F6 recieved the title of this post and the pic on the right as a confidential comment towards this whole fiasco, we thought it was funny and posted it. In addition, so F6 can provide a full disclosure in its public service, here is the original WANE TV News Channel Fifteen story by Megan Stembol. Please note that there were certain inaccuracies in this report which were later corrected by Kevin Leininger in his review of the situation which you can review in the post below.
And finally, a comment from John Cameron Mitchell, taken directly from Andy Towle's Towleroad, the 22nd of March 2006:
"I actually like pornography, but I don't consider this film pornographic. I define — and most people do — pornography as devoid of artistic intent. The purpose of pornography is to arouse. I don't think anyone got [sexually aroused] watching this film. There is a certain provocation we had in mind with this film, but more important than that, we wanted to use sex as a metaphor for things that were, perhaps, universal, themes like connection and love and fear. We just thought the language of sex could be used the way the language of music could be used in a musical."

I am thrilled that John cameron Mitchell is willing and ready to address the issues that have been raised here in Fort Wayne. An artist who stands behind his creation and seeks to enlighten other about his inspiration is refreshing. I look forward to hearing his comments Wednesday night. He is a genius!
