3. The Art Taliban

"Impure Thoughts"? I would suggest that simply because "They" have "impure" thoughts, it doesn't mean that everyone looking at art has them. Once again the Taliban strike. Face it, fascists are fascists the world over.
4. Ok, I have to know....

Does this mean that the women depicted need sleeves below the elbow and skirts below the knee? Or just no exposed boobies? Can the occasional offending elbow be auctioned if the work is really, really valuable? I'm not sure the great masters painted for a stroll through Mea Shearim. Oh well, what do I care - I can't afford a matted and framed poster, nude or clothed. But I do wish the modest, cash strapped millionaires the best of luck.

7. Cover the statue of David
Petra ,   USA   (12.02.08)
or, alter him so he's circumcised. What a hoot! The "religious' take home $$ in wheel barrows as long as no t&a is shown! To me, that's far more 'indecent.' Hilarious!!
8. p.s. what about 'indecent' men?
