» In the next few weeks we will be trying out In-Text Advertising, a new type of advertising that we think is less intrusive than many other formats. Basically, keywords on our pages that correspond to an advertiser's product or service will be double-underlined in green. More details here.
Wesley Snipes stars as an old-fashioned bad guy in a future
where all is harmonious, and Sylvester Stallone stars as the old-fashioned cop who must
catch him.
SEX/NUDITY 3 - One virtual reality sex scene, in which the participants
never touch. They contribute sounds of arousal, and we see nanosecond flashes of a woman's
breasts. A discussion takes place about the exchange of bodily fluids during sex, and the
diseases that can be transmitted by such acts. Two kisses. There is also a very quick shot
of a nude woman on a picture screen. We also see several nude males. There are no clear
shots of genitals, but we do see derrieres. And, of course, Stallone takes his shirt off a
few times.
VIOLENCE/GORE 7 - There are lots of fire fights, fist fights and explosions,
with obvious results, and some blood and gore. Snipes removes the eye of a victim and
carries it around on the end of a pen. Several buildings blow up. A man is shot and then
tossed into a fireplace. A man is picked up and squeezed by a mechanical arm, while
another man shoots at him. A man is instantly frozen and then his head is knocked off.

PROFANITY 6 - A couple of dozen F-words and its permutations as well as
scatological terms, anatomical references and profane name calling. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - The future, utopias and totalitarianism, behavior
modification, alternatives to the present penal system, solutions to today's social ills.
MESSAGE - Total peace and harmony may sound good, but they stifle human
creativity. In order to solve a problem, sometimes violence is the only way.
