Not many people know this, but after The Sex Pistols broke up, their mercenary and iconoclastic manager Malcolm McLaren discovered Adam Ant, pimped out Bow Wow Wow (literally, they became male prostitutes), and eventually instigated a sordid, little kiddie porn debacle.  Don't believe me? You can read all about it in this book.

And it looks like McLaren is ready to break back into the smut business. He's created some movies the Daily News calls "artful porn films," and they're slated to be shown at MTV's "44 1/2" theater on Broadway between 44th and 45th Streets.

Apparently "artsy" means a combination of Marcel Duchamp, Joy Division, and the Captain and Tenille. The weirdest part of all? MTV isn't allowing any genitals in the show. And what's porn without those?

Since I clearly don't get it, listen to McLaren explain:

"I've cut up pieces of old stag movies, slowed them way down, and set them to music....What you see is not people having sex but people about to have it. The old movies had a lot more foreplay. I was interested in the body language of nonactors, how they communicated their longing."
