  Justine & Juliette
One of his earliest and most scandalous tales, "Justine, or the Misfortunes of Virtue," was quickly tackled by everyone ranging from Roger Vadim (the surprisingly timid Vice and Virtue) to Jess Franco (the surprisingly ridiculous Justine).
The basic idea is the same: two sisters, virtuous Justine (Joe Sarno softcore star Forså) and rowdy Juliette (Warburg), find themselves on the road looking for a home and part ways over their very different attitudes to life and sex.
One of the clients, Robert, talks Justine into bed but has an amateur porn filmmaking ring going on the side; of course, the two eventually intersect, with everyone finally getting it all out in the open at a swanky disco-orgy where one of the wealthiest patrons, a terminally ill millionaire (Reems), beds everything in sight.

 Juliette   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Juliette was written by the Marquis de Sade in 1798, and charts the exploits of Justine's sister.
Whilst Justine - whose tale is told in Justine, or the Misfortunes Of Virtue - was a virtuous woman who consequently encountered nothing but despair and abuse, Juliette is an amoral nymphomaniac.
Juliette is raised in a convent, but at the age of 13 she is seduced by a woman who immediately explains that morality, religion and other such concepts are meaningless.

 The Good Girl
Justine (Jennifer Aniston) is bored with her 7 year marriage to pothead housepainter Phil (John C. Reilly, "The Perfect Storm") and her numbing job behind the cosmetics counter at the Retail Rodeo in a small Texas town.
Justine convinces herself she's striking up a friendship with the interesting, 8 year younger, troubled Holden based on their shared hatred of the world, but clearly there's an attraction - one that blinds her to the obvious trouble this man-child will bring.
Zooey Deschanel as Justine's cosmetic counter coworker Cheryl is the subversive of the store, always doing her best to shock the shoppers, whether over the loud speaker with her editorialized what's-on-sale announcements or with her clients at the counter.

 A brief account of the life of the Marquis de Sade
The novel "Justine" was massively enlarged and published in 1797 as "The History of Justine, or The Misfortunes of Virtue, and of Juliette Her Sister, or The Prosperities of Vice".
Whereas Justine follows the path of goodness and honesty and is punished for it by the social order, her sister Juliette leads a life of crime: of theft and murder, and amasses a gigantic fortune, hob-nobbing with the masters of society.
Justine's reward for a life of honest toil and misery is death from lightning (expressing "God's" contempt for those who swallow the lies peddled by his clergy to the poor), while Juliette, who continues to prosper, desecrates her sister's corpse in a wild orgy with her millionaire accomplices.

 The Misfortunes of Virtue - TvWiki, the free encyclopedia
The Misfortunes of Virtue (original French title Les infortunes de la vertu) was an early work by the Marquis de Sade, written in two weeks in 1787 while imprisoned in the Bastille.
For example, she seeks refuge and confession in a monastery, but is forced to become a sex-slave to the monks, who subject her to countless orgies, rapes and other abuses.
May you...be persuaded that true happiness lies in virtue alone and that, though God allows goodness to be persecuted on earth, it is with no other end than to prepare us for a better reward in heaven.

 Pamela Virtue Rewarded Essays - Pamela, or Virtue Rewarded - Sexuality and the Morally Didactic Novel
The radical stance of even using phrases such as virtue and 'fortune' to denote Pamela's virginity are themselves loaded with a questioning of the social stratification in which she resides.
Rather than placing the prevention of exploitation in the virtue of the weak and the immorality of the strong (an equation equally absurd to class and economic structure in any century, and the central criticism of Pamela), Sade invokes social controls, lest we release the sadistic demons he presents in his later dungeons.
Justine is woman as she has been hitherto, enslaved, miserable and less than human; her opposite, Juliette represents the woman whose advent he anticipated, a figure of whom minds have as yet no conception, who is arising out of mankind, who shall have wings and who shall renew the world.

It isn't the kind of novel where you're going to be horrified if I give away the ending, but I think the climax (oh, I said climax!) is proof enough that the author's tongue (I said tongue!) is firmly in his cheek.
Given that he was locked up when he wrote 'Justine', his cheek was probably the only place he would be allowed to put his tongue.
