The wardrobe malfunction didn't offend me, as I was preoccupied at the time it broke with one of my own. truth be told, it's not that they are there, it 's that folks who don't want to see them -- for whatever reason -- shouldn't have to. Morality isn't the point, taste isn't the point, floating one's boat isn't the point. The point is that he's allowed to surf at work, but not to see things that other people just might find offensive and fire him or having casually popped up on the screen. Courtesy is the point. Oh, wait -- that's about to evaporate as this thread descends into the maelstrom of the unending debate over censorship, nudity, and protecting whatsits from whosits...
thou and I, my friend, can, in the most flunkey world, make, each of us, one non-flunkey, one hero, if we like: that will be two heroes to begin with. (Carlyle)
