As part of my innovative, ground-breaking, take-no-prisoners, bourgeoisie-shocking, taboo-shattering, avant-garde crossword project, I offer here a puzzle that’s not afraid to deal with the brutal, grim, soul-deadening, filth-encrusted underside of life.  I warn you, however, that this is dark stuff, not for the faint of heart or the weak of knee.  Do you have the inner strength to endure and the aesthetic discrimination to appreciate the most advanced cultural productions of our age?  Prove it by solving, and enjoying, and praising this puzzle!
