The Finest Home Movies That You Have Ever Seen (Not)
Elvis Costello's song "Less Than Zero" was inspired by seeing notorious British fascist Oswald Mosley on television. Costello himself said that the song, with its dark hints of sickness and perversion, was "more of a slandering fantasy than a reasoned argument"; however, here we are years later, and Mosley's son Max has apparently been caught on film in a "sick Nazi orgy with 5 hookers" replete with bondage, whippings, concentration-camp-commandant roleplaying, etc. Irony or prescience? You make the call.
