Well said Humbabella- its easy for our personal tastes to color our
feelings about such topics… I had an overall negative reaction to the
video, thus its easy for me to argue that everything about it is bad. I
think my main objection to the piece is actually says more about my own
personal problem with Sean Lennon and his 26 year old model
girlfriend/bandmate. That problem is called jealousy 
I know what you mean about the nudity receiving special treatment in the
US. I also tend to personally believe nakedness is “no big deal”- I spent
years in art school painting from the nude model and became pretty well
desensitized to it… Naked people are great! But art school also taught me
what real nakedness looks like and how it is transformed by the art form
that reproduces it. Nudity is always political, and when it is in popular
media, or used to sell something there’s no way around talking about it.
