Re: The National Endowment of the Arts
Financial support - Maplethorpe Exhibit
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you, Senator Helms, for being an untiring supporter in the allocation of tax dollars for the public display of hot, hot cocks.
I can attest to the fact that people cannot seem to get enough nudity. Emails come flooding in asking why I do not post nude photographs on my website...in fact, demanding that I do so.
The fact that I HAVE some nude photographs (not of myself, of course) makes those demands all the more troublesome. So, you can undrstand why exhibitions such as Robert Maplethorpe's blatant and disturbing homoerotic photography are important.
If the effort of deeply disturbed and frighteningly powerful men such as yourself to ensure the public display of naked, gay phalluses cannot quench the Caligulan obsessions of the masses, I fear for the future.
Keep up the good work, Senator.
