Title: Let's stir the pot and make insults
Post by: JB88 on March 30, 2005, 08:47:11 PM: Ind. Business Told to Hide Nude Statues

Wednesday, March 30, 2005

(03-30) 13:50 PST Edinurgh, Ind. (AP) --

The Venus de Milo had better wear a top and Michelangelo's David should put on some pants if they're going to be seen at a yard art business.

Bartholomew County officials told the business near Interstate 65 that it must move cement copies of the classical statues — and about 10 others — out of public view because they are obscene under Indiana law.

"It's not fair to point out our business, and personally, I don't find them offensive," Ginger Streeval, a co-owner of White River Truck Repair and Yard Art, told the Daily Journal of Franklin for a story Wednesday.

Frank Butler, the county's zoning inspector, disagreed.

"They have nudity ... and that should not be in the view of a minor," he said.

Indiana's obscenity law prohibits the display of nudity where children might see it, he said.

The law also stipulates that such material is harmful for minors if, "considered as a whole, it lacks serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value for minors."

The sheriff's department and zoning officials cracked down on the business about 25 miles south of Indianapolis after receiving two complaints about the statues.

But Ken Falk, legal director for the Indiana Civil Liberties Union, said nudity has been part of art for hundreds of years and that using nudity to define obscenity could raise serious constitutional questions.

"Just because something is nude doesn't mean it's obscene," he said. "If that were the case, most Renaissance art would have to be put into back rooms or hidden."

Post by: Lizking on March 30, 2005, 09:58:31 PM: Yeah, it is a real fundamentalist state. Looked at a Penthouse lately? They are shipped through the US mail, thus subject to Federal law. I think you ladies have issues with local laws, which to my way of thinking is what the US is all about. Even though I, living somewhere else, think it is a stupid law, those who live under that law have the right to decide for themselves, though not for me.

I need to get some sleep too you know?

Anyways I'm not sure which made me laughing more; "White River Truck Repair and Yard Art" (that made me laugh in nice way) or that some nutcase got his panties in a wad when he saw those sculptures.

I gotta ask if You're going to put age limits for people visiting art museums?

:rofl

Post by: Skuzzy on March 31, 2005, 12:24:30 PM: I really detest pot-stirring. It is such a childish thing to do.

And then insulting my intelligence is a bit over the top. Take it someplace else.
