OK, back on the Joe Christ horse:

"Acid is Groovy Kill the Pigs": A meth addict buys acid because his dealer has no meth, eats the entire blotter, then, I guess, goes on a killing spree and interviews other serial killers he knows. The "pigs" of the title aren't cops, they're everyone who isn't a serial killer. The only halfway good scene is death by puppy. I was tempted to give this 1 star just because it shows improvement over the last 3 Christ films, but c'mon... it's 0.5/5.

"Sex Blood and Mutilation": This is actually a documentary on body piercing and mutilation. Christ introduces it while dressed as a priest and holding a chihuahua. Subjects include Genesis P-Orridge, whose penile and scrotal piercings we see way too much of, a porn director whose dominatrix girlfriend pierces him with needles, a tattooed man who drives a nail through his tongue, and a guy who's voluntarily had his penis removed (skeptical about this one, as his commentary was delivered in altered voiceover--his claim that he now has 5 orgasms a day is laughable, and it could well be someone who his organ to cancer). Christ claims these people are more than freakshows but never offers much insight as to why they do it. In the end Christ puts the dog in a bad and swings it against the wall--almost certainly faked, but it's a convincing trick. Still, it doesn't help his "this is not a freakshow" case. Just because I feel sorry for him and it does contain some real (not badly staged) shock footage... 1/5.

M.10orda, if "Acid is Groovy" was the only one you saw... you're lucky. It's actually the BEST of the fictional ones!

Some of the stuff they cut for MST3K is pretty nasty:

Does Alan Hale Jr. put his knee up on stuff while pantsless?

Not THAT nasty!

TV Guide.
Ashtrays in cars.
Ashtrays anywhere in public. Not even bars.
Juke boxes.
Porn magazines. I guess why buy a mag when you can see it in action on your phone? For free?
Console TV's. I get why. But can't you put a flat screen in  the front of a big box so you can set stuff on top of it? I guess that's kinda stupid, but, I kinda miss them...
Large stereo's with big speakers. The kind that would drive the neighbors down the block crazy. Not that I would play loud punk music anymore blasting the neighbors. I'm 64 soon. I don't even want the TV too loud.
Penny candy. Hell, even nickel or dime candy.
Comic books sold anywhere beyond a comic book shop. I can't think of ANYWHERE here within 20 miles that sells comic books. In Kalamazoo, I suppose, which is the largest town within 30 miles around here.

Which do you consider the worst episode of the season, Infection or Eyes? IMO the former is ham-handed hackery, while the latter takes an idea with some potential and completely whiffs it. Then again, you might regard something else as worse (though I can't imagine what).

Wow, I didn't know he was still alive!
I read Woodward's book about him, THE LAST OF THE PRESIDENT'S MEN,  a couple of years ago and found him impressive.
