Crack That Whip!

As you may recall from last year at this time, this day is the 269th anniversary of the birth of the Marquis de Sade, who gave angst a good name. BAD name, sorry, I meant to say he gave it a bad name. Freudian slip there.



Bottoms up!








Didn't mean to leave this much space. Drat.

    Considering that the depiction of Daria's room in "Daria Diaries" has the spiked collar...

    maybe I can use this somewhere.

    Ever actually read 120 Days In Sodom? Nah, me neither. But I've "wiki'd" it and in the later chapters it's supposed to get REALLY REALLY depraved, even by my standards. And the "f word" is in the FIRST paragraph and it was written in 1785.

    You mean the Marquis de Sade pioneered the "success through failure" philosophy?

    Brnleague99, I don't know if you know, but the Italian director Pasolini made a film adaptation of it. Said to be the most disturbing and controversial film ever. Wonder why?

    The 120 Days is an almost impossibly disturbing read. I have read it all the way through and it was a real test of my ability to force myself through even the worst the world has to offer.

    Honestly, the book sucks, and its not just the disturbing subject matter. It's just not well written. Take away the shock value and you are left with a very boring, self indulgent work.

    De Sade is my mentor. :)Then you don't learn well, You actually do some character development, give reasons for character actions and your work is only occasionally boring and self indulgent ;) heheeh

    I've read pretty much everything De Sade wrote. Most of it I thought was interesting, and quite a bit was really, really funny.

    Yeah . . . I'll just see myself out, then. >_>

    Yeah but funny in the unintentional way. I do admit that once the initial shock wears off it becomes comedy much in the same way horror movies or porn flicks become comedy... :)
