...Parents Television Council (PTC), a conservative watchdog group, has issued its annual report on the year's most (and least) offensive shows, which is always a fun read, filled with lots of dirty words. This year, the WB scored a unique double: Its "Dawson's Creek" was named the filthiest of PTC's "dirty dozen," while its squeaky-clean "7th Heaven" placed high on the group's "diamond dozen" list. "Creek" earned Most Objectionable honors with its Pacey-beds-his-teacher plotline...
California, with the nation's filthiest air, was the first to adopt a radical strategy--ordering automakers to produce zero-emission vehicles. And, as the country's largest auto market--with 1 of every 7 cars sold in the U.S.--it has the clout.

Waters' films have often made viewers feel healthy -- by default. The 1972 underground smash Pink Flamingos was about the "Filthiest People Alive" and climaxed with an act of coprophagy that still shocks; a Flamingos screening in Florida was busted last year. The film was so raw and assaultive in its mondo-trasho fashion -- a prime example of cinema sploshite -- that it made viewers feel it was made by those crude people...
...going through his late brother's effects, comes upon the manuscript of a book that has chapters with the same titles, in the same order, as The Counterlife. Henry reads about his alleged affair with Wendy and becomes enraged: "Of all the classics of irresponsible exaggeration, this was the filthiest, most recklessly irresponsible...
