An apology

In the U.S.A., this same concept was once part of 'codes' which applied to motion pictures and even comic books, the "bad guys" always had to lose in the end. (That's why the evil girl was electrocuted by a lightning bolt at the end of the 1950s film, "The Bad Seed," even though in the earlier stage play she simply was left free to continue her reign of murder.)

Numerous Library comments on stories featuring unfair spankings call for the characters causing such 'injustices' to receive their comeuppances (generally via being subjected to CP themselves) in future accounts, however of course that doesn't always happen.

Personally, I don't mind spanking stories which deal with serious controversial issues, a person can always stop reading if he/she starts to feel uncomfortable with the subject matter... --C.K.

My favorite part of the Bad Seed was the post story spanking of the girl. It implies if her mother had not been so permissive perhaps no one would’ve been killed. That both the women and child actresses had such obvious fun filming it made it very fun for me.

That spanking, and the rest of the curtain calls, was carried over from the play.

If the girl really was spanked at each performance her bottom must have been black and blue. I did read that for the off-Broadway production, Permission (see links below) that featured domestic punishment the recipients were allowed to wear padding.

I'm shocked. How can a serious actor even consider that? It deprives you of the possibility to really sink into the role, blend with the character you're impersonating and act naturally, which is the ultimate goal of every self-respecting actor. Any responsible actor would have bared her bum for a toasting. How can I get in touch with the union? This must be brought up and new regulations put into effect, preventing any further disgraces of this kind.
