{Why is it that anyone who chooses not to view nudity is labeled a prude or prig?} What about people who see nudity when they're not expecting to, such as when children are present. Or what if they're viewing this site from work (during a lunch break) and a co-worker comes up and sees the "SEX" or lingerie banner? Or how about this argument: An artist can't afford his own website, so he uses his gallery on Renderosity as his "portfolio" to show potential clients, friends, and family members. He put the link into his e-mails and tells his grandmother to go check out his artwork. She clicks the link to his gallery and sees the above-mentioned "SEX" banner. She didn't sign up to be a member, she didn't even read any disclaimers that there would be "adult material"- she just clicked a link that her grandson gave her. So, instead of seeing the artwork, she is suprised that her grandson would post to a site that would have such ads. What then? However, there is a way to block the banners on the top of the page within your own browser (that doesn't "interfere with the normal operations of the site") by using certain "ad-subtracting" software. But, I digress also...
