Pedophilia or Just Porn?

It's amazing what they can do with airbrushing and photoshop.

Brooke Shields was 15 when this ad was run. Calvin Klein is certainly not the only advertiser to use underage models in sexualized poses, but the company is among the most notorious for it.

The ads are not illegal, but nonetheless I found them disturbing.

(Just in case anyone wants to continue this convo.)

At 15, Brook's mother was the ultimate deciding factor in this.

Three actresses, all in their 20's, who portray high school students on the television show "Glee" have done a highly sexualized photo shoot for GQ@ magazine that has parents in an uproar.

If these actress and the magazine had not been trading on the "Glee" story line, I'd have no problem. But given the images....yes, this is further pop culture sexualization of minor girls and it was over the line.

Shame on GQ@, these actresses and the "Glee" show for this series of photos.

What say you?


Parents Group Rips 'Pedophile' Glee Shots - 'They're old enough to do what they want,' says GQ editor

I'd say that few men on America don't have fond fantasies of the girls who got away in HS.

Stuff like above merely stokes that forbidden (to adult men, at least) fire.

Pedophilia is attraction to children, not High School girls.

If attraction to HS girls was pedophilia, then every healthy heterosexual young HS boy in America is a pedophile.

Now does that really make sense?

Let's call that attraction what it really is shall we?

It's the norm, not a deviation from it.

It is still perfectly reasonable that we have laws against against having sex with teenagers.

But let's not kids ourselves that teenagers (male or female) are CHILDREN.

We all went though high school and we ought to know better than that.

Here's the secret to men... be it a nubile young thing at pretty much ANY age, right up the ol' time line to Granny's tittie - we're gonna look......

That being said, any guy (or girl), who doesn't know the meaning of the words "appropriate" and "no" should have their balls (or the equivalent) chopped off. Metaphorically speaking, of course. Just my humble opinion.*.

I would consider a picture of a girl's nipple getting tongued to be porn, even though there's no penetration.



The pictures are obviously neither pedophilia nor porn.

One mans porn is another mans art and third mans trash. It is all a matter of opinion... and that's what puts a subject into the realm of 'politics'.

Opinions are like faces and fannys - everyone has one and no two are precisely alike.

Reminds me of that one Supreme Court opinion where the Justice wrote something like "I can't define pornography, but I know it when I see it".

A man (or woman) who is paid 6 figures for his (or her) opinion.... that's a pretty heavy responsibility.
