Skinny Puppy "Worlock" official "x" video (now called "NC-17)





It may take 3 clicks to get the video to play. You also may have to click the "unmute" button on the video screen to hear sound. But it will eventually begin.
My apologies for this irritation.

Official Video
1990 from the album "Rabies"



The images in this video ARE NOT REAL.
Please keep in mind all video and imagery in this music video is a collection of artificial special effects from scenes in established fictional movies that were deemed by the MPAA as crossing the ratings line from "R" to "X" until anti-censorship groups successfully brought about the replacement of the rating "X" to instead "NC 17" for films which depict FAKE images of violence that would otherwise be rejected by the MPAA which rated it followed by the motion picture company which produced the film so that they could sell tickets under an "R" rating.

Video scene from Jacob's Ladder "The Hospital Sequence"





It may take 3 clicks to get the video to play. You also may have to click the "unmute" button on the video screen to hear sound. But it will eventually begin.
My apologies for this irritation.



Excerpt From:
"Jacob's Ladder" 
(The Hospital Scene)
--Tears For Fears

This sequence defies description. On the one hand it's both horrifying and disgusting. 
On the other hand, it's like watching a 3-dimensional moving Francis Bacon painting. 
Bacon painted people and animals as mutated into bizarre shapes, and sometimes there was violence and blood involved. But because these were "art" or "paintings' by an established and well known and respected artist, there was no furor over their release.
So my experience of this sequence is the same as looking at a Francis Bacon painting. It's disturbing, but compelling at the same time. "The beauty of decay." The beauty of atrocity.


I might have to put this warning on several posts: The images in this video are FAKE movie special effects. NOT REAL.

Romulus Thaddeus Payne


Not entirely sure who's headstone this is. It clearly says "Romulus Payne" 
But the date of death is wrong (1924 on the stone and 1956 according to records.)
Also, I can't find it now, but last year I came across my great grandfather R. T. Payne's headstone in a Muskogee OK cemetery right where it should be. It was very plain and laying on the ground.
But it seems like a strange chance that someone else would be named Romulus Payne. 
Like one in a billion.
