There has been much frustration expressed by artists in this forum over hysteria about biologically correct images of humans and even other mammals!! I think about this sillyness frequently over here in Europe where the fountains, wall carvings, and even chruches are often dripping with anatomically correct images of adults and children, and even animals!! It would cost billions of dollars to remove them all, but there is no point in it because Europeans laugh at the notion that they cause sex crimes or whatever. Anyway I had to laugh when I came across the following artistic spoof on the web, and I thought some of you might enjoy it as well. I am checking violence because it does portray violence against art. "Fochit had been commissioned to execute a Madonna and Child for the tomb of Etienne Chevalier, treasurer to King Charles VII of France. As luck would have it he completed the painting one week after Paris had passed its landmark "zero-tolerance" legislation regarding child pornography. The artist was consequently arrested and used as an example by the courts, sentenced to 30 years in the notorious Bastille. He hanged himself shortly after his incarceration there. His model, Agnes Sorel, was given a 14-year sentence for contributing to the delinquency of a minor, procuring the use of a child for use in a pornographic setting, and operating a milk bar without a town license. Her child, Jean-Louis, was assigned to a foundling home where he perished of neglect."
