Nadine sent me a link to her blog, after reading it i was just stunned.
Following the link to Burning Life blog of Gavin, i found the following text:
[10:10] Iridium Linden: Hi GavinLeigh. Thanks for your note. I did tell Vicero that bits (ex: nipples) could not be shown in a PG sim. Perhaps we can reassign your plot to a Mature Burning Life sim. I’ll investigate and get back to you. Or perhaps you can make the breast without so much detail. I know that’s a lot to ask, but let’s see if we can find an alternative first.
This is just stupid, maybe stupid is not enough. Shall we hide the nipples of the mothers to their childrens? Should we hide Venus de Milo, or David, or any classic sculpture in a sex shop?
I totally agree with Vint, Laetizia and Dandelion in this:
I demand an official apology on the Second Life blog, containing the words overzealous, overstepped, clear and boundary. I demand that the statue be allowed to stand on the intended spot, in her full nude glory, with a notecard giver next to it to give out the full text of said blog.
Nudity is natural, is beautyful. We are not talking about porn, we are talking about beauty, about art. And anyway, all residents are supossed to be +18, so all this is even more stupid.





I, too, have been following this story this morning. I hate the fact that I now live in not one, but two worlds, where nudity is considered by many to be offensive. Nudity in art has always been controversial, yes, but in this day and age, surely the powers that be can tell the difference between pornography and art. I have kids (ages 13 and
and I have no problem with them seeing images of nudity, either RL or SL, so long as it is not sexual in nature. We are all naked under our clothes – it’s time we celebrated the beauty and wonder of those bodies rather than treating them as something to be ashamed of.
You are on the list of protesters now.
Want a Tshirt or tattoo? Didn’t test them on males yet. :d
Nice one Raul. It’s ridiculous and shows how much Linden Lab are out of touch with reality. I wrote a bit here too if you want to reference the images I posted links to – http://www.flickr.com/photos/arahanclaveau/1285949103/

They are complete losing control. They don’t know what to do anymore. They started a thing, and there is no way of return.
Please stop this madness, Linden Lab!!
