Here's the thing, though. That which shocked us in the early 70's when A Clockwork Orange was released no longer shocks us. We were vastly more conservative then. These days A Clockwork Orange is de rigeur viewing on campuses nationwide. It certainly was on mine.
One thing we deserve to be shocked about is that a cane-wielding, codpieced rapist is any more acceptable now than it was then.
But let's not think about that. Let's talk instead about the boob and how it was Janet's last grasp at relevence. Much better to trade in our stories of shock and outrage than to face the darkness of our own souls.
The boob.. The booooooob....
