on a serious note, i have a BIG problem with newscasters, talking heads, whatever they need to be called, abusing the language that we are trying to teach our children. i hear this crap all the time and, every once in a while, they come up with something that really jacks my jaws. are pedophiles just looking at nude pictures? i really wonder what they look like. my mother took pictures of me and my sister in a laundry tub full of water in the back yard when we were 3 and 5 years old. we weren't wearing any clothes. was that a nude picture, or a picture of two nude children?
how complicated is this?
