Ha! This, and your love of Fox News, is why we love you, Droopy.

I am interested in being the reference for the entire board and audit this class to see if this is really true.
Always the martyr!

I can imagine an art class in some moslem university (oxymoron?) where the models wear skin colored burqa.

The cultural deprivation of not being able to watch Bad Santa, Basic Instinct, or Saw just leaps out at you.

I simply don't understand that stupid prohibition of R-rated movies for adults. People who may vote about wars, about destination of milliards of dollars, about future status of millions of people - may not watch certain movies or TV productions.
The GAs (or whoever) themselves didn't watch, then tell people to not watch...
We should wait a few century (like The Great and Abominable One):
The Index Librorum Prohibitorum ("List of Prohibited Books") was a list of publications prohibited by the Catholic Church. A first version (the Pauline Index) was promulgated by Pope Paul IV in 1559, and a revised and somewhat relaxed form (the Tridentine Index) was authorized at the Council of Trent. The promulgation of the Index marked the "turning-point in the freedom of enquiry" in the Catholic world. The final (20th) edition appeared in 1948, and it was formally abolished on 14 June 1966 by Pope Paul VI.

It is unfortunate that Mormons do seem to lag behind in the artistic scene, especially when I consider that one of their most sacred temple ceremonies is a rather lengthy piece of theater.
All the Best!

Yes, and it could certainly do with some freshening up. Maybe they should hire some gentile scriptwriters, actors and directors to make the next film.

The only films worth watching are obviously great masterpieces such as Furry Vengeance and Cats & Dogs: The Revenge Of Kitty Galore.

Watch any of the LDS videos or DVDs such as Our Heavenly Father's Plan or any similar production, and listen to the original music written for these films. Its the same, relentlessly clichéd, formatted pop soft rock style that has dominated LDS music and Christian music since my teenage years.
Perhaps the Osmonds are indicative of a trend that begin early on and has set in like a hard curing resin, but what has the Church produced within genres like Jazz, jazz fusion, new age/meditation/space, contemporary Celtic, folk, or other such genres where each and every song or composition doesn't sound like the last ten thousand times you heard You Light up my Life or Greatest Love of All?
I have to agree with you here - LDS pop music is so syrupy and sappy that it puts the listener at risk of a diabetic coma.
