Yes Shaun, I remember seeing the theme and thought, 'OMG, what a insensitively dull, borderline obnoxious subject matter. HOW DARE THEY!' and so I deliberately chose the most disgustingly depraved subject I could think of involving enough graphic sex and violence to give at least one of the judges the shock of her life!

I've just entered it now. But if you guys have included 'Joy' in the title I'm now paranoid that I had to have that word somewhere in the title! :/ Also, Richard, I'm glad I wasn't the only one who took a slightly twisted approach to the theme! Lol!
