<\/a>For Shame<\/p><\/div>\n
Americans do not mind seeing people murdered on their television screen and they love watching heads flying and limbs severed at the movies.\u00a0 They like the rat-a-tat-tat of gunfire, bodies strewn across the pavement and little children crying for their lost mummies and daddies.\u00a0 \u00a0The more violence the better.\u00a0 That is the American way.<\/p>\n
The truth is that violence and tragedy make great entertainment.\u00a0 So does pornography.\u00a0 Americans actually prefer to watch<\/span> lust happening even more than they like doing it. What a thrill to see a man and women tearing each other\u2019s genitals to pieces or whipping and chaining each other for the sheer pleasure of hearing them scream.\u00a0 Porn is almost <\/span>as popular in America as violence.\u00a0 We watch both every day and love it all.<\/p>\n But let some poor schnook walk outside to get the newspaper in the altogether and he ignites public outrage. \u201cIt offends me to see anyone that way,\u201d said one insulted observer. \u201cIt is disgusting.\u201d<\/p>\n That is why San Francisco decided to compromise its image of freedom of expression and tolerance of the odd-ball and ban public nudity from its streets.\u00a0 No more can raunchy old men spread a towel on a stone bench and sun themselves in the Castro district.\u00a0 No more, can its citizens strip to the flesh to bathe in the afternoon sun.\u00a0 San Francisco now supports the theory that our bodies are so hideous they must be concealed in public.\u00a0 No matter, that liberated women, forward thinking men and eating disorder specialists are trying to make us comfy with our diverse shapes and sizes.\u00a0 In San Francisco, it is pc to be ashamed.<\/p>\n Now, it seems that the Japanese, too are offended by nudity, but they have taken it one step further.\u00a0 They do not want to see representations<\/span> of the human body, much less the real thing. Michelangelo\u2019s David\u00a0 <\/em>was presented to the town of Okuizumo and the inhabitants ran for cover.\u00a0 \u201cIt\u2019s frightening the children and worrying the adults with its nakedness,\u201d said one of the town\u2019s bigwigs.<\/p>\n I can only assume that they have also stripped their museums of reproductions of Van Gogh\u2019s NUDE WOMAN ON A BED or Renoir\u2019s AFER BATHING not to mention Whistler\u2019s shocking NUDE GIRL WITH A BOWL.<\/p>\n Obviously, the very sight of a naked body horrifies the more sensitive among us.\u00a0\u00a0 It is difficult to understand why we think the sight of a penis or a breast will frighten our children more than the sight of shattered limbs and battered heads. Will our innocent youth smash the bathroom mirror when one day they see those very banned organs protruding from their own bodies?<\/p>\n The truth is that in America our bodies are considered repulsive and offensive unless we film them and flaunt them on a screen.\u00a0 The only answer to this dilemma is to cover every baby at birth with ornamental tattoos so that as they mature, no one will recognize the new growth.\u00a0 And everyone will be amazed when it rises to an occasion.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n \n \n \n I don\u2019t even like to be naked \n \n \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" NAKED IS AS NAKED DOES The male body is hairy and lumpy And should not be seen by the light of day Richard Roeper Americans do not mind seeing people…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"yasr_overall_rating":0,"yasr_post_is_review":"","yasr_auto_insert_disabled":"","yasr_review_type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[837],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-5578","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-joe-cillo"},"yasr_visitor_votes":{"stars_attributes":{"read_only":true,"span_bottom":"
