- A nude model drew a crowd of more than 200 spectators in SW. China's Chongqing Municipality on June 18, reported the Chongqing Business Post.
- A pool hall owner in Indiana has been cited for having topless dancers in his establishment. The six women were also arrested. Now substitute the word "men" for "women" in the article and you will see how sexually biased our society is in criminalizing women's nipples.
- A Swedish meteorologist has been punished because she posed for some sexy pictures in a popular magazine. She was not even nude, only showing a little cleavage. I thought that the Swedes were more progressive in their attitudes toward nudity, apparently they are becoming regressive. On the other hand, people are allowed to swim or sunbathe naked just about anywhere in Sweden. Another writer supposes that Swedes are miserable.
- Now for more ridiculous news, the LiveJournal blog has banned photos of breastfeeding as being "inappropriate".
- Ruth Marcus writes in her latest column about the new "indecency" legislation, saying she is "sympathetic" to those who support the new laws but feels that the real first line of defense in "the multi-front war" is the parents. OK, that's fine, but the article only talks about "sexual content" and how it is on the rise in prime-time TV, and completely ignores the graphic violence that permeates broadcast television. Are people realy so stupid as to believe that the sight of a woman's nipple is more dangerous to our children than the sight of a mutilated corpse on "CSI"?
