And if the nipple is pierced, all the better. Gather the family round to watch while a couple sing a raunchy song and he exposes her....It's all just so natural.

Right?

Yep. You'll see that humans have pierced, stained, stretched and decorated their bodies to make them more attractive in accordance with particular cultere, homo sapien first became, well, sapient.

What we are seeing now is a rather recent evolution in man into a new species of homo homolis, which exhibits an irrational fear of the female mammae, and as a result, soon becomes extinct - their fossil remains to be found in all the best San Fran bath houses.

If it's okay to show boobs in God's house,

Then it's okay to see them anywhere.

Moral equivalence of sacred art and the Janet Jackson display?

Sorry, I'm not buying it. For one thing, there wasn't any religious message to Janet Jackson.

I pity you.

Either you truly don't see the difference, or you're promoting sleaze for the sake of it, and denigrating what is truly good and wholesome in the process.

You have problems.

Naked Bodies!! Oh my God!!! My eyes!!! I going straight to hell now!!! NOoooooooo.... bad, naked....genitalia.... Holly cow!!! I'm just gonna die...

By the way, did you see the infared movie where the helicopter gunned down those three Iraqis; wasn't it cool, I just love seeing people getting killed and having their life snuffed out....

But breast!!! Oh my God, any representation of life or even a hint of female sexuality offends me to the point of righteous indignation.... I just loveeeee being indignant. It is the new American pass time since baseball is no longer fun to watch.

Wow...comparing the magnificent art of the Church to a gunmetal, solar burst on a silicone enhanced breast is a true stretch. The art you posted is a celebration of the joy of creation; of man's place in Heaven and on earth...Miz Jackson's was just going for the shock factor. Would anybody be talking about her and Timberlake's, eh, performances, without the 'controversy?' And wasn't CBS promoting the Grammy's (or maybe they will just call them the 'Mammy's (for the, no doubt, prominent display of mammary glands...gotta top Janet!) where Miz Jackson will appear again? And have to ask, will we be subjected to another tiny voiced Jackson denial...Michael's, LaToya's, now Janet...'oh but I didn't know Mr. Timberlake would reach over and assault me...oh we were raised so strictly as Jehovah's Witnesses...ohhh.' PUHLEASE!!!!!!!!!

[Greg Luzinski]

YOU'RE SO SOPHISTICATED! Clearly the issue here just boils down to whether we're pro- or anti-breast. Nothing more than that!

Context matters when viewing a nude.

You wear clothes when you leave the house I asume?

I"m sure the hymn on Sunday too has to do with getting someone naked by the end of the hymn too right and it sure looks like the angels were tearing the clothes off of the women in the painting right? Ever heard of context? I doubt anyone on this forum would cringe over a woman breastfeeding her child in public, but if the same woman got up and performed a stripshow in a public place, people would be rightly offended and disgusted.
