My point was that of who decides what is obscene? As elmer points out, if the Abercrombie posters are obscene what about all the other materials he mentions. My beef with the mayor is that she should have called the police chief and said "what the F*** are you idiots doing??" If she's worried about the city's image, this only makes the city look ridiculous and backward.Michael-in-Norfolkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06330888799107186550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34239589.post-84080401586866912952008-02-04T10:05:00.000-05:002008-02-04T10:05:00.000-05:00I was waiting for your comment on this topic.

I do agree the images are not obscene in the least -- a bit racy, definitely, but not obscene. The question is, "Who determines what is and isn't obscene?" And, how do you get your voice heard? Is there a petition to say these posters are artistic (and sexy), but honestly how does the city allow lingerie, panty and bra ads to be printed in the daily newspaper? And, don't even get me on the subject of advertisements for personal hygiene products that are just plain rediculous. Really, does everyone have to know the ins and outs of the female anatomy to the point of being able to describe the organs and the various aspects of the periodic cycle? Oh, by the way, don't miss the letter to Dear Abby about the 16-year-old who has been having a relationship with her 48-year-old pastor. Those in charge of the moral compass have damaged their bearings, methinks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
