“It was a brilliant ploy. Some may have squirmed at the extended bare breasted segments and the graphic portrayal of lesbian sex, but I woke up yesterday thinking about it, and the phrase that came to mind was “good clean fun”! It felt like it wasn’t done for any other reason but to laugh at and for ourselves.” – Stan Yarian, Emily’s Grandfather
