What is clear is that there is no end to the insanity in this world.

It all started with the decision to cover up the ass of the Coppertone Girl in the mid-90s.  There was the concern, or at least suggested, that pedophiles were encouraged by her beautiful, smooth-but-firm derriere.

LOL!  For some...any port in a storm, even if a monitor screen isn't very yielding :) 

Quote - Then there is the insanity of people who want to stop people from cupid pedophilia by banning pictures of dangerously seductive cupid/putti/cherubs.

These would be the religious fanatics and child protection groups.  And just like Schering-Plough, Renderosity falls victim to them.  I would imagine they're also held hostage to the very people who handle their purchase transactions.  If they don't like the content being purchased, they'll tell Rendo to fuck off, and that would not be a good thing for the coffers...agreed?  This happened recently to Renderotica, if I'm not mistaken.  Not that Renderotica was displaying child porn, it was for a completely different reason, but still based on the site's content.

Quote - Then there is the insanity of people who pander to the slim minority of insane people who are trying to stop people from having sex with cupids by banning pictures of dangerously exposed and all-to-pretty little cupids.  Do I have this string of associations correct?

Yes, you do.  But if you're referring to Renderosity, again, their hands are tied.  They're a business; a very, very large one as far as sites like this go, and revenue is obviously important.  And as I suggested, they're most likely held hostage by the people who handle their transactions as well as the watchdog groups who monitor sites like this.

Quote - I'm sorry, I'm convulsed with laughter over this mindlessness and can't type straight any more.  Stewart or Colbert could find some great material here.  It's great parody  material.  Maybe Robin Williams could do it justice.

Well, I suppose one could find humor in it if one were so inclined.  But don't blame Rendo, blame the whackjobs who haunt the halls.

 

"They're a business; a very, very large one as far as sites like this go"

Wait a minute, no they aren't, this is a "community". That was just established, didn't you see the special "goodie" the elives were cooking up for us all? You know the one in wich it was time for the "community" to give something back to the merchants?

ROFL.
