Slog - Comments on Art News Part I http://slog.thestranger.com/2006/08/art_news_part_i What does Seattle have in common with Loveland, Colorado, a bitty city with a population of 50,000 in the eastern foothills of the Rocky Mountains? Like Lovelanders, it turns out we might not be able to look at nude sculptures without poisoning our children, either. The third annual West Edge Sculpture Invitational has several sculptures up now on Harbor Steps, on the outdoor staircase on the south side of Benaroya Hall, and inside Benaroya. (I saw the show last week, and few of the sculptures, if any, are worth writing about, although there was one lovely weathered-wood pedestal.) The artist...

Vaginas are what most of us enter the world through. Breasts are our first source of comfort and satisfaction. Even I, as a dyed-in-the-wool homo, with no interest in either boobs or vaginas, can appreciate that.

And yes - that bitch in La Jolla has way too much time and money on her hands.

But nooooooo . . . the minute "the children" are mentioned, all potential for a discussion goes out the window, because after all the little dears can't take part in this mature discussion.

And that's the purpose, isn't it?

Kids in other parts of the world are hauling around AK-47's, and these people don't bat an eyelash. But god forbid a child might see an image of a breast!! Not like there haven't been statues of bare-chested women for centuries, or anything.

Then show them Lewis Carroll's photos of little girls. Religious groups always protest true art. The public must demand better.

I hate to admit it but a "Warm Shit Torah" would be hilarious and would get plenty of people pissed off. Why not display the "Warm Shit Torah" next to some cartoons to piss of muslims? That'd be a discussion I'd like to hear.
