It's not a slump.  It's not a block.  It's akin to a field lying fallow and it's part of the normal cycle of creativity, just like normal respiration, breathing in and breathing out.  It doesn't mean that nothing is going on when we are not in a fever of production with external proof of ourselves every day and hour.  Sometimes we are actually gestating quetly, without activity and that blank feeling is actually part of the creative state. Accepting it is important.

Creativity has seasons of development and dormancy just like the phsyical world.  I used to mistake that apparent dormancy for depression and assume that nothing was happening but that was just a problem of vanity/narcissism on my part, an inability to let myself sit and be receptive and even accept some moments of . . .gasp . . .boredom . . .so that something new might come into the empty space.

I now embrace those blank spaces I used to consider "down" periods and just sit with my thumb in my mouth, staring into the middle distance as long as necessary stroking my dogs or some such thing. . . and I find they are inevitably followed by the most amazing reawakenings and powerful, prolific, productive periods.

I call these period Lying Fallow.  All fertile fields need fallow periods for a full harvest.

That kitty is too exposed and this could be a liability for Renderosity.  It could promote . . . um . . .er. . .kitophilia.  It could provoke . . .something.  You MUST put clothing on that kitty or remove the image at once!

I believe the issue is solved for Renderosity, Miss Nancy.  All this these comments are simply our own rantings and there's nothing for Renderosity to address. Mindlessness, once established, is immovable.

I only wanted to  point my finger and guffaw for the entertainment value (to myself).  Public recognition of mindlessness still has a value to me but that has nothing to do with getting Renderosity to do or say or change anything. 

"But don't blame Rendo, blame the whackjobs who haunt the halls." 

Blame has nothing to do with this. Staying conscious enough to mark what is happening in front of your face is more to the point. 

I fully understand that this is a socio-economic-political issue in a teapot. I totally "get it" that radical, reactionary, theocratic right wing influences have invaded economic and political institutions, with the full cooperation of the private sector of the economy and the general public - who naturally surrender to the economic bottom line. 

But I just call 'em as I see 'em.  No offense intended.  Somebody told me my cupids wouldn't pass testing here at Rendo and I didn't believe it was possible, so I read the entire thread to convince myself that such a thing was really possible.  I'm not a "community member", just a vendor who has other irons in the fire, so I don't follow these Threads of Mindlessness very closely.  In spite of all the other products in my store, something this ridiculous was surprising to me. 

There are good reasons why people make seemingly hyperbolic references to Nazi Germany when discussing silly things like this. It only seems like a far out allusion, LOL. The truth is, this is exactly how common sense is gradually eroded and before you know it, credit card companies are dictating a broad range of social influences and are in turn being controlled by a radical right wing agenda. And companies like Renderosity are just trying to survive in the pretense of a freemarket economy, when they are in reality being manipulated in a highly controlled economy and political system. Yes, I get that. 

Hide images of rosy, chubby little baby bodies, but send your tax money to build a million cluster bombs to rain on children.  Yep, that sure makes sense, har de har har!  This is what this country has come to. No blame to Renderosity, they are in the Mainstream of Mindlessness in which we are all swimming for our lives.

The attraction of mindlessness is very subtle . . .usually it takes brilliant but bitter comedians to notice when it's happening right in front of an entire nation. Cultivating body shame by labelling nude images of cupids - or children - as somehow dangerous . . .this is all part of the broader culture of fear which justifies a whole lotta mindless crap which we really should be afraid of. And I am. That is to say, I am not afraid of nudity but I'm really afraid of mindlessness like this. And I'm appropriately afraid of businesses and organizations which embrace mindlessness because . . .because . . .well just because they gotta do it to stay alive as an organization. A mindless organization's gotta do what a mindless organization's gotta do.  That's a classic danger sign for everybody.

Oh well, gotta go figure out some stuff to make money.  I hope I haven't said anything offensive . . .but I sure wish I could be John Stewart when I grow up. 

Oh that's clear all right, ROFLMAO.

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

First there is the insanity of people who might get try to have sex with cupids (I guess).  

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

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? 

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.

Screaming!  Falling on the floor!!!!!!

I'm sorry, even after reading all this sheer  nonsense, I just can't believe there is anything remotely wrong with naked babies and I would find it a mark of true moral cowardice and the lowest form of (real) pandering to view imagery like this in any but the most innocent light. 

What is, after all, considered NUDITY AMONG BABIES/PUTTI/CUPIDS/CHERUBS?  Is it when their little cherubic butt cheeks show a little bit?  Or is it when their baby chests are not covered?  Or maybe if they have a little bit of a flirty look on their faces?  What if the cracks in their little baby asses are carefully disguised in the promos with clouds?  But then . . .somebody might say that they clouds IMPLY underlying nudity.

Yanno . . . mal y soit qui mal y pense.  

And . . . how could someone find out in advance of the interminable testing routine here whether this obvously innocent product would get the heave ho?

This is great.  I need this dog!
