I'VE BEEN CENSORED

I\'VE BEEN CENSORED

<font color=black>WARNING - DO NOT OPEN THESE LINKS IF YOU ARE LIKELY TO BE OFFENDED BY WORKS OF ART
OR YOU ARE OF A NERVOUS DISPOSITION</font color=black>
'My little picture' of <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.arts-studio.com/shopinfo/uploads/962810354_large-image_as.jpg> Two Friends </A> has given offence to THE MANAGEMENT and I've been requested to change it, because a thread (Now Pulled) <font color=red>Nigel B Naked</font color=red> was posted on <font color=green>Practical Boat Owner's Reader to Reader</font color=green>.
I replied to the post pointing out that 'My little picture' was not of me but a painting by Tamara de Lempicka
I then said that I was more like <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.stone-circles.org.uk/stone/images/cerne1.jpg> THIS </A> in my youth.
This must have aroused a dormant purity in some people, and as you may know, any form of arousal can make the blood pulsate hard in the veins. It all came to a head and apparently complaints were made.

Even the Nazi's only censored BOOKS by flames, I think their method of censoring ART was to collect it all up and take it home.

Have I exceeded the bounds of decency and propriety?

THIS IS CENSORSHIP:

Good!

Come offit, yor pics were soft-porn boundary-pushers, and you've found a boundary?

Hey- I found the boundary in other directions. For example, Scunthorpe is now okay, but used to read S{CENSORED}horpe. Mind you, using *c_nt***** is a bit strong, innit, hence the self-censorship...

Re: Good!

Agree
Mind you Nigel - its having the boundary pushers in life that helps the middle of the roaders like me know where the Kerbs are

On Nigel\'s side

because its a well known fact that naked ladies painted are art, whereas naked ladies photographed are rude.

Re: Good!

You may be right but certainly SWMBO saw the picture this morning and wasn't too impressed.

What on earth

Are you doing letting her into what is patently a gentlemans club?
Shame on you sir - blackball offense I believe - could lead to an EGM and goodness knows what

Re: I\'VE BEEN CENSORED

Come on... in your dreams!! Not even in your youth.

Amazing how a bit of graffiti can last so long!!

(I don't have to agree with YOUR opinions, but I'll defend your right to express them).

Ulp!

I wasn't aware I had broken a local rule. I beg forgiveness of the committee and promise that it won't happen again.

I say, would you mind passing the word for the butler old boy.

Regards

Re: On Nigel\'s side

I still can't get my head around this. I've just had to look at an enlarged piccie of "Two Friends" (not a pretty sight) to see if I've missed something as it is now being described as soft porn. CLOSE ALL ART GALLERIES, ALL LIBRARIES & MOST MUSEUMS.

 

[ponapay]

It looks as though my reply was too!

I replied with a very proper response (an apology if my original post caused the problem).

My reply has not appeared here, it might have been on the other IPC board however - will check.

It jusy makes life difficult if people put the same post in two or more boards!

Re: On Nigel\'s side

I agree, soft porn indeed!
I believe the Victorians did allow the grass to grow on the giants pride.
Can't stay, I got to go and put little skirts on the legs of my computer table.

Re: PAIN IN THE ARTS!

While we have this general agreement that the forum must be purified
it's about time to have a close examination of Masaccio's portrait: what
disgusting thoughts are going through the perverted mind of this twilight
character??? This is precisely the cause of what undermines our civilization -
you don't know what's going on!

Re: Good!

Standards!

I just heard Humphrey Lyttleton say on the new digital radio channel BBC7,

"I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue, the radio programme that did for comedy what Gareth Hunt did for rhyming slang"

Listen tonight at 8pm, or on Radio 4 for one evening only
