neg: Unsimulated sex Unsimulated sex is the presentation in a film of sex scenes where the actors engage in an actual sex act , and are not just miming or simulating the actions . At one time in the United States such scenes were restricted by law and self-imposed industry standards such as the Motion Picture Production Code . Films showing explicit sexual activity were confined to privately distributed underground films , such as stag films or `` porn loops '' . Beginning in the late 1960s , most notably with Blue Movie by Andy Warhol , mainstream cinemas began pushing boundaries in terms of what was presented on screen . Although the vast majority of sexual situations depicted in mainstream cinema are simulated ( in early pornography , the main actors engaged in simulated sex , with inserts placed in the film ) , on rare occasions actors engage in real sex . The difference between these films and pornography is that , while such scenes might be considered erotic , the intent of these films is not solely pornographic .   Notable examples include two of the eight Bedside-films and the six Zodiac-films from the 1970s , all of which were produced in Denmark and had many pornographic sex scenes , but were nevertheless considered mainstream films ( they all had mainstream casts and crews , and premiered in mainstream cinemas ) . The last of these films , Agent 69 Jensen i Skyttens tegn , was made in 1978 . From the end of the 1970s until the late 1990s it was rare to see hardcore scenes in mainstream cinema , but this changed with the success of Lars von Trier 's The Idiots ( 1998 ) , which heralded a wave of art-house films with explicit content , such as Romance ( 1999 ) , Baise-moi ( 2000 ) , Intimacy ( 2001 ) , Vincent Gallo 's The Brown Bunny ( 2003 ) , and Michael Winterbottom 's 9 Songs ( 2004 ) . Some simulated sex scenes are sufficiently realistic that critics mistakenly believe that they are real , such as the cunnilingus scene in the 2006 film Red Road .

Freberg also referred to McCarthyism in the `` Declaration of Independence '' sketch , where Benjamin Franklin says , `` You ... sign a harmless petition , and forget all about it ; ten years later , you get hauled up before a committee . ''   Admirers of this album have included Steven Spielberg , Richard Dreyfuss and Paul McCartney . Dr. Demento 's listeners have repeatedly voted The United States of America as the greatest comedy album of all time .   Stan Freberg Presents The United States of America , Volume Two was planned for a release during America 's Bicentennial in 1976 , but did not emerge until 1996 . In his autobiography , Freberg detailed his efforts to have the songs and skits produced on Broadway ; when this failed , he used material omitted from the original album in the sequel .   A third volume was planned . Due to the death of Freberg 's wife , Donna , and Freberg 's personal health problems , the project was shelved .

neg: Mecklenburg State Theatre The Mecklenburg State Theatre ( Mecklenburgisches Staatstheater Schwerin ) is the principal theatre of Schwerin in Germany . Its main theatre ( or Grosses Haus ) seats 650 people and is used for the performance of plays , opera , musical theatre and ballet . Designed by Georg Daniel , it was built between 1883 and 1886 after the previous theatre had been destroyed by fire in 1882 . The theatre was inaugurated on 3 October 1886 with a performance of Gluck 's Iphigénie en Aulide with Marie Wittich in the title role . The complex also includes the State Museum in Schwerin ( Staatliche Museum Schwerin ) and a 240-seat concert hall , now used for performances of chamber works . All theatres were closed for the Autumn season of 1944 , with the staff drafted wherever possible . By German WW2 standards wartime casualties and destruction by bombing in Schwerin were small , in spite of nightly RAF raids and the droning of massive bomber pulks as silver specks on the sky during the day on their way to Berlin . Americans were the first to enter the town in the spring of 1945 , handing it over to the British until the Russians arrived . These ordered the immediate reopening of the theatre , taking great interest in light operas and operettas as an art they very much appreciated , but until then out of their reach in most parts of Stalin 's Soviet Union . Not familiar with Central European culture , one saw their well-fed ladies wearing night gowns during the invariably full houses as a substitute for an evening dress . In the immediate years to follow , there was a gradual exodus of key staff to the West , where few found equivalent employment . The ensuing vacancies provided new chances for many musicians , who were prepared to stay in East Germany to gain important positions there in their later career .

