Oh, and Nilla ... the guy posted the picture of the statue with a bloody stump where the penis should be because the statue had been vandalized in the park. As he mentioned, there was no post work done. That's the way the statue is -- defaced by someone -- and that's sad. Was the man depicted in a state of arousal? No, it's a classical style statue of a nude man an child. Even if the statue was whole and not defaced, I think the photo would be allowed. I have no idea why the guy posted it. I don't see anything from his comment that tells me he is protesting his lack of freedom of expression. I do see a protest that this sort of vandalism should occur. But then, that takes me back to the whole "freedom of expression" arguement. The person who created the statue was expressing his or herself. But then, so was the person who vandalized it and hacked the penis off. If we're going for real freedom of expression (and I mean in the world -- not here at Renderosity) then the vandalism should not be considered a criminal act. It is simply because there are limits on self expression all over the place.

Could be worse, could be raining.
