This is a wonderful article. I recently bought Vanity Fair and was simply speechless at the onslaught of pornographic ads in the magazine. Even wristwatch ads feature semi-nude models. A women's fragrance ad features an entirely naked model. It was particularly jarring because this month's "regular" issue is packaged with a beautiful and tasteful mini-issue about the heroes of September 11. I commented to my husband that if anyone wanted to see what the fundamentalist Muslims really despise about America they should just look through this magazine. Not to mention all the so-called women's mags like Glamour, Mademoiselle, etc. that now feature almost nothing but articles about sex.

The pornographication of America is no longer just wrong, it is getting us killed.

Funny you should mention Glamour and Mademoiselle (which has died just recently)...They used to be frivolous little fashion/beauty mags, something to be read in the bubble bath by eager little clothes-horses...but generally benign and harmless, puffery and amusement.

Now, those magazines are appalling, just disgusting. "How to be the crudest and most vulgar of whores" would be appropriate title for most of the articles offered.

However, there is a new little mag called "Lucky" which looks to be fun for the attire-maniac.

Simple nudity is pornographic? Just nudity? The Venice di Milo is pornographic?
