Speaking of crudity...

...I try to avoid it, but maybe it's time to write like a Nobel Prize winner. It's not just Pinter: the work of Elfriede Jelinek, last year's winner,
has also been described as "pornographic" for its frank depictions of sex and violence, but Jelinek's reputation as an overtly political writer has kept critics from denouncing her work as simply prurient.
So as long as you're political , it's OK to be pornographic. However, political seems to mean left-wing anti-American.
