- <p> You may not know him, but Madonna, Martin Scorsese,
- Saturday Night Live and other targets of his rage know The Rev.
- Donald Wildmon all too well. Wildmon is waging a one-man jihad
- against whatever music, TV, movies, books or art violates his
- sensitivities toward sex and blasphemy. His latest target:
- Damned in the USA, a British documentary on--ironically--censorship, which features both the Reverend himself and shots
- of several artworks he opposes. Wildmon is suing director Paul
- Yule to stop Stateside showings of the movie, claiming a
- contractual right to approve any use of his interview other than
- an initial British TV broadcast. "He is trying to suppress this
- film," says Yule, who is suing back. The case could go to trial
- in May. Wildmon won't comment. Says his lawyer: "This whole case
- is the result of him speaking to the media."
