the year of puppet sex

Reason: Gabbo Gets Laid. 2004: The Year of Puppet Sex (Thanks, Thatcher!)

For me, the defining moment of the year came when the Motion Picture Association of America required Trey Parker and Matt Stone to trim a few seconds from a sex scene in their marionette movie Team America: World Police. Even in its reduced state, the sequence probably set a record for explicit puppet-on-puppet sex.

If 2004 is The Year Puppet Sex Broke, then it must be time for people to start decrying the current popular crop as ripoffs of the superior originals. Let me be the first to do so by recommending the 1976 film Let My Puppets Come, from the director of Deep Throat and The Devil In Miss Jones. And proving that a having a pupet sex movie in your filmography can lead to future Oscar gold is Meet the Feebles from 1989, which was directed by Peter Jackson of Lord of the Rings fame.
