[Tango-L] The Show-Tango Crime

[Nina Pesochinsky]

How about producing a show called "Tango Crimes" and showing it 
everywhere (sort of like in "Hamlet")?  But make sure that you search 
your audience for daggers and poison, because there is no ridicule 
greater than seeing oneself reflected on stage.

But that would be too cruel.  They don't deserve it.  They don't know 
how stupid they look.  So what is a better way to show it in a gentle 
way that brings results?
