Quote - recently a picture was removed for child nudity when only the head and arms and legs could be seen and it was a nativity picture simply taken way way to far , and as for when they get there thats bull this picture was removed with hours
Uh, so it had a naked head, arms and legs, and nothing else was visible, but the Magisterium was able to determine that it was a naked child and therefore to be cast into outer darkness? My surprise and dismay would be feigned.
I'm not going to track back who said, "In 3D, if it looks like a child, it is a child," but that is without question the silliest assertion I've heard all week. The entire function of art is to make things that look like something else (but, except in the eyes of total lunatics and determined Puritans, demonstrably are not). A statue of Johnnie Depp, I regret to report, is not Johnnie Depp, not even in "3D." And a drawing of Marilyn Monroe, regretably, isn't either.
