I think a better analogy would be paintings in galleries which depict under 18s, many of which could be considered "Images depicting erotic posing with no sexual activity". I am thinking of some of the paintings of Caravaggio, almost any depiction of Ganymede etc. In these and the album cover in question, the intention was artistic. While I personally don't believe this cover is comparable in quality to the old masters, it cannot be right that an unaccountable self-appointed guardian of our morality, should deny me and millions of others the right to decide on its artistic merits for ourselves. -- James Hardy MrWeeble
