Is society so backwards that this is disgusting?

Interesting that you equate defecating in public as disgusting as having sex.

Not having sex in public is a cultural issue, whereas not defecating in the street is a public health matter.

It's all these funny little Victorian values which still pervade so much of our lives.
Like not talking about sex in public. Everyone does it. Yes it might be a bit grim thinking about sweaty betty and fat frank bashing their bits together, but does that also mean we're not allowed to have reasonable discussions about it on television and radio?

I don't equate them as disgusting as each other, when did I say that? Don't put words in my mouth. I just used them both as examples of natural things.

I also used the example of street as simply being in public. I wouldn't feel comfortable having someone defecate in a greenhouse with all the necessary hygiene plumbings either.

I am a active member of a number of sex positive groups so you don't need to tell me about Victorian attitudes, but there is a massive difference between talking about sex and wanting to see it in public, the same with pooing and breastfeeding.

Your whole post is idiotic and filled with assumption.

there are some things that you should keep at home.. in normal society (with no deviants) the act of sex is private, the act of relieving yourself (either way ;) ) and other similar acts are all private so you wouldnt want me to do these in front of you.

The whole issue about breast feeding is not that it is disgusting but the showing of the actual breast imo.
 
Just because something is "natural" doesn't mean its OK to do in public.

It is perfectly OK to breastfeed in public.
One can use a modesty cover if one wishes, but no one should feel embarassed or ashamed to breastfeed in public.
Rarely is the whole breast uncovered as shown in the original photo.

Interesting that you're ignoring what they actually said, making something up and passing it off as something they said.

Their point was clearly made - "natural" does not mean "a good thing to do in public".

It doesn't mean "a good thing" in any context, since many bad things are natural (murder, for example).

It's a false appeal to authority, an attempt to claim superhuman authority for whatever position the speaker wants to promote. Some people call the superhuman authority they claim for themselves "god", others call it "nature". I call it a fallacy at best and dishonesty at worst.
 
:p

Ok, I will reprhase: What`s so offending about a female`s nipple that it needs pixelating?

Serious question. Male nipples seem to be ok. It`s a bit sexist against female nipples. :o

I'll give you a serious answer, then.

It's not directly about nipples. It's about sexual images.

In this society, female breasts are deemed sexual and male breasts aren't. Social changes have resulted in the area deemed sexual shrinking (clothing that is unremarkable today would have been deemed very blatantly sexual 100 years ago) and the clear dividing line has become the nipple. So an image of part of a woman's breast without the nipple showing might or might not be deemed a sexual image, but an image of a woman's breast with the nipple showing almost always is. It's certainly not going to be approved of for adverts for biscuits.
 
There's nothing wrong with breastfeeding, and in public it's fine too as long as it's not done as some kind of ridiculous protest/attention seeking. Trying to make breastfeeding look sexy is disgusting though.

Context decides whether something is overtly sexual or not, a woman breast-feeding is not sexual, no more than a woman have a breast exam in a surgery or American/African Native women who routinely only wear lower garments.

The same, although to a much lesser degree is true of male nakedness, even only being bare-chested, it would be the context that decides the sexual nature of it, albeit a barechested male is socially more acceptable than a barechested female in most situations in our culture (although not some others).

In any case, it is not as black and white as Female breasts are and Male breasts are not.


As for the advert, it is actually very creative and not in the least way is it offensive. It may be that the subliminal message that a chocolate biscuit is somehow preferable for a child than mothers milk is a not one that we should encouraging in a society blighted by obesity issues, but it is in no way sexual and I do not think the nipple is visible anyway even without the pixelation, not that it would make it sexual even if it was.

Seems a huge outrage fuelled by the Daily Mail and it's ilk for no other reason than to sell copy.

Oreo (kraft) must be over the moon however, all this discussion and debate that mentions the Oreo brand every few minutes....priceless.


now where is that shopping list......


*adds Oreos to list*

If it was a chav breast feeding on a bus with a pink sport jacket, I'd be like "Ewwww, filthy *****. Put it away, you are ethically and morally reprehensible! You utterly disgust and simultaenously repel me. Just because it's natural, doesn't mean it's good! Arsenic is naturally occuring too, does that mean it's good for me? No!"

But if it was a nice middle class lady who was smartly dressed, I'd be like "Sure, whatever. You are the embodiment of all that I worship."


Damn, did I just bring class into this, lol?


Look again at the advert - that's right, it's rubbish. Why we having debatelol?

My favourite biscuit is Jaffa Cakes.

There is nothing offensive about that picture whatsoever.

It's a breast, we all know what they look like and we all know that milk comes out of them so what's offensive about it?

How is it, that showing a natural naked human body is offensive, yet things like violent images are less likely to cause offence?
