Here's an interesting news item which the Meese Commission would
undoubtedly wish to ignore:
******************************************************************
(From the Star-Ledger, 9/13/86 p.15 AP story)
"The Sylvester Stallone movie, 'Cobra', is too violent for Brazilian
audiences.....
Controversy arose when an audience in the northeastern city of
Recife destroyed seats in a theater after viewing 'Cobra' and when
a retired policeman in the northeastern city of Salvador fired a
gun after seeing the picture, wounding three people.
...
Movie producer Roberto Faria ...said the movie is sympathetic
to police-linked "death squads" that were active in Brazil in the
60's and 70's...."
*******************************************************************
I guess since "Cobra" does not arouse sexual desire, it is
perfectly acceptable.
"Make Death not Love" is the motto of Meese and his ilk!

No, they'd simply use it as another example of exposure of **something** causing unacceptable behavior and argue that one must decuce from this that viewing of erotica would lead to **whatever**. Please, no flames about generalizations. I'm trying to avoid overuse of net bandwidth. Neither my associates nor my employers necessarily know of nor share my opinions, but it sure would be nice....
