Longest Running Thread EVER

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER

 

You said it was Obscenity laws and that was what I was disagreeing with.

We do have laws that prevent under 18s buying magazines like Playboy but newspapers are different. There are other things I would like restrained by the press but it is difficult if not impossible to get someone to do it without the press pillorying them for it.

I do not believe that it would be possible to pass a law preventing the sale of a newspaper with nude women in it. Does it make me happy ? No.

But do I think it is acceptable that kids can see this in something that is meant for a family (a newspaper) ? No.

I believe that it can implant in kids the idea that it is acceptable for women to be seen topless anywhere which is manifestly untrue. The newspaper is exploiting the girls and its own readership in this. Morally I find it wrong but there's no legal way to stop them.

Yes, but why isn't it acceptable for women to be seen topless?

Why are 'nudity' and 'pornography' and 'obscenity' all considered to be the same thing?

Why do we want to teach our children that their bodies are shameful, but that violence is entertainment?

As Henry Miller said (IIRC), 'the only real obscenity is war'...

I just looked at it again, My wife and I agree that it is heavily photo-shopped. I think the Bikinis are added in, actually. The faces may be cut and pastes too.

 

The girl with the bat has an odd looking face. I mean that. Odd.
