"You've done nothing wrong, and we'll have to punish you", article.
Clearly they are well on their way to establishing a legal environment in Britain where no nude of a minor, no matter how artistic or innocent, is legal. Well, that ought to do it, if nothing else will sexualize children, this will.
Obviously haven't seen the pictures involved and don't want to, but where will it all end? I'm sure all of us that have kids have at some point taken perfectly innocent pics of them when they have been in the bath when babies or running round in the garden (nude) as kids are won't to do. Are we all now to be criminals??
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a baby, a whole classroom full of students came to my house and drew pictures of me while I was nekked in my little tub. Some of them even took photographs, the audicity! I've obviously never been the same again, I still feel violated every day!
ReplyDeleteOh and all those dads (the ones who don't fait) taking pictures of their lil'uns being born had better be imprisoned for life. After all, a naked child AND a pussy in the same picture can only be considered the vilest kind of pornography.
There was this 8mm film of me running around a swimming pool and wearing nothing but my mother's pink straw hat... caused a riot every time my parents showed it.
ReplyDeleteFortunately, this grossly indecent flick was lost before anyone could transfer it to video. Shame on the Cape Cod resort who allowed this to be.
I was almost two years old, after all.
You guys are probably right taking it on the ironic tone, because me, I'm freaked out now. This is beyond collective hallucination/hysteria, it's beaconing worldwide psychosis, in the clinical sense.
ReplyDelete"Nude child photos are used by child abusers, so even if you're not one, we automatically brand you as such." (Note that most child rapists are very careful NOT to take any photos that could become evidence.)
Reminds me of a joke:
A couple went to spend their vacation in their mountain chalet, near a magnificent lake.
When they arrived, the husband was tired from the long drive and took a nap. Meanwhile, the wife got into their small boat, rowed to the middle of the lake, and started enjoying the exceptional quietness with a good book.
Another boat approached her. In it was a policeman, who said: "Ma'am, I'm going to have to fine you. It's forbidden to fish in this lake.
- But I'm not fishing! And so much seems quite clear. I'm just reading a book.
- Perhaps so, ma'am, but you have a full fishing equipment in this boat. So I'm giving you a ticket.
- Very well then. Help. Rape. I'm filing a complaint against you for assault and raping me.
- Wha... WHAT?!? Hey! I'm not raping you!
- Perhaps so, mister, but you have the full equipment with you!"
"This is beyond collective hallucination/hysteria, it's beaconing worldwide psychosis, in the clinical sense."
ReplyDeleteExactly. Well said, doctor. Flaming psychosis. And the fact that it's near-universal makes it dang scary.
Cover up, little children; you're sins against god. You are tempters and temptresses so vile you know not what you offer. But don't worry; we'll taint your innocence until you are as filthy as you are perceived to be.
ReplyDeleteSuffer not, little children. Suffer not.
