Two Lips
There's a huge row going on in The Netherlands about what one article calls "a stale old porn movie." BNN – the PBS of the Netherlands – is planning to air Deep Throat and everyone's freaking out. The fabulously named Arie Slob has denounced the film for ruining the life of a human being (um, don't most movies ruin the lives of those who appear in them?). Dutch public television has fought back saying the whole experience will be contextualized by showing Inside Deep Throat. The article observes "Dutch public television – government-funded, but editorially independent – is trying desperately to win back younger viewers who generally prefer the commercial channels." Maybe PBS here should try showing some stale old porn movies.
