Ok, here's the deal... most of the technical issues are worked out and will be posted later with a complete rule/definition disclosure. The controversy is over boobies. Boobie definition now allows deep cleavage. Low cut dress/bikini is ok. But more needs to be sorted out. I still want this to be a family event! So here are two thoughts and yours are very welcome... 1. Definition of nudity will be modified to say something like "Nudity" means the showing of the genitals, pubic area or buttocks with less than a full opaque covering, yada yada, or the display of more breast than you would expect to see walking down the street on a warm summer's morning in a metropolitan area. If you wouldn't want your aunt Edith or your 5-year old to see it that's the line. 2. Definitions stay as they are with the cleavage modification and allow for a 'substantial covering' of the breast below the areola. There's a combo deal. An image that runs up close to the substantial covering and doesn't run close to the other definitions is ok. If an image pushes the envelope on all the rules, its out. What I'm getting at is this... An image that shows breast in a non provocative way would be ok, such as a mermaid in a classy scene with minimal covering. But put a scene together with a lap dancer at a nightclub with the same covering and its probably not family oriented. Obvious pitfalls are whether or not there is too much discretion for the managers and not enough guidance for the entrant. Or the other way around, too rigid and not enough freedom. So what's your choice, comment, idea?
