Some parents are either naive or ignorant . If you look at the photo there are children passing by and there not even paying attention. If you really believe your children would be offended or shocked you should hear what they talk about at school with there friends. Trust me i live in a conservative community with lots of kids and some of the stuff ive heard as the elementary and middle school kids pass by is much more pornographic than this statue. And if you think for one second "o no not my kids" HA! thats what all the parents say ... The statue itself is beautiful and i think its about time America catches up with the rest of the world and stop creating ignorant sheltered children.

Don't you want an approximate to realistic and porportionate examples of the female nude? I always talk about taking back the basic parental authority away from Big Brother and place it back in the hands of the adults. I saw the "paradigm shift statues on a separate link and all that was shown was a pair of breasts. Now if Seattle, as liberal as it is claims to be shocked by the not even frank nor controversial depiction of naked breasts than maybe the denizens of Seattle should visit California and see the kinds of wacky proposition-type entitlements that that bankrupt state proliferates. Oh, I forgot. Seattle does have the same sort of liberal imprint. I hear that parents want to be in control of their children's shaping and molding and whatever they absorb and I think a realistic portrayal of an anatomically correct nude woman's breasts is a good start. Because if America is shocked by a naked bum, naked thigh, naked back, naked shoulder then I'm not so sure that I'm not living in Saudi Arabia or some other repressive country. This is the US of A isn't it. Better yet, let's ponder how this artist was able to receive the taxpayer-funded grant to produce paradigm shift. We should all be cognizant of the way that our government shells out money in the face of budget problems and massive government expansion and spending. Come on peeps!

Tue, 30 Jun 2009 04:23:21 +0000 http://www.b-townblog.com/?p=7576#comment-15938 Seriously, are we that easily bothered? There was hell to pay when a proposed art piece, in it's concept drawings, might have looked like a weapon so in it's place we got a VERY tame non-challenging sculpture. Now we have a naked women squatting (and women if you squat like that to pee you'd better wash your feet off as well) and people again have a problem. Why don't you interview the children walking around and ask them what they think? I bet nothing sexual comes from their thoughts (until you hit the teenage boys). We claim to be so open minded yet when challenged with a tasteful nude we gasp and want to run the other direction. European friends of mine simply laugh at us. If you want to spend energy on being offended they why don't you just go to a food shelter or take your kinds somewhere to help volunteer in the community, then at least they will get offended seeing real problems instead of the ones you are manufacturing here.
