Who am I to say a porn title is distasteful? Why would I have no problem with Assraelis but think Cuntrol is a little too on the nose? Is it because I remember Eddie Baranowski saying “Cuntrol” at lunch in the cafeteria when we were in fourth grade, and the rest of us giggling?
Gianna Lynn will host Tightfit Productions’ release party for its whiptastic movie Cuntrol on February 27 at Hollywood’s Dragonfly. Also in attendance will be flagellist Master Dominic, who will coordinate the live bondage show.
But back to cunt. It seems that only the British can say it in a way that strips it of its harshness.
Who can forget Jack MacGowran, speaking from Hell through the possessed Linda Blair in The Exorcist:
Do you know what she did? Your cunting daughter?
Delightful. Or John Lennon in this outtake of a song written about Paul McCartney:
How do you sleep, ya coont?
Even Queen Elizabeth II sounds witty and urbane when she says it:
Hey cunts: In remembering the appalling suffering of war on both sides – a war started by Hun cunts, I might add – we recognise how precious is the cunterrific peace we have built in Europe since 1945.
But when we say it it just sounds kind of mean, even if porn is the most appropriate place to use that word. Obviously it is I who must change.
Please help, won’t you? When you see me at the Dragonfly next Tuesday (and it isn’t lost on me that the party inspires people to say “C U Next Tuesday”), whip your cunt out, if you’ve got one, and say, “Gram, this is my cunt. However unfortunate you think the word is, what it symbolizes is A-OK.”
So you know, I also don’t like the word Clamato.
