Crude Cut

In its racier days of the 1970's, National Lampoon's was able to publish musings which would draw tremendous public outcry today. Given the opportunity to review some of the toilet humor of this era of National Lampoon's, one should not pass up the opportunity. While some of the selections were a bit too weird for my taste, "Another Dirty Book" is still an amusing read. The first selection is titled "Obligatory Sex Scenes" in which classic works of literature are updated for modern audiences with character appropriate raunchy sex scenes. "What Evey Girl Should Know" is the birds and the bees talk as given by boys with an agenda. It may be the highlight of the collection. Another selection for which I will withhold the title seems a parody of Kafka's metamorphisis. In this selection, an adolescent girl awakens to a new set of equipment. The story is named for the new "equipment". Some of the stories just seemed to be more off-color than funny. At times, I think the goal was to shock more than entertain. Still, the collection of short stories has entertainment value.
