Bullshit

Got home yesterday and saw on the papers 2 full pages about some girl who posted her nude pics on her blog. The publishers must have been really free, ran out of things to write/report about or just decided that paper wasn't something worth saving or giving a shit about.

Well, I know that blog actually, it belongs to somebody who is a 2nd degree 'friend'.. Sincerely speaking, I don't see what's wrong with it. I mean, okie, it's against the law and 'immoral' suppositly, but, it's supposed to be a blog. if anything, though it's on the net, you don't have to read it. If one wants to read it, then don't complain about it's explicite language or pictures. In anycase, though the pictures weren't exactly portrayed as art, but there really aren't that many and they are not explicite. If anything, it's the language and content, why only pin point at the pictures?

*Just to make things clear. I do read the blog every now and then as I find her way of writing/her writing style or so to say, a pleasure to read, and she does have rather interesting(crude, yes, but interesting) opinions about life, the world and art that I find worth in reading.

So what exactly is in the law? Visual language is acceptable but not pictures? The written contents is so much more explicite and no one gave a damn until the pics came up. And all the news paper article focused on was the fact that the pictures were of nudity. There is only one picture that's of blatant nudity, and it wasn't even crude.

Maybe it's just Singaporeans? Are we being alittle too conservative and small brained? What's the big fuss up over just a photo when we can tolerate all the rest of the contents? What is it about visual articles that is so provocative? If it's like really explicite or sexual without any artistic value I can understand the resentment, this is just absurd. Our understanding and portrayal of sexuality is just so backward and remarkably immature.

To feel offensed by sexual or immoral articles is natural for people of conservative values. But to feel offensed, or rather deeply offensed, just because of visual nudity, is plain immaturity.

To anyone who feels like the blog is disturbing you, get a life. Stop reading it if you don't like it's contents. If not. Stop being a hypocrite while secretly savouring the flavourful events of somebody elses life, and feeding your own sick little wormy brain.
