And she's wearing a negligee in what appears to be a bedroom with the blinds drawn...Well, I suppose she could be preparing to make blintzes.<br /><br />Anonymous, you might actually get in trouble asking a police officer if you can photograph her gun, and you would certainly do so if you asked to photograph her nipples. But that's because it's an invasion of privacy issue, not obscenity. You would also get in trouble for asking to photograph her child's bedroom, and that's hardly an obscenity question.<br /><br />The point I was making is that we don't think twice about casual indicators of violence in media images -- the question wouldn't even come up at the MPAA -- but a movie poster showing something a little more revealing than we see at the beach gives us the heebie-jeebies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7398139335366037888.post-81830067662502343722014-05-31T21:31:55.279-07:002014-05-31T21:31:55.279-07:00Based on the position of Ms. Green's trigger f...Based on the position of Ms. Green's trigger finger and the captioned dialog, it's pretty obvious that the photo was taken POST heinous use.<br /><br />Anyway Larry, didn't you pay attention to the James Bond "Quantum of Solace" teaser posters, where Daniel Craig is holding a Heckler & Koch UMP-9 submachine gun in a similar posture?<br /><br />And your final sentence is rather incoherent - there is no hint of "preparing to make love" in the poster.Garth Vaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03575150785051894691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7398139335366037888.post-84645492552276981032014-05-31T09:03:50.740-07:002014-05-31T09:03:50.740-07:00This is America.

What kind of message would we be sending if we taught them that the sight of a beautiful woman's body is preferable to the sight of a device designed to kill people? <br /><br />A device, I might add, which our precious Second Amendment (are there any others?) gives us every right to own, and our wonderful new "stand your ground" laws give us a right to use on anybody, anytime, with no fear of legal repercussions. Just say that hombre looked at you funny and you're home free! Gotta' love this country! <br /><br />Thank God for Freedom!!! And Thank God our kids will grow up knowing guns are more important than boobs, and that we love them enough to know which to protect them from.<br /><br />What, are you some kind of commie?Archiguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13402271358568917397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7398139335366037888.post-30298813109529391182014-05-31T06:37:26.900-07:002014-05-31T06:37:26.900-07:00That theory has some holes in it.That theory has some holes in it.Ron Wagnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08446871100749888822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7398139335366037888.post-48287100783374721122014-05-31T05:39:24.281-07:002014-05-31T05:39:24.281-07:00You think it's wrong that they allow a gun on ...You think it's wrong that they allow a gun on a poster but not a nipple? That's exactly how it should be.<br /><br />Maybe this will help you understand. Go find a female police officer. Ask her if you can take a photo of her gun. Then ask if you can take a photo of her nipples. See which one gets you in trouble.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
