panel from buffy the vampire slayer season 8<\/p>\n

ABC News<\/a>, among<\/a> others<\/a>, is a-huffle
\nover another Joss Whedon kerfuffle.
\n“Why can’t he”, they say,
\n“keep his girls ungay,
\nor at least make the sex more a-muffled?”<\/em><\/p>\n

Double-meaning FTW.<\/p>\n

The story is interesting itself, of course, especially if you’re a Buffy fan. Perhaps even more interesting are the current 113-odd comments of people calling for censorship and of people responding to the people asking for censorship, telling them that they’re uninformed idiots. Personally, I don’t know what the big issue is. (That was a comic book joke, right there.) BtVS had plenty of steamy moments in the show. In one episode, Buffy almost gets sexed-to-death<\/a> as she and Riley get it on at a haunted party. Less graphic, but equally blatant in its own right, is when Tara goes down on Willow in the musical episode singing, “Lost in ecstasy \/ Spread beneath my Willow tree.” The camera pans up, of course, just as Willow begins to levitate over the bed<\/em>. No, that’s not obvious at all.<\/p>\n

So what if Buffy gets a little saucy between the pages<\/em>. Graphically, it’s nothing worse than what we see on the standard Image comic cover<\/a>. Even DC and Marvel covers can get pretty racy these days. Ideologically? Well, considering chicks are making out on street corners these days<\/a> (albeit in Canada) as a form of protest, I’d say that it’s only a matter of time before the taboo gets … well, less taboo.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, good for Buffy, and as she so eloquently puts it, “Wow.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
