Viewers in Asia saw a censored version of the Oscars after television chiefs removed gay references from Sean Penn's best actor speech.

The STAR satellite channel, which broadcasts to more than 300 million viewers in 53 countries, also cut the sound when Dustin Lane Black, who wrote the screenplay for Penn's film, Milk, addressed "all the gay and lesbian kids". Milk is the story of Californian gay rights activist Harvey Milk. Both Penn and Black backed gay marriage in their speeches and called for equal rights for homosexuals. Penn opened by calling the audience "commie, homo-loving sons of guns".

Gay Asians voiced their anger at the broadcaster, which censored its evening telecasts of the awards ceremony.

Users of Internet forums in Singapore and India also complained about the censored speeches.

Jannie Poon, STAR's Hong Kong-based spokeswoman, stressed that the company had no intention of upsetting any viewers, but said it has "a responsibility to take the sensitivities and guidelines of all our markets into consideration."

Gerard Damiano, director of the pioneering porn film that lent its name to the Watergate scandal whistle-blower known as Deep Throat, has died Saturday at a Fort Myers hospital.

Damiano's Deep Throat was a mainstream box-office success and helped launch the modern hardcore adult-entertainment industry. Shot in six days for just $25,000, the 1972 flick became a cultural must-see for Americans who had just lived through the sexual liberation of the 1960s.

The film's title also became associated with one of the most famous anonymous sources in journalism. While investigating the Watergate scandal, reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein used it as a nickname for their source, former FBI official W. Mark Felt.

Born in New York in 1928, Damiano worked as a hairdresser, spent time in the Navy and directed several adult films.

After Deep Throat opened in Times Square, attention from media critics and outraged conservatives — including repeated legal challenges — helped turn it into a hit.

The Barcelona Sex Project, based on an idea by Erika Lust (author of the equally sexy Five Hot Stories), is a feminist adult movie, created for women by women, that discloses the private lives and sexuality of six individuals. The project is based on the conviction that women desire to know a person’s inner character (their beliefs, their character, their feelings, fears and passions) before becoming drawn to them on a sexually intimate level.
