but seriously, here is yet another example of how people are completely controlled because they have chosen to believe, without question, what some “authority” has told them.
“Yes, I’m a 21st Century man, but I let someone else do my thinking for me when it comes to categories C, E, and F.”
My cousin did a long stint as a nurse in Saudi and told us with pride that on her last day in the country she was approached by one of these people in a shop who snapped cover your hair so she said cover your arse and walked out.
Aren’t there laws against showing female breasts on prime time tv? I realize it’s a distorted picture, but it’s still female breasts.
Prude or pure? If I’m trying not to give in to lust, is showing a picture of bare breasts helpful? This picture isn’t very provocative, but 99% of all men could look at that and within 3 seconds be thinking of something that IS very provocative due to one thought leading to another.
If you think it’s wrong to put a beer/drugs in front of an alcoholic/“user” trying to stay sober/clean, why do you think it’s ok to put bare breasts in front of someone trying to stay sexually pure (mentally and otherwise)?
I get this is cartoonish, but how realistic is acceptable? Animae (sp?)? Actual cartoons? Real women topless if it’s blurred?
“angry, fear-obsessed viewership”? That’s an inaccurate generalization.
Your cousin is the awesomesauce! I heard stories about the mutawa whacking people across the back of the knees with their truncheons for things like leaving a pendant of the Xtian cross exposed (if worn as a necklace). They were a big part of my culture shock–you mean there are people who will smack you with a truncheon for not practicing the religion properly?!?-- and have only served to harden me against religious requirements of any kind. Feel free to tell me to do/not do something because of religion, but also be prepared for a swift and hearty fuck you.
You are not sexually pure. Your mind is filthy and corrupt.
Two monks were on a pilgrimage. One day, they came to a deep river. At the edge of the river, a young woman sat weeping, because she was afraid to cross the river without help. She begged the two monks to help her. The younger monk turned his back. The members of their order were forbidden to touch a woman. But the older monk picked up the woman without a word and carried her across the river. He put her down on the far side and continued his journey. The younger monk came after him, scolding him and berating him for breaking his vows. He went on this way for a long time. Finally, at the end of the day the older monk turned to the younger one. “I only carried her across the river. You have been carrying her all day.”
In my opinion blurring out the breasts/ nipples just draws added attention to the idea they’re there. Also it’s a Picasso, apart from the depiction on the far left it’d be easy to overlook that they’re supposed to be breasts at all and not just a collection of geometric shapes.
Come on. These are highly abstract geometric art “breasts”. I can get a boner looking at women’s clothing store mannequins with nipples (seriously why), but this?
Your weird fetish for sexual shame doesn’t require everyone else to go out of their way to shield you from all forms of sexuality.
What is sexual purity anyway? If you have issues with lust, why don’t you just jack off? That always solves any problems I have with lust.
Or, if you mean that you can’t allow yourself to have any sexual thoughts, then firstly I pity you, and secondly you will never succeed and anyone who claims to have succeeded is lying through their teeth to you. Unless they were asexual already, a eunuch, or using drugs like prozac.
This Femmes d’ Alger thing is nothing, really. In the Olympia museum in Greece, they host this naked guy made by some filth sculptor, holding -not less- a naked infant boy… Everybody can imagine what was in Praxiteles’ mind… Kids visit the museum and can see the unblurred penis and testicles… Brrrrr…
