The Grab Bag

If the accumulated bubbles on screen reach the bottom of the playing area, the game is over. If a level is beat, the player will be rewarded with crudely drawn erotica.

At an advanced screening for critics film critic Joel Siegel walked out of the movie aproximately 40 minutes in during a scene where the characters attempt to procure a donkey for sexual purposes. On his own web site Smith claimed that as he left Siegel "bellowed" the phrase "Time to go. This is the first movie I've walked out on in thirty fucking years." [4]

Shōnen-ai (少年愛 from 少年 shōnen young man + 愛 ai love) is an outdated term that refers to anime or manga that dealt with love between young men, especially of the bishōnen variety. Originally, the genre dealt with romanticized but non-sexual relationships between young men. The predecessor of shōnen-ai was Tanbi.

Shōnen-ai is usually less sexually explicit than yaoi, and the characters involved in shōnen-ai are generally of a much younger age. Shōnen-ai is very popular in Japan, especially among schoolgirls and housewives, and is often found as part of shōjo anime or manga. It has also found a strong audience in America, especially among 18–24 year old heterosexual women and homosexual men

Decadence generally refers to the supposed decline of a society because of moral weakness. The favourite example of this is ancient Rome, where, the story has it, a great empire was laid low by wicked emperors like Nero. However, the more dissolute emperors (Caligula, Nero, etc) ruled hundreds of years before the end of the empire (see also Roman decadence).

In modern use, decadence is often defined as a decline in or loss of excellence, obstructing the pursuit of ideals. It is typified by the elevation of cleverness, education, and intellectual pretension over experience and tradition, and is often considered materialistic.

Politically, World War I proved the decadent nature of the advanced capitalist countries to Lenin, that capitalism had reached the stage where it would destroy its own prior achievements more than it would advance.
