I know many people consider this a cult classic, but I take issue with the DID partnering with Boudoir Noir, a shop that sells pornography. In looking over their web site you find X-Rated DVD titles like, Anal Teen Newbies, Daddys Bad Girl and My Bareback Coach.
What the hell is the DID and the Botanical Conservatory thinking?

A few of us went to Glenbrook to watch that movie after a hard evenings drinking back when it was THE late night movie to see the cinema. What a waste of money, I could have bought 3 more beers for the price of admission. You can find better looking trannies at Russ Mores!
They couldn't get Jiffy Lube as a co-sponsor?
Boidnoir Noir is trying to legitimize what they do in downtown and Fort Wayne by 'buying' a piece of publicity. While I don't care what they do with their customers, I don't want a business which sells XXX rated films, being hailed as some great downtown business because they threw a little cash at a Halloween program.
This is total hypocrisy, just like the Science Central debacle.
DID and Science Central get federal, state and local money. They are non profit organizations. How on earth can they think they can keep their status and remain uninfluenced by political, psychosocial and liberal agendas?
If I want my tax dollars going towards radical ideas like this, I will donate to individual groups. Keep it out of my tax-dollar-supported institutions.
Makes you wonder how successful DID is, if they had to stoop to this to get sponsors.
What about that new sports bar? hotel? What about that minor league team sponsoring it? What's wrong with the existing businesses who have a non-lethal reputation? Were they asked?
I loved the movie. Funny, irreverent. I think the Jiffy Lube idea is great, Doug. They would laugh, too. As for Rip, trannies are cute, too. I just hope I never have to look at it or at a related bill from the Mercedes dealer.
This hearkens back to a time long ago when Fort Wayne supported a number of establishments that catered to the "adult" crowd. Specifically, the book store that periodically featured discounts on some of their "equipment and hardware". I must admit, I was the copywriter who penned the memorable phrase……"come early, and beat the crowds".
