         | As for the backside of the "young" lady what on earth is wrong
         | with that? You would prefer an old woman? A man? Even if they
         | are trying to show a sexy image to attract attention, so what.
         | I personally would never want to live in such a puritanical
         | world where you can't even show the back of a person because
         | someone might be offended.
