Saving children from pornography...

[ArenaBoy]

My parents neighborhood would have get-togethers at someone's house. One house contained a painting depicting a topless blue skin woman. Had no effect on me but it was an interesting painting. Then I also got flashed by the Mona Lisa (Monty Python's Complete Waste of Time, a VERY old computer program; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_P..._Waste_of_Time) and granted it was quite funny to see at the time. Look at all the nudity in art museums but if they see a *gasp* photo of a naked body then all hell breaks loose.

2. Women, when in a public place, must wear clothes that cover all the "erotic parts of their body that will tempt men into sin

Oh please, like guys need us to be tempted into sin. We don't control hormones or reactions. I was taught that everyone had free will, temptation does not lead to bad behaviour on it's own. And that goes for us with the breasts to.
Sometimes I think we're deluding ourselves into thinking that personal responsibility is a common trait.

Well the picture certainly isn't going to HURT anyone or drive them to become a prostitute..... but I don't think I'd be really comfortable with those pictures in a children's book.

Are you comfortable with Where's Waldo?

there's nudity even in this small scan.
There was always boobies in the books. Oddly, our generation turned out mostly ok.

I bet it was the fact that the penis in question was depicted as being so small that pissed the censors off the most.

Seriously.

I don't think I would have even noticed the peener and the boobies if that lady hadn't drawn attention to them.

I know I didn't notice them until the article mentioned it....I mean seriously, getting worked up over a willy that most people wouldn't even be able to see?
