Ready for a Boston-style assault on Christmas? Check out “The Slutcracker” coming to the Somerville Theatre. It’s a celebration of strippers, sadomasochism, transsexuals, and “the carefree realm of sexual fantasy.” Of course, the blurbs in Boston Magazine, the Boston Herald, or the Boston Globe only hint at how raunchy it is.

Unbelievably, the Boston Herald even jokes about sexual abuse of children in its Holiday Arts Preview:

And if the Santa Claus in your life needs some lovin’, “The Slutcracker” may be just the thing to set the mood. A parody retelling of the classic, written and directed by Vanessa White, this sexy, freaky, holiday, zeitgeist spectacular runs at the Somerville Theatre Dec. 10-20. Let’s just hope Drosselmeyer doesn’t do anything illegal with the kids.

A sexually deviant retelling of The Nutcracker is not an attack on Christmas (!) and to think so is to make one guilty of a hate crime.

Meanwhile, if you breath a single word in opposition to homosexual marriage, they will destroy your life.

2% of the population seems to have an awful lot of power -- and they misuse every bit of it.

Boston, like most of America's large cities, has gone the way of Sodom and Gommorah. The cities' leaders need to be turned into pillars of salt.

Residents of Boston and other cities need to march on city hall and remind these weasels who is supposed to be running THEIR lives, not the other way around!

While the rest of the country dreams of sugar plumbs, the liberals dream of this.
I can't say I'm surprised.

And that 2% includes prison inmates who aren't doing it by choice. It's all they have.

...am I supposed to laugh at this? How in the hell does anyone find this line funny!? Libs want to suppress free speech from “hate mongering” talk show hosts, FOX etc, but this BS works?! I lived in Boston in the mid 80’s. Haven’t been back since and never will. How does a decent parent explain this line to a child that happens across it?

Put together by local dance troup. “Babes in Boinkland”
A burlesque dance group.

Kind of hard to call it an attack on Christmas when this is apparently what they do all the time anyway. Just a holiday themed event. And it has an age 18 requirement so it’s not much different from any other current Gentelmans Club in and around Boston or most anywhere else in the US.

It’s fitting that it is playing in “Slumerville”. Someone should ask Mike Capuano about it.

If his campaign commercials are any clue,he wouldn’t be able to answer unless he could fit the words “Bush” or “Cheney” into his response...
