In honor of Boing Boing: “nudity”
Xeni from boingboing.net has found her blog blocked by an internet censoring company called “Secure Computing,” in particular by a woman named Phyllis who rates Michelangelo’s “David” as nudity, and therefore censorable. The upshot of this is that if you work at Halliburton or Fedex (among others) you cannot look at Michelangelo’s David (or at David’s Johnson) on the job.
So, here’s some nudity for ya (assuming you’re back home now).
BTW, I wonder what Phyllis would’ve done if she’d found my favorite unusual root formation in Central Park? Have a look: “Do you see what I see?” Is it nature, or is it obscenity?
