T/uat s why, fiôr exam p/e, same of t/le best people, with 'backgrounds lacking little, wvind up behind bars. It scerns samewhat incongruaus ta us, f ôr exam pie, tiwt nudity is barred .fir the mast part fi-rn televisian, yet whcn African tribes are pictured 'ay naturel' that s alright.

Lt's almost as if a nude Africani is 'decent' but a nude w/itc persan isn 't. Why is anc accepted and the at/uer NOT? A body is a body is a body... orne fatter, some skinnier, saine taîl, some short, but a/i basica/ly the same. Sa why t/he shamne atnd why the indecency? To us sitame is subjective and indecency is objective. Shamre is iwhat yau Jèel about yaursclf, and indecency is usual/y w/uat you feel abaut oathers. We cati understand indecent A CTS, or rather wc wil agree that some acts are indecent, but sure/y sex and aur bodies are not itîdecent. Yet if wc sec a nakcd b~ody we act as if the act af nakedness is in itself indecent.

A gaod example is a recen i instance whcre a reader took us ta task for publishing aphota of a girl ini a bikini sun- bathiîig at a Brock Street park. He was terrib/y offended about this photo, but w/uy?..sure/y tItis gentleman can't be blind ta the world around /im. Is a girl, in a bikini, sunbathing in a local park a first for Whitby? Does this gentleman ban departments for catalogues, travel folios, and a/I other magazines from his house? Ever look at /zosiery ads and notice 8 out of 10 times THA T'SAL L the model has on? To those we may have offended by ligh t/y touc/uing upon THIS sub/ect we offer aur apologies and the trauma that may have been caused by aur mention of this 'verbat- en 'sub/ect.
