Yesterday facebook labeled at least some if not all of the boobquake photos indecent and pulled them from the site.<\/p>\n<p>For those who don\u2019t know what Boobquake is, please check out my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/x-8928-Philadelphia-Atheism-Examiner~y2010m4d26-Atheists-try-to-create-a-boobquake\" target=\"_blank\">examiner article<\/a>. I am pretty sure that the administrators of facebook weren\u2019t worries that all the photos of partially covered breasts would cause an earthquake under the facebook servers. So why were these photos taken down?<\/p>\n<p>Yes, they obviously were a violation of Sharia Law, but that was the whole point. Breasts aren\u2019t actually dangerous and these breasts were partially covered anyway.<\/p>\n<p>I posted a photo on behave of Dangerous Talk to the boobquake page. This was a photo taken of Dangerous Talk supporter Sachiko McLean. I actually had the choice of posting a fully nude version, but decided that it might be too great a risk if children saw it, there eyes might literally pop out of their sockets. I didn\u2019t want to be responsible for blinding anyone.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I know it sounds silly. I don\u2019t think nude women cause eye balls to pop out of their sockets either. That would make about as much sense as the claim that immodestly dressed women cause earthquakes. Still, facebook pulled down many of these boobquake photos including the Dangerous Talk photo. Why?<\/p>\n<p>I know the reason they gave, but it is just unreasonable. They claimed the photos were indecent. What about them makes them indecent? Why are they indecent? What makes something indecent, anyway? They didn\u2019t cause any earthquakes nor did they cause people\u2019s eyes to pop out of their sockets. So what\u2019s the big deal?<br \/>\n<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN --><br \/>\n<a onclick=\"return addthis_sendto()\" onmouseover=\"return addthis_open(this, '', '[URL]', '[TITLE]')\" onmouseout=\"addthis_close()\" href=\"http:\/\/www.addthis.com\/bookmark.php?v=250&amp;pub=dangeroustalk\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: 0;\" src=\"http:\/\/s7.addthis.com\/static\/btn\/lg-share-en.gif\" alt=\"Bookmark and Share\" width=\"125\" height=\"16\" \/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/s7.addthis.com\/js\/250\/addthis_widget.js?pub=dangeroustalk\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- AddThis Button END --><\/p>\n<div class=\"linkwithin_hook\" id=\"http:\/\/www.dangeroustalk.net\/?p=998\"><\/div><script>\n<!-- \/\/LinkWithinCodeStart\nvar linkwithin_site_id = 317364;\nvar linkwithin_div_class = \"linkwithin_hook\";\n\/\/LinkWithinCodeEnd -->\n<\/script>\n<script src=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/widget.js\"><\/script>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/pixel.png\" alt=\"Related Posts Plugin for WordPress, Blogger...\" style=\"border: 0\" \/><\/a><!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday was Boobquake and even though we don\u2019t live in a Muslim nation and hopefully no one in America actually thinks boobs cause earthquakes, breasts are still considered dangerous.
