Few shows are as outrageously raucous as "The Boys" on Amazon Prime Video. The third season of the gritty superhero show is airing now, and already it's scarred fans with imagery of an exploding penis and the highly anticipated Herogasm event. Based on a fan-favorite arc of "The Boys" comics, "Herogasm" saw various groups going to an orgy for C-list Supes, complete with a mile-long male member, sex toys manipulated in various creative ways, a touch of bestiality, and a whole lot of other things I'd get in trouble for writing down here.
Speaking of getting in trouble, it turns out "The Boys" was partially responsible for Amazon forming a Standards & Practice division to make sure no lines were crossed. Standards & Practices keeps an eye on productions to ensure everything stays in line; the S&P department at Disney, for example, is pretty notorious for putting restrictions on projects to fit its family-friendly image. Amazon never had one of these departments in the past . . . and then along came "The Boys."
