Why: Imagine eating a single fry of poutine and trying to call
that a meal. When you really need a greasy, imobilizing and salty
treat, the only thing more disgusting is <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnpofBtijF8"><span class="il">John</span> <span class="il">Waters</span></a>,
who must be overindulged in for full appreciation.The battle cry of
“filth is my politics, filth is my life” cannot be lost to the future
degenerations. Our only resolution this new year is to keep up the norm
bashing, shame smashing and hate trashing that has inspired us since
day one.<span id="more-918"></span>
