Clash, Stegman and Bllcks

HI all, I noticed in this film that in the toilet scene there is some graffiti on the wall which reads "Bollocks" - I always thought that this word basicaly didn't exist in America, does it? Or is it simply because of the Sex Pistols album?

Secondly, I noticed that the fat guy has "Clash" written on his jacket - is this as in the band The Clash or just a random "violent" word? I would guess that along with the above it might be a reference, but I just found it ironic that The Clash themselves fought hard against this type of fascist violence. Has anybody heard if The Clash know about this?

And lastly I just wondered if anybody else couldn't look at Stegman without thinking of Alex Winters in Bill & Ted.

I'd love to answer your questions but I'm a little unsure myself. I did notice the word 'bollock's on the bathroom wall and think the same thing though, I always thought it was British-invented slang for nads! I can't think of a single occasion when I've heard an American use the term.....

Yeah, I remember the big skinhead with the Clash t-shirt. Too funny... this guy is very un-Clash. Jesus I love this movie.
