I have had many appreciative comments regarding that photo over the years (it's been on mannequinmedia.com for ages) and not once did anyone bring up the fact that it's nude.

So much a sign of our times that Neanderthalean sports like boxing and wrestling (not the real wrestling) are deemed socially acceptable, yet an image depicting a nude body (or, in my case, a nude plastic mannequin) is not. When I was a teenager walking to high-school, every day I passed a bronze life-size statue of a nude, young girl. I admired that statue, but in all the times I passed it, not once do I recall thinking anything other than for it's beauty and I'm sure most intact other people didn't either – I would suggest that those who behold such depictions of the human body and whose thoughts immediately turn to sex have some serious issues to deal with and should maybe seek help or return to skinning rabbits, tracking UFO's and lying prostate at the feet of George 'W'.

For those intelligent enough to understand the difference, beware of what's going on out there, things are changing for the worse. Social evils should not be confused with the pursuit of true beauty.

My high-school was in Switzerland, not in my home country of Canada. Not sure what would happen here in Canada today: if it were an old statue, it would probably be deemed art, if new, maybe pornography.

Somebody please help us all
