No, my objection is the OVERLOAD of "vacuous pin-ups". No one's daring to take even a baby step outside that very narrow little circle, and everything -- from the users to the merchants -- pander straight to it. So what do we get? Lots and lots and lots of the same damn thing. Frankly, on one level, I agree with you. On another level -- that's what sells. Look at the views for gallery "pin-ups" vs. the gallery views for beautiful landscapes. Depends on one's purpose, I would say. Does one want to be popular, or does one want to create "high art"? If I was a merchant, I would want to sell.
