Why is showing nudity considered "Foul" or "Porn"? The people who consider it as such are more so children than the ones they deem themselves the protectors off. As a freind stated to me a few minitues ago, if someone is going to sit and laugh like Beavis and ButtHead fair enough, keep them away. Otherwise anyone has the right to view "Works of Art". Luis Royo, almost every picture he makes depicts the magnificence and beauty of the human body, usually the female. He is to put simpley a genious, yet I have never once heard anyone call his work porn. Naked Art is all around us, we go in the streets and see statues, huge, ancient... magnificient peices of stone which have withstood the tests of time. They depict nakedness, but you don't see people covering there childrens eyes to hide them. You don't see a big box with a door way covering them, with a sign saying, "Over 18's only". Famous art gallerys the world over, filled with work that spans hundreds of years. Work once more depicting naked scenes. People wish to capture the beauty of mankind it its naturall state, we put clothes on ourselves. Please don't try to clothe other peoples minds and opinions. Art is Art, there is a large gap between Art and Porn; I find it sad that so few today can see this. Anyhow, that's me done for now.
