Well OJ Simpson was a "serious figure" in the sports world and Michael Jackson was a "serious figure" in the music world, but they're still criminals whether they got convicted or not.

Pictures, please. We know child porn when we see it.
But black bars, by all means.
Lock him up and fire everyone in the "Art" field who supports him.
I'd rather not see FR defaced with such atrocities. Post a link if needed, but don't post it here. Thanks.
More details here---not that any is needed. This is indeed criminally decadent stuff...artists pursuing fame on the bodies of children. I wonder if any of the "artists" are Americans and whether charges can be brought against them in the US preferably in some county in Tennessee or west Texas?

(Note to self: PeterFinn would rather not see redacted child porn.)
I wuz makin' a funny.

" ... displayed works that included video footage of children performing graphic sex acts and photos of young children with their eyes scratched out. "
is the evidence ... the words are sufficient ...
Just another 'incremental' attempt to destroy decency and morality.
It never should have been displayed and if observers say it's porn ... it's porn ... and subject to the law.
For those who mught wonder, this is a good example of "oxymoron".
There are others, that are sick. Some are really sick.
No evidence here, either way.
Ah, sorry. It's been too serious a day for me. My humour seems to be off.
No prob, bob. Child porn is nothing to laugh at, anyway.
Keep being,
What really cracks me up is that one of the pictures they are raving about is of Brooke Shields when she was 10 (which had already been on display at several galleries over the last 20 years) sitting in a bathtub.
In my opinion...anything Larry Clark does is porn....
WTF? How did their eyes get scratched out?

I can (usually) put up with liberal artists making weird, rather offensive crap about America (There was an episode of 'King of the Hill' which at one point pretty humorously skewered those kinds of artists), but this is going way too far. It said that if convicted, this guy could face a fine and up to three years in prison. I'd say that's far too lenient for this twisted freak. Stuff like that isn't art, it's a glorification of evil.
Production photo from Pretty Baby, perhaps? I am sort of morbidly curious what was shown in the exhibit; apparently, it's naughty enough to be prosecuted, but safe enough that it took years to do so.
Take a look at some of the current clothing catalogs.
