Ok, randyman77, you ask a good question and its time we consider a relaxation of the challenge rules for **this June challenge only.** The challenge rules say: This is open to all ages and viewing by family and minors. Keep it clean and keep it classy. If you push the limit and the image draws attention to the limit, you may be asked to make adjustments. **(This means what it says. Keep it tasteful. If you want to be controversial, that's probably going to be ok but if its over the top with what folks would normally see around town, its not ok. Think about what the marketeers and producers would approve for a poster. They want folks to look at the poster and go see the movie. They do not want to make a political statement with the poster and lose the revenue.)** The specific rules are: "Nudity" means the showing of the genitals, pubic area or buttocks with less than a full opaque covering, or the showing of the female breast with less than a fully opaque covering below the top of the areola line, or the depiction of covered male genitals in a discernibly turgid state. Cleavage is allowed. **(I would think that many movie posters have see through clothing and some imagery of nudity. We can be a bit more open than the above rule. Ok, if its tasteful, I'll probably let it fly. I do not want to see overgrown dual airbags or sausages in the face, so again, keep it tasteful. If you have any doubts, post and I'll get back to you or IM me and I'll respond. I wouldn't wait until the 11th hour for this though.)** "Cleavage" means that portion of the breast above the areola line and within the middle third of the chest. Cleavage may go below the top of the areola provided that it does not reveal more than the middle third of the chest. **(For the life of me, I can't imagine a B grade movie poster for a romance movie that doesn't have deep cleavage. But perhaps you can. I won't get out the tape measure on this one as long as its out of our faces and within the TOS. Again, if you are in doubt, IM or post and I'll get back to you.)** "Sexual activity" means representations or descriptions of sexual acts, normal or perverted, actual or simulated. **(I would allow heterosexual kissing for a romance poster. Homosexual kissing and poses are not often seen in movie posters so that's that. Remember, the movie is going to be where the sex is so don't give it all away on the poster.)** "Violence" means any depiction of bodily injury to a humanoid model, or any part thereof, or placing a humanoid model in threat of fear of imminent physical harm which, taken as a whole, portrays the image in a patently offensive way to the average adult applying the TOS, these definitions, and community standards. **(Well, if you want to have a gun pointed at the bad guy or a body flying from an explosion, I'll go for that. Lets stay away from the dripping blood and Hannible Lecter scene of flesh eating. Remember the other Hannible? Hannible Smith of the A-Team? Tons of bullets and no blood? I'm sure you can figure out violence without the demonic graphic dripping stuff. There's got to be a way to do a vampire or Buffy, or monster, or cowboy/war shoot-em-up scene without the hard core gore. Again, ask or IM and don't wait until the 11th hour to post if you feel your image is over the top.)**
