We live in a world where it's OK for every global media outlet to run multiple photos of a mutilated corpse, but a photo of a topless woman breastfeeding her child would be censured as obscene.
there is a picture I saw on fb that had to men kissing on one side and on the other it had a picture of children that are starving from famine and it said something like that. If you think this is more obscene than that, there is a serious problem. Salaams, it's me mubeenah. I had no idea you had a blog, i'll check it out. I like it much better than facebooking. I have one that I barely use, except for private posts mostly.
Walakum salaam, Mubeenah. Good to see you here! I'm not surprised you prefer blogs to FB; you always seemed more into ideas than images. Please tell your Dad I said hello :)
I saw a similar point the other day, which was that many people will overlook starving and bony, emaciated children, but raise heck over two same-sex people showing affection.
Ah yes, hypocrisy at its finest.

ReplyDeleteI agree, Sarah. Oh, the world we live in.
ReplyDeleteThat makes no sense to me at all. It defies logic.
ReplyDeleteJay - I gave up looking for logic in the world a long time ago.
ReplyDeleteSo true Mohamed.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Agnes. For a person like you, a person whose world includes the creation of visual beauty, I know you understand the impact of images.
ReplyDeleteTruth. It's a travesty.
