The picture itself shows nothing. Her breast is exposed. I have more boob. And I'm not a man-boob guy.

This area had the same argument, albeit an older girl, last week. A high school senior won an art contest with a nude self portrait. It was tasteful and not erotic at all.

The newspaper sponsoring the contest threw out the judgement (and contacted all other media to breathlessly know that it was withdrawing the award). The judge's second choice? A sculpture of a nude, pregnant torsoe.

Threw out that one too. I don't know the final winner. Maybe a tracing of Richie Rich. Clothed.

Child porn should be against the law. Nude portraits should not.
