Full Frontal Nudity on the DIS??......Probably Not....the RIGHTEOUS would swoon!!

Judy, I dont't think I would have any problem skipping meals at your house. lol

Eros im sure for some they may be horrified by the sight of a naked body. I think for others their is a time and place for everybody and while i might love to see a bunch of naked women walking around wdw i dont think that is the proper place to be acting in that manner. As for the ad i think its just being outlandish to get attention but has no relation to what the ad is trying to sell. Now if it was a ad for playboy/playgirl it would be ok as that is what that audience is looking for(unless of course you get the magizene for the articles)

this is old stuff, but does any else remember Nudie Patootie and the thread about nudists at WDW? I do.

 

[DocRafiki]

sex has no relation to cologne? yeah right. i guess we wear it to impress our pets?

i don't need to see some body's every nook and cranny (ew) to find it sexy. but, hey, look at all the people who have viewed this thread and now know about this product.

 

[Planogirl]

DocRafiki, I know that you're right about sex and cologne being related. I personally don't like MOST colognes so I don't even think about it. But thanks to Eros I may just discover one I like.

righteous: adj. Free from guilt; morally right; acting in accordance with moral or divine law.

Hmmm...makes me proud to be one of the RIGHTEOUS.

Thanks for the compliment.

 

[WillyJ]

I remember that thread Tee!!! LOL!!

Good point Jen. . . and I don't get a chance to say this often, but well-said Bob!

While I don't necessarily see why it needs to be on a billboard, I must admit that all of this has peaked my curiosity. Is the picture on the Yves Saint Laurent website? I may have to go look.

 

[Bob O]

Doc- Ive seen alot of men who have been with women who smelled very ripe and stuck so its not always about the cologne that will turn on them on!!
And nice to be in agreement with Willyj!!

ME TOO!!!!!!!!!

Perhaps some intoxicated DISCONers will be seen wearing only their lime green lanyards .......

 

[catsrule]

well eros, since you won't be there looks like you won't be seeing it.

 

[EROS]

Catsrule, since JOHNTBAP is probably the LAST woman on Earth who would ever allow herself to be seen nekkid by anyone but her husband and doctor, then I'm confident that she can great some candid pics for me if the DISCONers run "wild" ........

 

[catsrule]

As long as JTB gives me a hug first, she can take my picture. Of course, I don't drink, I am just there to observe.

Full Frontal Nudity on the DIS??........Probably Not....

Now whatever for? This is a Disney Site!! There are plenty of sites you can go to if this is what you want to see. I for one, hope we are never subjected to this here. Good grief, sometimes I feel like I'm around a bunch of junior high boys.

...but this topic does not even warrant a response!

Ummm....Isn't that what you just did, give a response?



I understand why full frontal nudity is not allowed on the Dis. It is a site owned and run by someone else, who gets to make up the rules. If we want to play than we follow those rules. And I am happy for them, as it allows some organization and consistancy. Nudity doesn't belong here anymore than public executions, video of liposuction proceedures, or the conversion of every thread into a battle of religious vs intellectual thinking.

First does an AD campaign with nudity bother me? No way! If you are not interested in seeing this AD than don't buy a magazine which would display it. There isn't much chance you will stumble across it in Better Homes and Gardens. Besides nudity has been allowed in European magazine ads for awhile now. Ever buy a European Cosmopolitan magazine? I have. Granted no full frontal male nudity has probably been seen before, but so what? Nudity is such an ambiguous thing when it comes to public acceptance. It is ok in National Geographic, Art Museums, Discovery Channel shows about 3rd world nations, and shows about baby birth, but add the least bit of sexuality to it and people run to their Bibles and Congressmen. This isn't some add campaign that little Bobby and Suzy are likely to see in their Scholastics magazine. It is geared towards adults. If you are not adult enough to understand that the human body was made naked before people manufactured clothing to put onto it than maybe you should be reading Scholastics. Plus having the picture available on the internet is nothing more of a parental challenge than keeping your child off internet porn sites. Naked does not equal pornography.

Second is an ad with full frontal nudity a good thing? Who cares. It isn't bothering me. Is this ad campaign likely to encourage me to purchase this cologne? Not likely, but then again, neither is the ads for CK jeans with the anorexic sad looking models. Do I own CK jeans? Yes, but b/c I like them and wanted them. Not due to an ad campaign. This YSL cologne would be no different in my opinion.

Like I said, this ad doesn't bother me. I also totally understand that the Dis is no place for nudity. Personally I wouldn't want to see nudity here. If I had any desire to ogle nude bodies on the internet than I am sure I could find a place with very little effort. But that does not mean that I run and hide from nudity behind some thin shield of co-called moral superiority.

Why are threads that deviate from the list of Christian approved topics, automatically equated with "junior high school" behavior. Is it not possible that intellectual discussion could happen outside the realm of the divine?
