From: Euterpe Roo "The music spoke to the people, but there was also a society of gatekeepers that would not include the presence of youngsters into adult dialogue and entertainment. Double entendre was the epitome of a songwriter’s skill coupled with wit to keep it away from the kids, while still delivering a popular good" A few decades ago ('60s? '70s?) there was a TV show. One of my older friends told me about it. The host would often ask, "Que pasa con tus pasas?" (Colloq.: "How are your balls?"  The Spanish-speaking community got a kick out of this and whatever Hayes-Office-esque authority was sanitizing television at the time had no idea.

From: Bond Harrington "The gun is good. The penis is evil. The penis shoots seeds, and makes new life, and poisons the earth with a plague of men You raise (so to speak) an excellent point. .

Grimalkin, how about censoring 2% of it like they do in Japanese porn? That would be marginally amusing.

Hi All,
Thanks for your great feedback.
I am afraid that we had a miscommunication in support about the content for Burning Life. Grimalkin's art is not only appropriate, I thought it was quite aesthetic as well. We have sent email and in world IM asking her to please reconstruct her sculpture. We apologize for the error, it is not our intent to censor artist's expressions in the Burning Life islands.
The whippings will now commence.
Cyn

From: Torley Torgeson I am hoping this is one big crazy misunderstanding like that show Three's Company and that we'll all wake up and find it was a dream in a snowglobe, and have a good chuckle over it.  w00t my wish came true!

From: David Valentino Naw..blood and killing and violence are fine. Just something natural like the human body is obscene. We are all born naked, yet it's obscene. Violence and bloodshed is entertainment. The remarkable structure of the human body and the act of procreation is obscene. It all makes such sense doesn't it....  Those were exactly my thoughts, David! It seems to only make sense in the USA tho. LL wants to attract European users? This kind of censorship for sure will NOT be very helpful. It seems to be perfectly fine to have lots of stores with male and female genitals on display for the sole purpose of having pixel sex, but it's too explicit to have ONE sculpture shaped like a penis at Burning Life, with the sole purpose of being a piece of ART! I too assume, as somebody earlier in this thread suggested, that Burning Life will be used for marketing and to show off the creativity of SL members. May I suggest that the Lindens in charge go and look at the sculpture....those two round things at the bottom of the penis are called BALLS! Go and grow some! Demian

Thank you all for your support. I knew my build would provoke commentary, but not censorship. I’ve received a nice email from Cyn Linden explain that there had been a miscommunication about my build, they were sorry and it can stay. Even before this became an issue in the forum, I'd had many guests stop by and express some very positive feelings about it. I’ve enjoyed many wonderful conversations standing/sitting around it and am looking forward to many more of them. See you all in Burning Life.

From: Guy Linden This reminds me of the first Burning Life. There was a build there called POG, Penis of Grief. It was obviously a huge penis, but it was enclosed in a Temple and I dont think there was anything negative at all said about it.
Maybe you could enclose the whole plot in a huge box and texture the inside walls clear so when people walk inside it seems like they are outside again. Just an idea over just taking it down. OMFG! You know, Guy, I'm European, if I would have read something like that in my first days in SL, I would have run and never come back. Just as an example how art is treated in Europe. The Leopold Museum in Vienne, Austria recently showed an exhibition "Die Nackte Wahrheit" (The naked truth) featuring paintings from Kokoschka, Kliemt, Schiele and others to show how scandal pictures initiated or served as turning points in the development of modern art around 1900. The museum offered free tickets to people who would come naked. Welcome to the 21st century! http://www.stern.de/lifestyle/leute/544096.html?q=nackteGo ahead, guys, shoot yourself in the foot. You want to expand your non-US market? Good luck! Demian
