Is this legal?

[Hamish Boyd] “The expression that is used constantly
“Only in America…””

Please don’t assume that this kind of stupidity is all that widespread in the US — at least the parts of the US where most of the people I know live and work. That said, some of the more serious nut jobs gained power in the wake of Clinton/Lewinsky. In the early days of the current administration it got so stupid that John Ashcroft, Bush’s first Attorney General, had drapery put up to cover the naked breasts of Greco-Roman statuary in the foyer of the Department of Justice. Sure made me proud to be an American.

But it will change. There’s an expression about politics and social culture that goes: “the pendulum never stops in the middle.

Obscuring the private parts of statues is a bit absurd. The ultra prudes in question do not seem to understand the intent of the artist. Janet Jackson’s intent was to cause controversy and indirectly to titillate 13 year old boys. The intent of greco-roman artists was to depict life and/or deities in the form of sculpture. Failure to discern a difference and to publicly demonstrate such ignorance is an embarrassment.
Not trying to be political, just calling upon supposedly forgotten learnings from communication theory classes gone by!
