Hi, Chris, I must say, I must have taken the penis shot out of context. I didn't realize that it was being contrasted with gory, violent shots. Maybe I just saw it, and went ballistic.
Had I seen the images you refer to, I'd have been equally (if not more) bothered. I've often told friends that sexual images are no worse than some images seen on the evening news. To put a different spin on it (adding another ingredient), an emaciated, starving child from a third world country with flies all over his/her face is ~real obscenity~. regards, frank Chris Brogden wrote: > And yet it's okay to link to new photos showing death, dismemberment, and > blood?
