Nudity at the Grocery Store
When is nudity too much? When it appears at the checkout counter of your local grocery store. This month's edition of Sports Illustrated has gone too far. Now, I am a journalist. I understand freedom of the press and the need to sell magazines. Having eight women standing in nothing but bathing suit bottoms is a bit too much. In all honesty they are suppose to have their hands covering their breasts. Most of the women succeed in hiding anything a bathing suit top would cover. It’s the couple of women with double “d” cups, that was the problem. If you look, you can almost see their nipples.
It wasn’t even so much
the magazine's fault. The grocery stores allowed the magazine
distributors to
place the magazine in racks at check out counters. You were then forced
to
stand there and look at them. I was not so much concerned for me but
for my
children. I had to hold my hand over their eyes. We were stuck; there
were
people behind us and in front of us. Was this right for a pubescent boy
to see?
Is this really something I would want him to see? They either could
have put it
up high behind the customer service counter, or placed paper over the
bottom of
the magazine like they do at 7-11. They took away my right to protect
my
children from being exposed to such things. Maybe this is acceptable in
Europe
but it really isn’t acceptable in
