      Bring back shame!

      Pride has lost its subversive edge. It'll soon be a Hallmark card holiday. All those semi-naked gorgeous guys and gals dancing to disco on the floats, showing off their buff bodies, it's like a crossroads where soft core meets celeb meets body building.

      Bring back nasty dirty ugly unspeakable sex. No wonder the Victorians were the sexiest people, they knew how baaaad it really is. Healthy sex is touched up hollywood fascism. Sex is (holy) confusion.
