What about reported nudes showing ​

on Fridays?  or​

Will Friday Showing -

The Blog - Get Censored?

First I think this blog should be fun, educational, honest and with very limited inadvertent sarcasm, thus Friday Showing will not stop publishing if any internet powers want to censor it.

I am ever curious about the media, art, the sexes and censorship, I like all except the last thing. I am undertaking a project, started with the photos - A Side Boob Update, to see from where and when censorship may rise its ugly head. ​

I now know that sides of boobs are legitimate for this humble blog unless someone wasn’t paying close attention or is waiting for one more side boob to appear before closing down Fridays.

I have gathered that America has a booming market for porn and I fancy that our land may be the most unaccepting of nudity anywhere children or the mainstream media may find it.

Personally, I never once said a word of caution to my kids about nudity and when they reached the age of curiosity I was glad I never heard about any exploits of a sexual nature. Thank you kids.

What they may have seen and when never became an issue in our family and we were blessed with no pregnancies, law suits or angry mobs at the door. My kids now grown are not normal, thank goodness but they seem happy, are good friends with Mom and Dad and show no signs of sexual perversions. ‘Not normal’ means normal is a word without definition which is used like a club to keep folks in line and which I can’t recognize when I see it.​

 

The humble Friday Showings is not interested in showing pictures of sexual activity, the internet does a fine job of this already catering to all tastes.

The pictures showing nudes very much resisted in the states or suggesting nudity, like all advertising are not a matter of concern except as a recognition of beauty as in art. Here is where the waters should be cleared up. The judgment of beauty, art and advertising belongs in the eye of the beholder and not for any sight police to control. Certainly such matters are reflected in cultures each with a somewhat unique viewpoint.

I plan to regulate disappointment or anger about censorship intruding in our lives, in this blog by showing stuff I find interesting, and letting my own tastes hang out here for all to see, and - also watch for signs of censorship or thought control from the outside.

Judging from my years of experience facebook I wouldn’t be surprised if censorship will be found and it is arbitrary and very decisive. My hope is that over time we can enjoy the graphic images of nudes with no worry.

I also hope that by pushing limits you might say by degrees that I may be able to continue publishing when one item seems too much to someone in internet authority, allowing me to promise to be more respectful of their tastes in the future and not simply be kicked off the website, lose all my work and have a dishonorable discharge.

Can it be that the nipple is the dividing line for the unacceptable? Right up to the nipple or some other body part or position perhaps being OK but revealing the bump at the end of breast could get one on the poo poo list?

It would be rather like allowing the photos of mountains but never showing the snow capped tops. Now you know, unlike the mainstream media, I will push some limits perhaps or perhaps not and learn something or teach something about our community values.

I sincerely hope if you have any thoughts on this you will share them with me. Send no photos. (a smile goes here) Thank you.
