...those Romans

I don't know if it is just me, but I the ancient world has a lot of nude pictures. Not only pictures, but graphic sculptures. Seriously, we blame the perverts of our modern society with the porn problem of today, but I say, BLAME THE ROMANS! I mean seriously, wouldn't it be easier to carve a tunic, or whatever they actually wore, into stone, than the unmentionables...in details? I know the statue, David, that sits in the Galleria dell' Accademia in Florence (I had to prove my smarts), is considered priceless, breath taking art, but does it take your breath away because of how artistic he is, or from the shock of seeing a 17 foot statue of a naked man. Mine is decisively the latter.  Personally, I would  find David much more appealing if he looked like this...

                         or like this...how he actually looked in BC bible times

How difficult would that have been? I think his breath taking ability just went from 1 to 10 with a quick covering of a tunic...or skirt, whatever your opinion leads you to believe. I mean with the tunic (or if you prefer the tutu)  his attractive level shoots way up, then I would understand the act of losing your breath by his sight. But that does not lesson the fact that its in marble. Fake. Not real. Inanimate. So no matter how you look at it, David is still a statue. A PG-13 one at that matter, and I think loosing your breath over a statue is a little...shall I say it? Excessive. I am sure some art nuts are plotting my murder this very second. Oh well, I still think the ancient Romans should be blamed for today's pornography.

Until Next Time,
