An image of a nude statue made 2 thousand years ago

or people bluring out the "bits" in the images,

personally I dont get it, we all have bits why distort great art because some fools think its rude or something??

is it political correctness or like the evolution vs creation thing?? ------ just another example of old people decided for us whats ok and whats not instead of letting "people" decide for themselves??

comments...its personal for me because i am greek and have seen the great art works of ancient greece and the thought of people distorting them makes me sick........really whats the issue, some sickos find it pornographic or something??

your comments??

For the majority of the judeo-christian community, they practice a version "if its fun, interesting, enlightening, etc..." it must be evil. Society seems to feel a need to feel guilty about anything "human".

And, they feel a need to make the rest of follow in lockstep....

Or else.

It seems when a subject like this comes up the immediate response of the mob is to cry "religion", yet a simple look into the history of these works refutes that cry. The majority of your Greek statues had the theme of religion. Temples were adorned with the likeness of the gods and goddesses in various sates of undress. One has only to look at the famous statue David and see where it is displayed and who commissioned it to chuckle at such remarks. The majority of early art works come to us through the benevolence of "religion".

Were I looking for a scapegoat I think I would suspect the growth of the power of Psychology telling us that viewing nude art would incite our children to become rapist and adults to become pedophiles.

If it's just an image and not the actual statue, than none of the above.

If you don't like the blur, then find a picture w/o a blur. People are entitled to not having to see that particular area if they don't want to. For whatever reason.

People should have a choice. Not everyone is the same.

And it doesn't effect the real statue which is still whole and complete and uncensored for you to look at.

Ridiculous isn't it.

I'll bet that the people who think the human body whether in art or nature is disgusting, are the first people to use "religion" to back up their anally retentive attitudes to life in general.

Their hearts are ugly, so they think everything else is ugly too.

Just feel sorry for them and then look at the beautiful artworks again in all their natural glory !

Gotta feel an itsy bitsy bit sorry for the statue of David though, I think M. could have done him better justice ! hehehe :o)

I hate it when people do that to works of art....in fact I'm doing a research paper on Censorship in the Arts for english right now....
I'm glad other people agree with me.
