    Well I could have told you that. see here[^] Are we to deny some of the great pieces of art because of some prudish idea of morality? Botticelli's Birth of Venus, or Goya's La Maja Desnuda are examples of fine art that offend only small minded puritans. There is something intrinsically beautiful about the human body, and regardless of sex, age or appearance, nude art is a genuine art form and should not be censored on the whim of a few morons. Can anyone fail to be moved by the grace of Michalangelo's David? Ridiculous.

      I remember the first time I saw that [edit] David [/edit], there are not a lot of sculptures that can raise goose bumps but that was one of them.

        Marge: Mm, but that's Michelangelo's David. It's a masterpiece.
        Helen: [gasp] It's filth! It graphically portrays parts of the human body,
        which, practical as they may be, are evil.
        Marge: But I like that statue.

          I remember that episode, very good. It is an example of perverseness that people are offended by nudity, it is the most natural thing in the world. We are all born naked, and our bodies are really the only thing we ever own. (what we do to them is criminal! Drinking, Smoking, Fatty Foods, I am guilty of all of these)

              As a straight man I find him beautiful. Just goes to show the talent some of these people had that they can hew beauty from rough stone and make that beauty at such a deep level of the human mind.

                I wonder why anyone bothers with David's frontal nudity. Once on vacations in Firenze, I took a photo of his backside and sent it a friend. She was pleased :rolleyes:

                Personally, I love the idea that Raymond spends his nights posting bad regexs to mailing lists under the pseudonym of Jane Smith. He'd be like a super hero, only more nerdy and less useful. [Trevel]

                      There is something oft overlooked about David's Nudity. Small Penis, Larges Testicles. For it is in there than manhood resides.
