what my mind carbonates on and what I'll keep in a work is worlds apart. Still--I was shocked that so far all of you are in my portion of the ball park. :D
Oh and Sexy sex and violence are two different mind sets to me. the various body parts is why I don't read Stephen King--they haunt me at night. And I'm thrilled to have missed anything involving a (click to show/hide)pony rape--I mean why not do (click to show/hide)Barney on HBO for crying out loud.... Disgusting. Okay now I sound like a prude.

Is that "Barney goes to Jurassic Park" vid still floating around ? "I love you, you love me", then promptly gets eaten by a real tyrannosaurus ? I have to say, I found that satisfying on an aesthetic level.

More seriously, the edge case there that interests me is of reclaiming things that are edgy or have been misused, for positive purposes.
Some of the most messed-up people I've ever met have been people who were abused in ways which, intentionally or not, used things they actively enjoyed against them, such that there were levels of a horrible negative experience to which they could not help having a positive response; and recovery from there by getting those same experiences in a positive context, even if they are actions that look negative, is an incredibly strong thing.
I think of it like spicy foods, myself. Lots of people like the sensations they get from eating very spicy foods, whereas to me that's agonisingly unpleasant; the taste buds and nerves involved are doing the same things and passing on the same sensations, it's up to the mind at the other end whether they are fun or nasty.

Anything that involves Barney getting wacked is appealing.....

Some years ago a friend of mine cobbled together a "Godzilla Meets Barney" video from footage of both - it's a very short film of Barney singing "I love you, you love me" and then getting torched. Is that what you're thinking of? I believe it made the rounds of the SF conventions.