neg: Hans Refior Hans Refior was an officer in the German Army during World War II . Refior was on the staff of the last two German commanders of the `` Berlin Defense Area '' during the final assault by Soviet forces on the city of Berlin .   On 18 March 1945 , Colonel Refior became the Chief of Staff for Lieutenant General ( Generalleutnant ) Helmuth Reymann during the Battle for Berlin . Reymann was named the commander of the Berlin Defense Area on 6 March . From the beginning , it was clear to Refior that Reymann 's predecessor , General Bruno Ritter von Hauenschild , had left them nothing .   By early April , Refior and Reymann confirmed to themselves that Berlin had no chance of holding out with the forces at their disposal . They recommended to Joseph Goebbels , the Minister of Propaganda , that civilians be allowed to leave . Refior and Reyman indicated that this was especially important for the women and children . Goebbels ' feeble response made it clear to Refior and Reymann that he had never considered nor had he any idea of the logistics required for such a mass evacuation .   To determine how many soldiers and weapons could be counted on , Refior and Reymann attempted to make an accounting of what was available to them in the `` Berlin Defense Area '' . They soon discovered that the title `` Berlin Defense Area '' carried no significance . `` Berlin Defense Area '' was just another phrase , like `` Fortress '' ( Festung ) , coined by German dictator Adolf Hitler . Attempts by Refior to coordinate the defences with the field commanders of the surrounding areas of Berlin were not successful .   On 23 April , Hitler replaced Reymann with General der Artillerie Helmuth Weidling as the commander of the Berlin Defense Area . Weidling kept Refior and made him his `` civil '' Chief-of-Staff .   Early on the morning of 26 April , Refior was awoken from a brief sleep in Weidling 's headquarters , the Bendlerblock . What woke him was a rapid sequence of ranging artillery shells ( what the Soviets called `` framing '' ) . Refior noted that these were `` old frontline hares '' . He knew from experience that these were the `` greeting '' before a salvo of katyusha rockets .   Weidling remained in command of Berlin 's defences to the end . On 2 May General Weidling , Theodor von Dufving , Weidling 's `` military '' Chief-of-Staff , and other members of Weidling 's staff which included Refior , ultimately surrendered the city to Soviet General Vasily Chuikov .

neg: Fear and Misery of the Third Reich Fear and Misery of the Third Reich ( Furcht und Elend des Dritten Reiches ) , also known as The Private Life of the Master Race , is one of Bertolt Brecht 's most famous plays and the first of his openly anti-Nazi works . It premiered on May 21 , 1938 in Paris . This production was directed by Slatan Dudow and starred Helene Weigel . The production employed Brecht 's epic theatre techniques to defamiliarize the behaviour of the characters and to make explicit the play 's underlying message .   The play consists of a series of playlets , portraying National Socialist Germany of the 1930s as a land of poverty , violence , fear and pretence . Nazi antisemitism is depicted in several of the sketches , including `` the Physicist '' , `` Judicial Process '' , and `` the Jewish Wife '' .   It was followed by many more plays that were openly anti-Nazi ( Arturo Ui , etc. ) and attempted a Marxist analysis . They were written while Brecht was in exile in Denmark and were inspired by a visit to Moscow , where he experienced the growing significance of the anti-Nazi movement there .   In 1974 , the postmodern East German dramatist Heiner Müller wrote an ` answer ' to Brecht 's play , entitled The Battle : Scenes from Germany ( revised from a text first written in the early 1950s ; first theatrical production opened on 10 October 1975 at the Volksbühne ) . Tony Kushner 's 1985 play A Bright Room Called Day was also based on this play .

neg: NWA Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight Championship The NWA Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight Championship was a professional wrestling championship contested for in Jim Crockett Promotions ( JCP ) , a territory-promotion governed by the National Wrestling Alliance ( NWA ) . The title was only contestable by male individual wrestlers . Since 1974 , JCP was also known as `` Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling '' ( MACW ) , which is why all of its championships included `` Mid-Atlantic '' in their names . Being a professional wrestling championship , it was not won legitimately ; it was instead won via a scripted ending to a match or awarded to a wrestler because of a storyline . In 1970 , the championship was introduced as the NWA Eastern Heavyweight Championship during a taping of Championship WrestlingChampionship Wrestling was a television program for JCP that began airing on local WGHP television markets in 1964 . on October 13 , 1970 . It was announced that the Missouri Mauler had defeated the defending champion Pat O'Connor in New York City to win the title ; this title change was fictitious and a storyline to introduce the championship to the promotion ; nevertheless , O'Connor 's reign is denoted as the first official reign . Because it was fictitious , further information regarding O'Connor 's reign is unavailable .   On the September 6 , 1973 taping of Championship Wrestling , JCP owner Jim Crockett , Jr. announced the retirement of the NWA Eastern Heavyweight Championship and the establishment of the NWA Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight Championship ; this coincided with the rebranding of JCP as MACW . At the time of this change , Jerry Brisco was in his fourth reign as the NWA Eastern Heavyweight Champion , and as a result of never losing the title , he was recognized as the first NWA Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight Champion . Because Brisco 's fourth reign did not end , being awarded the NWA Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight Title is not counted as a new reign overall in the title 's history .

Crockett , Jr. deactivated the championship for unknown reasons , and eventually , JCP was sold to Ted Turner in 1988 . As a result , Garvin was the final wrestler to hold the NWA Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight Title . In the late 1990s , a group of promoters was given permission by the NWA to establish a territory called `` Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling ( MACW ) '' ; however , this territory has not claimed any connection to the original JCP/MACW . As a result , their prime championship , called the MACW Heavyweight Championship , has no connection to this original JCP/MACW championship .   Overall , there were 60 reigns shared between 29 wrestlers . Fifteen of those reigns occurred while the title was called the `` NWA Eastern Heavyweight Championship '' , while 46 occurred under the `` NWA Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight Championship '' name . The title had only one official Vacant , which occurred in July 1985 .
