With the economy improving we should be seeing more Sleaze entertainment popping up as we reach the middle of 2010 and the summer sleaze season surfaces. As Americans (and the rest of the world waiting for our Sleaze offerings) feel better about their economic situation, there's, in theory, going to be more spent on entertainment, and what brings in the big bucks more than Sleaze? Torture porn mega-franchise Saw Whatever--what number is coming this fall, Tobias?--what'll they be thinking of next to top the previous torture-as-entertainment sleaze? A new sleazy pop diva should be emerging to maintain the premium we place on promiscuity. We can't let crotch-grab queen Madonna down with a break in our collective obsession with lusting divas and their faithful fans, and the celebrity gossip publications that prop them up then viciously take them down in the inevitable crash of affairs, substance abuse, or whatever the publications can scrounge up to be nasty.
Oh loosen up, you might say. Lusting divas and pop singers crotch grabbing with reckless abandon (actually carefully choreographed) and the green-lighting of misogynistic lyrics in mainstream pop music is all about young people dancing and enjoying themselves and expressing themselves honestly. Misogyny in lyrics is just guys being honest, telling it like it it, a backlash against political correctness, Aren't most guys secretly misogynistic? It's not like there's a breakdown in society, civil unrest. It's like the discofiles 35 years ago. shaking their collective ooties, as we've noted before, under the collective disco balls during the mid-to-late 1970s, and into the early 1980s. Actually, the Disco balls were with us for a while; Madonna didn't emerge as a superstar until 1983, and she was a creature of the Disco age. And, incidentally, we're looking for the date of her first honest-to-goodness crocth grab. 1984, maybe? Tobias has assmebled a couple of them at our home page, FYI/ At any rate, today's lusting youth are following in the footsteps of their lusting parents, when they were in their lustful prime, not to mention their once-lusting grampses and grandmas--as if the aging baby boomers weren't once young?
We'll be on the lookout for Fresh Sleaze as April 2010 rolls into May and invite you to give us a heads up here at the Sleaze Nation blog when you come across Sleaze content we should be aware of. How about the satellite talk radio scene? We haven't been monitoring that and we can imagine the Sleaze that situates itself in this arena--which brings to mind one of the original Sleaze Mongers of the final decades of the 20th Century, none other than Howard Stern. What's Howard been up to lately?
We hope to begin filming again soon for a completed Sleaze Nation documentary, for release in 2011. We've been working on this for more than three years now, on and off as time has allowed, and sense the time's right for the film to be made. Please take a minute to look at the completed video clips at our Web site and let us know what you think. We are always looking for feedback and welcome your responses.
