Actually, no, I don't believe that they are doing it for shock value or to
get a rise out of me. If that were the case, it would bespeak an
understanding that those types of images CAN be construed as having shock
value or that there is some reason they would get a rise out of anyone.
That would be a good understanding. The thing I don't like is the
UN-thinking nature of the postings.
I understand from your posts that you have a pro-porn perspective, which
is certainly a fine position to take. However, I feel a distinctly
unfriendly atmosphere if I walk into a place that has girlie pictures all
over the walls. I do not think that most places (unless clearly
demarcated) that are inviting to both males and females generally have
adult pictures plastered up.
