BBC ABANDONS BALLET WITH DEFORMED RAPIST POPE

The BBC has abandoned plans to screen a ballet featuring a deformed Pope who rapes nuns that it had announced as one of the highlights of its Christmas schedule.

Last month the corporation said it would televise "In The Spirit Of Diaghilev" from London's Sadler's Wells Dance Theatre as part of a season of ballet programs.

The tribute to the Russian impresario comprises four acts, each by a groundbreaking choreographer, with the entire production due to be screened on BBC Four next month.

But it wasn't until the production premiered at Sadler's Wells that the BBC discovered that one of the acts, "Eternal Damnation To Sancho And Sanchez" by Javier de Frutos, centers on a group of "horny" priests and a fictional hunchback Pope, who rapes eunuchs and pregnant nuns.
...

Maybe they could pair "Eternal Damnation To Sancho And Sanchez" with "The Nutcracker".

Maybe Bruce should remount "The First Nudie Musical" as a ballet

I suppose I'm up because the oafs have insured that their gardeners arrive at eight-thirty every Friday, unlike every other considerate person in the nabe - my gardener and everyone else's arrive anytime between noon and five.

Neither your gardener nor those of your considerate neighbors are under contract to a clandestine organization dedicated to annoying you.

Remember my little rant about the gluttony of certain record labels? I can basically boil it down to one, and though they put out great stuff, the way in which they like to do their little announcements and then continue to try and trump others is getting a little irritating to not only me but to other labels. So, last week FSM starts preorders for a 15 CD Rozsa set at $180. Then Intrada announces two two CD sets, one of which is a complete release of Back To The Future. Before anyone can even breathe, another label today announces THREE releases at once, one a two CD set. And two of them are what could only be called as blockbuster. This sort of gluttony knows no precedent as far as I can see - because the third, while not blockbuster is, for some, even more desirable, Les Baxter's Panic In The Year Zero. The other two?.......

bk - I know it may be quite maddening for you, but, in the end, it's "just" Business. And with the Holiday Shopping Season in full swing as of midnight last night, and with retailers of all sorts trying to improve their profit margins, well...

I'd say announce as early as you can, then send out reminders... often! It's all about getting people to earmark their funds for Kritzerland now - not later.

As for yesterday's Thanksgiving Feast here in Richmond:

In attendance: Mom, Dad, Myself, my brothers, Don and Mike; Mike's kids: John Michael, Alyssa & Emily; and Don's two dogs: Iki and Jax (short for "Jumping Jacks Flash"). -Don's daughter, Alexandra, was spending the holiday down in Virginia Beach with her other grandparents; and my brother, Jay, is West Coasting this year.

On the table: turkey, ham, stuffing/dressing, green bean casserole, sweet potatoes (with LOTS of marshmallows), cranberry relish (the canned jellied stuff (which I like)), mashed potatoes, rice (of course), sweet potato pie, pumpkin pie.

Best of all: NO Drama.

Calling JRand and his Dream-o-Matic!

I had a dream last night that had I two small mice (as pets?) and cages for them. From time to time they'd manage to get out of their cages. A friend was helping me get things under control.

Any ideas, Jack?

On the other hand, I am sorry that these releases are making you mad, BK. but your releases certainly sell well, anyhow. And I hope they continue to do so.

I just lost a game of Rummikub to my cat Rex. Of course, since he doesn't have any thumbs, I had to make all his moves for him. And I had to decide what those moves would be since he slept through most of the game.

To be clear, the RELEASES of other labels don't make me mad at all, and I buy them happily. It's the WAY in which this one company has been trying to one-up every other label, by either moving up release dates to trump them, or doing these split announcements, order dates, which, in essence, is two announcements.

I'll just announce when I announce and it will be what it will be - but the gluttony is going to ultimately cause more harm than gain - it's already started, as a matter of fact.
