But wait ... isn't this considered art? If so, can't artists get by with anything in the name of free speech, like creating a virgin Mary out of dung, "piss" Jesus, etc.?

Are these same people as outraged about “The Vagina Monologues”? I’ve heard that play has some strong language and themes in it.

So where does one draw the line on various issues like this? Disney has censored its own movie “Song of the South” for racial reasons. The slaves depicted in the movie were stereotypical and not politically correct.

It’s strange to go to Disneyland and see some depictions of Brer Rabbit and Brer Bear, who were in “Song of the South”. I wonder if little kids today even know who those characters are, because they have never been allowed to see the movie.
