I saw this story and had much the same reaction as everyone else. Common sense is so rare as to be completely lost these days. First of all, nudity isn't pornographic. It's the intent/use of the nudity that makes it pornographic. Secondly, the fact that this ever got beyond the police telling WalMart exactly where to go for even bothering them is troubling. Maybe they are just loving parents trying to capture a moment of innocence to use to embarrass their kids later in life. Or to relive such a moment when the urge to throttle an insolent teenager arises.

This is the same sort of idiotic paranoia that results in telling lost kids to go find a woman with kids or a police officer to ask for help. Avoid single men because we are all lurking, deranged child molesters who will kidnap them. I have always told my kids to go to the first adult they see. Period. I have actually been taken to task about that by a friend who works for Social Services. She can't believe I would endanger them like that!!!

Has the whole f***ing world gone insane???

(sorry... somewhat disjointed & maybe slightly off topic, but it pisses me off and I need to rant)
