Jezebel Lashes Out at Aussie Prime Minister

More and more common sense views are beginning to emerge on the Art Monthly Australia cover photo. Megan Carpentier at Jezebel is livid:
Look, yes, you can see her nipple, yes, she's naked. Is every naked child now a fucking sex symbol because there are a small minority of sick, sick people in the world who view children as objects of sexual gratification? Is telling Olympia (who's now eleven and thinks that Rudd's an offensive jerk) that she's disgusting the right message to send a child (or a nation of children)? Is nudity always sexual? Do we start covering toddlers on the beach, or can we wait until they can talk even if they don't yet have secondary sex characteristics? Are you going to go arrest my parents for the pictures of me in the bathtub?
