Well, having seen a render with nekkid milbabies recently in the gallery made me wonder how long it was going to be in there before it'll be yanked lol.
The render was very well done, but that never figures into things. I don't remember whose it was, nor would I post it if I did, because it doesn't bother me.

I often think that this 'omg kiddie pron alert' mentality is going seriously overboard these days. I know of a guy who tried out a camera and filmed his toddler son splashing around in a kiddie pool - and accidentally put the wrong tape in the camera when he sent the camera back. (the son's tape instead of the blank one he'd meant to put in) He called the company to get the tape - next thing he knew he got accused of distributing child porn... I mean come ON now...
Yes, I know we have a duty to protect children, but quite frankly, seeing a sex offender at every corner is ridiculous.
It's like playing an online videogame and being told "Watch what you say there may be children around".
I mean, excuse me, but any parent letting their kids - of any age - play such a game unsupervised has absolutely no right to complain about language or behavior that kid is exposed to. What's more... 99.9% of the time it's the kid instigating it. Heck, I was told once "my 4 year old plays a warrior" and my reply was 'What the HELL is a 4 year old doing anywhere near a computer?" A 4 year old should be out, playing in a sandbox or something.

Sorry, but the whole thing just annoys me, because the people who let a 4 year old play games like Everquest or WoW are usually the very same ones who scream bloody murder at anything that might show a nipple. Or God forbid, the face has big eyes and looks kiddie like.

Yes, I think it has gone overboard and it's getting worse.

I mean... no nudity. Ok.
Don't ever let your kids go to Firenze then. They might clap eyes on Michelangelo's Allegoria. Or God forbid you go to Powis Castle in Wales where you might gaze upon Cavaceppi's "Boy holding Dove".

Not to mention... Cherubs... are... freaking EVERYWHERE at Christmas time.

I think that Cavaceppi feller should be investigated. That child is naked, after all.
cough
Seriously, I think sometimes paranoia sets in.
No, I don't condone kiddie porn. I also don't think people post that kind of stuff here. Something tells me those who want that kind of stuff would know where to find the real thing anyway and wouldn't bother with scanning Rendo Galleries.
Heck, if you want pictures of naked girls - there's no shortage of those on the Net, lets face it.

Sorry, I'm just sick of having to scrutinize everything we do these days so we don't offend anyone. If it's a case of changing art to avoid offending anyone, we offend and censor our inner artist most of all and the resulting piece isn't what it had been intended to be.
I'd just love to see somone tell Michelangelo that naked breasts and "Free Willies" are offensive. :)
David would never be the same, poor feller....
