The National Endowment for the Arts may be spending some of the money it received from the Recovery and Reinvestment Act to fund nude simulated-sex dances, Saturday night "pervert" revues and the airing of pornographic horror films at art houses in San Francisco. ...
[S]ome of the NEA's grants are spicing up more than the economy. A few of their more risque choices have some taxpayer advocates hot under the collar, including a $50,000 infusion for the Frameline film house, which recently screened Thundercrack, "the world's only underground kinky art porno horror film, complete with four men, three women and a gorilla." ...

We need to toally stop fund ALL the “arts”.
Yes, “art” is subjective and to be “on the safe side”
FUND NONE OF IT!
Thay way you won’t offend anyone.
Let those that want it - FUND IT.
The real reason that we can’t have the Ten Commandments posted in a School classrooms, any Courthouse or the Halls of Congress is this:
You cannot post ‘Thou Shalt Not Covet,’ ‘Thou Shalt Not Steal,’ ‘Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery,’ and ‘Thou Shall Not Lie’ in a buildings full of NEA minions, lawyers, judges, and politicians; it creates a hostile work environment.
Maybe I’m not as enlightened as the liberals, or just not a SanFran freak, but I don’t see the “stimulus” in movies like this.
Compared to the money the Congress Critters take home, I really don’t see the difference. No matter how you slice it, the public is getting figuratively and literally screwed.

Maybe it’s going to the fluffers ?
“FUND NONE OF IT!”
I agree 100%. Arts funding only ends up going to the wrong people anyways. Did The Beatles get funding from the government? Did Elvis? No.
Major bridge projects get no stimulus help

I think that this was on a Fox News with a Dem operative who claimed that there was nothing different going on from ‘W’s administration. This is so bogus because the funding has been protected and promoted by the Dems in Congress ever since Reagan tried to defund the entire thing. Not a lie but selective truth that depends upon the listeners credulity and lack of knowledge.
Billions going to ACORN is more obscene.
