Well, ok, not Produces, per se. Just funds. With your dollars.
The National Endowment for the Arts may be spending some of the money it received from the Recovery and Reinvestment Act to fund nude simulated-sex dances, Saturday night “pervert” revues and the airing of pornographic horror films at art houses in San Francisco.
The NEA was given $80 million of the government’s $787 billion economic stimulus bill to spread around to needy artists nationwide, and most of the money is being spent to help preserve jobs in museums, orchestras, theaters and dance troupes that have been hit hard by the recession.
But some of the NEA’s grants are spicing up more than the economy. A few of their more risque choices have some taxpayer advocates hot under the collar, including a $50,000 infusion for the Frameline film house, which recently screened Thundercrack, “the world’s only underground kinky art porno horror film, complete with four men, three women and a gorilla.”
So, basically, while folks like you and I have issues keeping our jobs and the economy is in the tank, the NEA is making sure that people who make porn and pass it as ‘art’ continue to be well fed.
Your Tax Dollars at work.
Where do YOU draw the line?
As an odd aside, per google news, only FOX News is reporting this. Most curious.
Sex with apes? I wonder what Charles “Darwinist Rage Boy” Johnson will have to say about this.
Too much monkey business goin’ on with our tax dollars!
I know someone who posts here who probably could benefit by seeing some porn and/or getting some horizontal action.

Apparently it is more important than keeping bad guys in prisons, keeping qualified teachers, hiring 911 operators and the like.
re: #6 by m
apparently. we can’t have those repo’d homes art-free!
there aren’t enough people who think that crap is art to make it profitable, so the government forces you and I to give them money.
At least if we were customers, we’d get something for our money.
torches and pitchforks, folks…

Care to elaborate?
will I guess they don’t call it the National ENDOWMENT for the arts for nothing.
re: #9 by WrathofG-d
And, the bill was passed to stimulate.
re: #9 by WrathofG-d
That’ll be enough out of you,lol.
The problem is, these people are proud of their deviancy and want others to follow them into the gutter. If the inhabitants of San Fransicko want to fling feces at each other like monkeys in a zoo then they should have to fund it without our tax monies. Botox Pelosi’s district is a cancer devouring the soul of our nation.

Maybe that’s why she’s always blinking… She represents a group so far down in the gutter that even the scummy conditions of DC are too bright for her.
I wonder if, when she’s in her home… if you turn on the lights, will she scatter?
re: #8 by My5princesses
Not really (and I am not referring to me either).
re: #14 by Speranza
I’m sure we know who you’re referring to.
Please tell me why the so called ‘artists’ never seem to feel the urge to push their boundaries when it comes to Korans, and Mo?
Crucifixes in urine….. that’s so ’90s,
Try something a little more high tech and mobile say a Star of David morphing in the swastika… nah old hat!
Koran toilet paper hung in the Met? Opps… nah that’s asking for a C4 critic and a fatwa! Better not do THAT kinda art!
Better to bait the Christians and Jews… after all how long has it been since the last Methodist suicide bomber? Yup a MUCH better idea…. and it has artistic merit ….well at least the ‘artist’ continues to breath!
Zounds … I have it! Use hard earned taxpayer’s dollars to fund pornographers …. oppps I mean ‘artists’! It’s hard keeping track these days! Ohhh the trials that the PC must endure to bring … ‘art’ to the great unwashed masses.
Now shut up you cretins and hand over your cash… i feel an artistic flush coming on!

Hey man, no argument that it’s outrageous that our tax dollars are going to porn, but I would have made it a funny post, in fact it practically begs to be made a funny post. You’re incredibly uptight.
[...] NEA back to funding porn, including a $50,000 infusion for the Frameline film house, which recently screened Thundercrack, “the world’s only underground kinky art porno horror film, complete with four men, three women and a gorilla. Your borrowed debt to the Chinese at work. [...]
re: #17 by Speranza
If I’m the one that’s uptight, why are you the one always complaining?
