Heh. Nudity, like obscenity, lacks an objective definition. However. It doesn't take a mental giant to figure out if a particular image is likely to strike the community that you have been interacting with as "nude." I'll admit there are borderline cases. I also strongly believe, however, that the "borderline" is mostly populated by people who damn well know better and who are trying constantly to push the line just to attract attention to themselves. Okay. I do admit to there being a hidden truth here. The gallery is not just a place where people post what they've created so other people can enjoy it. It is a place where people fight tooth-and-nail for coveted votes into "most viewed" and Hot 20. I can understand why the people who are trying desperately to be this week's Hot Thing don't want to do ANYTHING that might lessen the number of people who view their creation. That also is the driving force that makes the banner ads for certain products push the borders whenever and wherever they can. Oh, and yeah -- the American workplace is full of hypocrites. But you are going to save the day by sneaking nudie pics onto the computer of some unsuspecting lunch-time browser? Riiiight. You might cost a job, but you ain't saving the world, not that way. Stand up and fight the good fight where you might actually get heard.
