No, it's real. I talked to a guy that worked at Cinematronics and he said
the management was so upset they thought of stopping production.

Then some guy said essentially "Even if I squint *real* hard, I don't see
anything" and common sense prevailed.

I've been told that once you've seen the picture, it's hard not to think of
it when you see the starfield.

So does anyone have a collection of "Oui" magazines from 1980 ('81?)?

I imagine that *even* the NET is not big enough to find those pictures in
that sewage of porn out there...
