Virginia Beach police seize photos from Abercrombie store | HamptonRoads.com | PilotOnline.com




I don't do politics and censorship much here, mainly because I know it's an exercise in frustration, but I swear, when I read a story like this I begin to despair for the future. A shopping mall store was raided and the manager cited with obscenity charges for displaying the photo above, and one other. The other image is of a woman who is topless and whose "breast is displayed with her hand covering just the nipple portion".

Doesn't anyone living in the United States NOT see that they are doing exactly what the Taleban would have done ? What makes me sadder/angrier are some of the comments praising the decision to get rid of this "sick porn", etc. What the hell is so offensive about the human body ? (Stops writing before a curse filled rant ensues)
