Ordinarily, as you know, I agree with you about most things, but I guess I
just hafta jump in here. I disagree. For me it's not about being offended.
It's not about beauty or morality, or pornography (whatever that is) or any
of the other standard 'gender' stuff.

It is just that I'm kind of a little sad that there is finally at bottom, no
place left to hide.

TV, movies, advertising, music, internet spam, etc, etc, etc...

It just seems to me that it would be nice to have someplace to go where one
could at least *hope* to escape.

Sorry, but for what little it's worth, I agree with the original poster.
