Thank you everyone who came out to last week's screening of Birth!

Surprisingly, that was the most scandalized I've ever seen a Perverts crowd (maybe excluding Salo). It makes me wonder about the state of the liberal zeitgeist, and how right-wing “protect the children” hysteria is trickling down. Media literacy is needed now more than ever.

If you were one of said overly-scandalized audience members, this is only slight shade.
