toldailytopic: Should anything that is considered art be covered under free speech?

[Granite]

Whatever one's stance on erotic "art" I assume we can all at least agree it should not be made public.

Define "erotic." Nudity? Partial nudity?

P.S. Ya know what, considering what you do and don't know maybe it's better not to even imagine what you'd construe as "erotic" these days.

No. But it won an award in a show that was in part sponsored by the National Endowment For The Arts.

Yeah, but so does every strutting bimbo-du-jour at the AMAs. Most awards are little more than advertising trinkets.

Serrano's photo was a 3rd rate bit of silly nonsense, and would have remained that way, award or not, had the media not stumbled on it and played it up into another one of their "big controversies" that wasn't a controversy at all until they invented it.
