As a fellow artist, I know Bonnie would agree with me. Classic and modern Nude art isn't vile, immoral or disgusting. Just like the body, and how its presented in art like in Venus DeMilo, DaVinci, Michelangelo, and all the other Renissance painters and sculpters. Modern artists too. I think its not offending at all, and as long as there is no sexual conotations or overtones added to it its not offending at all. Its very stupid to be offended by good art. Example our former Attorney general John Ashcroft covered up two Art Deco aluminum statues of semi-nude figures in the building’s Great Hall of the Dept of Justice. Very stupid.
So what do you think?

I love nude artwork - paintings, sculptures, sketches - it's always excellent. It just shows that the artist feels more freedom in what they're doing. For example, I think it was stupid for the Vatican to cover up all the genitalia on Michelangelo's "The Last Judgment" after his death. It's the best piece of fresco art ever and would probably be even better without sheets, tunics and cloths.
Maybe I'm just perverted.
But I think nudity makes art 10x better.

I was just about to say that.
Also, you say that nude art is fine as long as no sexual overtones are present, well what about art that is not nude but has sexual overtones?

Well, I'm at an art school right now, so I'm seeing plenty of nekkid people.
The human body is beautiful. The Greeks knew this long ago, but in today's society, it's like "OMGBOOBS.*"

BACK TO THE NUDE HUMAN BODY, EVERYONE.
I love Greek vases. Did you know that the 7th and 6th century Spartan hoplites went into battle with a bare crotch? This is further proof that they were awesome.

My joke was a joke within a joke. I was making a joke about how your joke was repeated. Essentially it was my joke.
Anywho...
Nude art doesn't bother me.

The fact that you knew this right away is further proof you've invested too much time into ancient Greece etc.

It's easy to notice, almost every single one of their statuettes and paintings before the 5th century shows them entirely armoured except for their genitalia. Even some idiot like Tony could have figured it out.
(Of course, their nuts would have been protected by their enormous aspis shield, as you'll note in the image below)
