The Most Wonderful Time of the Year
Today is International Blasphemy Day! I love holidays like this. For one thing, I am a huge supporter of free speech and this is an opportunity to express free speech in a creative way that hopefully sends a powerful message to those who need it most. For this reason, I consider it among the most wonderful times of the year.
If you don’t know what Blasphemy Day is or why it started, I posted an Examiner article on that yesterday. For me, the only thing that is really blasphemous to me is when religious believers attempt to restrict free speech or when they complain that certain forms of speech are indecent. This is why films today have almost no nudity and very little sexuality. There are whole organizations dedicated to preventing “indecency” in the entertainment industry and every other industry too.
Since sexuality drives these religious believers so crazy, I decided to put together a small gallery of the sexiest blasphemy photos I could find on the web (without nudity because the religious have partially won this war already) in my latest Examiner article. Please check it out and pass it around to all your favorite social networks.
What I would love to do is over the next few years, start taking back that partial victory that the religious believers have won. I want to see anti-nudity and indecency laws repealed.
Yeah, there are countries where the laws are so extreme that people are jailed for life, tortured, and/or killed for indecency crimes. But that doesn’t mean that we don’t have work to do here in America too. No one in America gets the death penalty for being topless but there still shouldn’t be restricted from being topless. In fact, while HBO and other premium television channels feature topless actresses, they never show men’s penises? Why not? My wife wants to know. Quite frankly, she is right and I think these stations should show men’s genitalia too.
When was the last time you saw full frontal male nudity in a mainstream film? Over the last twenty years there has been less female nudity in mainstream films too. This is because the religious fundamentalists have organized and have been successful. Now it is our turn. Blasphemy Day is our opening volley.
