释义 |
Jerker was filmed in 1991, starring Joseph Stachura as J. R. and Tom Wagner as Bert and directed by Hugh Harrison. PlotTwo characters, Bert and J.R., exchange a series of sexually explicit telephone calls after connecting through a "phone sex" line. The highly pornographic content of the first phone calls abates as the men begin to explore other aspects of themselves and each other. In the final scenes J.R. cannot contact Bert because the latter has died from AIDS. J.R. declares his love for his departed friend. Obscenity controversyJerker was at the center of an obscenity controversy shortly after its premiere, when Pacifica Radio affiliate KPFK broadcast excerpts from the play on August 31, 1986. Larry Poland, a Christian minister, filed a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission the next day. Poland claimed to have tuned into the broadcast accidentally and, upon hearing it, claimed that it "did violence to [him] and [his] family." He continued, "They potentially took away my control of being able to protect my children from learning about certain sexual practices at certain times in their lives." Chesley responded, "Prudery kills, on the radio or anywhere else....Nobody ever died from being offended by what they see or hear."[6]The FCC ruled that the broadcast was indecent and possibly obscene.[7] The FCC sanctioned the station[4] and implemented new, more stringent broadcast indecency guidelines.[8] Notes1. ^Clum, pp. 59–61 2. ^{{cite news | last = Shewey | first = Don | title = AIDS on Stage: Comfort, Sorrow, Anger | work = The New York Times | date = 1987-06-21 | url = http://theater2.nytimes.com/mem/theater/treview.html?res=9B0DEFD8153FF932A15755C0A961948260 | accessdate = 2009-03-12 }} 3. ^O'Hara, p. 209 4. ^1 2 3 {{cite news | last = Breslauer | first = Jan | title = Drawing more out of 'Jerker' | work = The Los Angeles Times | date = 2006-08-06 | url = http://articles.latimes.com/2006/aug/06/entertainment/ca-kearns6?s=g&n=n&m=Broad&rd=www.google.com&tnid=1&sessid=d1e1445ca23eda1a580c4e80e7dffb2c3204ed26&pg=0&pgtp=article&eagi=&page_type=article&exci=2006_08_06_entertainment_ca-kearns6 | accessdate = 2009-03-12 }} 5. ^University of Kent Special Archives and Collections | url = https://archive.kent.ac.uk/Record.aspx?src=CalmView.Catalog&id=PRG%2fDAW%2fTHE+GAT+PEM++%3a+F175331 | accessdate = 2017-09-07 6. ^quoted in Witt, et al., p. 126 7. ^Wolf, et al., p. 214 8. ^{{cite news | last = Jones | first = Alex S | title = F.C.C.
