Gaytanamo - but is it ART?

Those excellent  bloggers of gay life Stateside, www.queerty.com, have an interesting story running at the moment.

Seems that the makers of this delightful film:

Gaytanamo

are claiming that far from being insensitive and just a bit rude, it is in fact a deep social commentary on the nature of American society.

No, seriously.

Check out this quote from producers Dark Alley:

"Our use of this title does not, as many have jumped to the conclusion, suggest ignorance, lack of humanity, or any other stereotype which people are fond of applying to the category of pornographer.

"In fact, it represents a very conscious and deliberate attempt to suggest the interplay of culture, politics, sexuality, and representation in a work that has found meaning in an area where erotic film has not previously found relevance."

Pretentious porn. Love it.
