I'd LOVE to participate in "the Village Idiot" forum. That would be just downright hilarious. Somewhat like the Three Stooges, only more so and with less smacking. As for the crucifix thing... the image that a crucifix invokes is not usually of pain and suffering but of love and compassion. This is not an especially good argument but could be the reason why it is allowed and not any of those other things (I haven't checked the TOS for myself BTW, just taking your word for it). It IS also generally considered art and not bondage (even though it's a naked guy being slowly tortured to death--don't mean any disrespect, but you have to admit that that is pretty much what it amounts to). Also, as I understand it, an image is only warned if someone complains about it. I'm not so sure that you couldn't post some of the other religious tortures (except for the rapes--that's a bit different from a crusifiction as it involves sex). As long as no one finds it offensive enough to complain about, nothing will be done about it (correct me if I'm wrong). You just have to portray it in a tasteful manner. Just my rather overlong $.02 (do I get more money for length? Or is it less?). =)
