The EU should really screen ppl more closely before they allow them inside the walls of the parliament. See if they have cork for brains and such. The latest outbreak of mad parliamentarian decease is that of Anna Diamantopoulou, Barbara Helfferich and Edith Quintin. If it was up to them to decide, all advertisement, TV and printed media would be devoid of all forms of nudity. One can’t help to wonder how and if this would be enforced on the net.

The German newspaper Bild responded like this to the proposal. The polling figures from the same paper do however reveal a much more divided opinion. One would imagine the EU commission for social issues to be equally divided on the issue. If it came to a vote it could surely go either way.

Women do have a habit of denying their sexuality. And this whole thing is particularly strange since recent research has shown that women are actually more flexible than men when it comes to sexual images. I suppose this is nothing but jealousy from three repressed middle aged women then …
I say the answer to this is much simpler. Instead of taking one step back to censorship, take one forward to egalitarian nudity or whatever you want to call it. I don’t think there is a shortage of men who would want to pose nude on the front page, nor that there isn’t a market for the same. Hopefully this whole thing will end up in the waste basket so that the EU can take on more pressing issues.
