Good thing those pesky artworks are hidden from kids. God knows what would happen if a kid saw a bare breast. My guess is on spontaneous explosion.

so fucking archaic.

it's art. in fact, forget that. it's the human body. the longer we let fuddy-duddies censor depictions of the naked form, the longer we have problems.

i'll be showing my kids (if i ever have any) artistic recreations of the human body as soon as i can. let's stop being so fucking prudish about the skin we live in. as the last guy says, "it's absurd".

This is disgusting. This news story is disgusting (blurring out the breasts on classic sculptures, for pete's sake!).

Stop treating the human body as ANYTHING to be ashamed of. NUDITY should NEVER be considered obscene. NUDITY in and of itself, the showing of the body IS NOT and SHOULD NOT be treated as wrong in any way.

You can DO things with naked bodies that can be considered obscene. If you strip off in the middle of a mall and have sex, that's inappropriate, there's a time and a place for that, and I wouldn't want my kids watching two adults going at it like that. BUT, have a man and a woman just walking naked through the mall, doing nothing sexual, just being nude... that's fine by me.

These paintings and sculptures are of the naked form, not of gratuitous sexual acts.

Pixelating the art in the news story... blooooodyyyy hell.

This is somewhat ironic considering a woman depicted in a piece of art generaly has to be nude or close to it to to even make onto a wall for general viewing in a museum. So in other words a woman can't even make it into a museum unless shes naked yet if she is it is considered obscene.
I don't remember off hand who did the study/survey but there was a group that went to numerous major museums in the New York area to take a tally of how many women were represented in art in museums. They then counted how many of these women were nude or partly so. As I remember the vast majority were naked. I think it was the Guerrilla Girls but I'm not certain.

Whomever is leading this "fight against obscenity" conservative or not, they have no respect for art and a complete misunderstanding of what free speech really entails.

It's not porn until we take it in as porn.

That being said, you can take anything and turn it into filth.

Washington monument is a giant erect penis. The liberty bell is a big condom with a little rip. The lady justice of the supreme court suggests S & M, etc etc.

I thought about taking my kids to that "Bodies" exhibition, but I was afraid they would have years of nightmares because of that. You can´t be more naked than without skin. If there is skin, I´m fine taking them there.

Why is the phrase "you can't legislate morality" only used in the defense of activities that aren't actually immoral, but are under attack by silly religious groups? (i.e., sex, abortion, nudity, free speech)

You can legislate morality. Most laws are derived from a subset of morality. However many people have such a backwards definition of morality that it becomes convenient to separate the two.

Morality, like a just system of laws, is a code of conduct whose adherence tends to promote the common good and prevent people from harming each other, without any superfluous infringement on the freedom of individuals nor asymmetry among the rights of people. Good legal systems are enforceable subsets of such moral imperatives, plus accessories to their implementation such as the collection of taxes, and public works whose service to the common good goes above and beyond any moral imperative.

Next things next, let's get rid of pesky anatomy text books! Oh, and doctors. After all, urologists and OB/GYN's are exposed to sickening pornography every day...

After that, we'll be bringing in a plan to lop off every dick and tit, and concrete over the vag for all humanity to ensure such filth can never ever hurt the children again...

Seriously, these wankers legislating morality shouldn't be allowed to breed. That way they'll never accidentally endanger their children...

They're not legislating morality, they're legislating bronze age myths that have dubiously been labeled as morality.

Reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Marge goes on a crusade against porn but then is confronted by the hypocrisy of her zeal when Michelangelo's David fit's the same definition.

I remember a kindergarden teachers comment about field trips to the museum - the tykes will oggle the appendages of a Venus or David for a few seconds then move on to the far more interesting dinosaur exhibit.
