I overheard my mother and father fighting the other day because my mom walked in on my dad watching a "snuff film." What is that?
CURIOUSITY SNUFFED THE CAT

I believe I'm well suited to answer this query. A snuff film is the greatest genre of film, ever. Among my many fames (singer, songwriter, model, barbeque sauce mogul) is a lead acting role in many of the most famous snuff films. Some of my greatest roles are in the films 'The Trouble With Girls (is Life);' 'No Viva Las Vegas;' 'Live a Little, Snuff a Little;' 'Harum Snuffum;' 'Love Me Snuffder;' and 'T. Ledoyt: Life of a Real Man.' A snuff film is considered a lost genre of film because there are so few actors and actresses left that it is mainly an underground activity rarely funded by studios leaving the producers and actors with a small budget.

Your mom is likely upset by the supposed poor treatment of women in these films as its roots lie in the late 19th Century where women were seen as male property and lesser beings. This is simply not true. It is impossible to see these as anything other than a celebration of life as it is a fleeting and wonderous thing. Women tend to view snuff in its base understanding as degrading and horrific when, in fact, modern snuff has traveled far from its beginnings and has evolved into an artform. The modern snuff film is tasteful and prodigious in its portrayals and continues to push the limits of what should be acceptable in society. It is a genre, mind you, but is more of a progressive movement of mankind towards the ultimate goal of happiness.

Your mother should not be mad at your father, she should be supportive and, even, gleeful that he chooses to be a part of the betterment of what can be seen as a sometimes cynical world. Tell your father that you want to be a part of his activities, a part of the snuff movement, and a part of a better life.
