    Sarcasm tends to be much less effective in a text-based forum than in person or on TV.

    Re: Objectification of human subjects

    Limiting the discussion to women and sexual objectification is too easy, and feeling or feigning indignation has been reduced to a meme. Objectification (of diverse kinds) in photography, particularly street and documentary photography, is commonplace, as are the rationalizations therefor.

    Well, maybe you're the Prince. How could anyone get "physically sick looking at Michelangelo's David"? Maybe you should check out Jon Stewart instead.

    That's the trouble with today's America; nothing is unbelievable any more.

    Nude photography yes when it is done well. Most isn’t. Most is cheesecake. Am I a homophobe? No.

    I agree with that.

    I'm just a little confused with "WTF? Who are you people?". I think you misunderstood me. I was just saying that we men are wired visually. How we act on that is another matter.
