[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Or isn't it tasteless and offensive to Catholics to see women dressed as pregnant nuns?[/quote]

Yes.  It is.[/quote]

So, let's demand that this be banned too?

"it is a mad world and it will get madder if we allow the minorities, be they dwarf or giant, orangutan or dolphin, nuclear-head or water-conversationist, pro-computerologist or Neo-Luddite, simpleton or sage, to interfere with aesthetics. The real world is the playing ground for each and every group, to make or unmake laws. But the tip of the nose of my book or stories or poems is where their rights end and my territorial imperatives begin, run and rule. If Mormons do not like my plays, let them write their own. If the Irish hate my Dublin stories, let them rent type-writers. If teachers and grammar school editors find my jawbreaker sentences shatter their mushmilk teeth, let them eat stale cake dunked in weak tea of their own ungodly manufacture. If the Chicano intellectuals wish to re-cut my “Wonderful Ice Cream Suit” so it shapes “Zoot,” may the belt unravel and the pants fall."

-- Ray Bradbury[/quote]

See, this is why nobody should ever cite Ray Bradbury when it comes to politics (as opposed to literature). Because the real world is not actually the playing ground for each and every group, to make or unmake laws.  The ideal world might be. But the real world isn't. [/quote]
