""Maybe it was seeing 10 men dancing naked while singing 'The Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy of Company B.' Perhaps it was the castration-by-chain-saw scene. But the torture of the black slave was even more upsetting. And the 4 1/2-foot-tall, physically handicapped Fairy Godmother—sheer exploitation! But the coup de grace had to be when the green-haired boy with rings piercing his tongue, nipples, stomach, genitals and anus—-you know the one I mean?-—when he's nude and hanging upside down in a fish tank and . . . on top of all that, why did it climax on Mars during a picnic with a heartfelt rendition of 'Take Me Out to the Ball Game'?"
