Ezekiel25_17, excuse me, were you the one who suggested writing "Arbeit macht frei" on the gate of the Auschwitz concentration camp? No, you know, because it perfectly reflects your thinking. I bet that there, where people worked quite a lot instead of getting bored on the triclini, there was really no time for homosexuality.

I can't understand why Orwell's simple metaphor in "Animal Farm" is comprehensible and shareable, while Martin's harsh metaphor in "Snuff 2000" is incomprehensible and unspeakable. And what I mentioned from the TV program was just an example: don’t think that Martin doesn’t condemn real violence as well, and, dear avenger, if you’ve read the interview that you yourself link to, you’ll have noticed that it doesn’t seem to me that Martin is promoting the practices he writes about. Furthermore, excuse me, you say it yourself: if you don’t like "Buona domenica" (another national disgrace), you change the channel and it’s as if it no longer exists, right? Well, then do the same with "Snuff 2000": open "La Pimpa" and you’ll see that magically Martin’s comic will no longer exist.

@fedeee: I agree with everything (including the university choice, if you also chose architecture!!!), I too have created the most absurd relationships and the most terrible houses! As for episodes 2 and 3, I think Will Wright left Maxis precisely because these sequels only sought graphic improvements without any real enhancements or the addition of new original ideas: in simple words, the first one is UNBEATABLE.

@giustiziere: DID YOU READ IT???

@editors: that's the Spanish cover, but it's fine anyway! Thank you! ;)

P.S. for the editors: but why didn't you publish the cover I sent you? The one you've posted there is the poster for the short film based on "Snuff 2000," not the comic book cover. If you've already discarded it, I'll send it back to you.

Thank you all for the comments. @giustiziere: the existence of a remote control means nothing, and you sound just like an admirer of the berluskaiser from whom you (thankfully) try to distance yourself. For me, a television show like "Ti lascio una canzone," for example, is pure pedopornographic exploitation: if by "pornography" we mean the "explicit treatment or representation, in writings, drawings, films, photographs, etc., of subjects [...] considered obscene" in order to obtain and/or with the prior attainment of money, well, "Ti lascio una canzone" is pedopornography, because it exploits the image and bodies of children to make money, and furthermore with a horrible show in which the kids sing songs that are completely inappropriate for them, of which they don't even know the meaning, and all just for the enjoyment NOT OF THEM, but OF THOSE WATCHING. And do you think it's worse to have a comic that portrays metaphorical violence or a TV program that enacts real violence? This is just one example of many encountered across all media, but trust me that metaphor is a powerful tool and Martin knows how to use it perfectly; if you want to interpret this comic as a collection of gratuitous atrocities, go ahead, but know that you would be on the same level as those Nazi censors who declared abstraction as "degenerate art."

@Lupin: I agree with everything.

@manliuzzo: I think so too!!! Building houses is fantastic, it must be professional deformation, I don’t know... XD

All my compliments to comment #20 of The Punisher: I agree with you. To anyone who hasn’t read this comic and/or others by Martin: no offense, of course, but you don’t know what you’re talking about.
