MySpace was bought a while back by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., which means it's going for the mainstream as the mainstream is defined in the US, which abhors any form of public nudity, at least when they think they'd get in trouble over it.

This is unrelated, but I just moved from the US to Europe. In the US, the Wild On series on E! never showed any nudity. Here, they air a Naked Wild On edition on the European version of E! where they try to cram as many nude boobies in the program as possible.

It's hypocrisy, pure and simple...

Don't blame News Corp.  MySpace had those rules before the buyout.

And your example of hypocrisy is weak too.  Just because the U.S. doesn't allow it but Europe does does not make us hypocrits.  Just different.

By the U.S. allowing more violence than many European nations, does that make them hypocrits?

The Naked Modern shot in my porffolio taken with the orange chair, and the shot with fans were ripped out of my Myspace profile by a moderator.

I've had the fan picture up for about six months, but just changed my entire page to match the chair picture.  Apparently, someone was offended...there is no other way a moderator on that site would have done anything.  So many cam-girls on that site, and yet tasteful nudity is cause for my page to get shut down?  Because of 14 year-olds?  SO fucking WHAT? 

I could throw up.

Sometimes just sucks!  It's myspace, do you expect professionalism on a site designed for 14 year olds?
