I've looked through all of the Logonui's on the site, and I really couldn't rate any of them as 'porn' or inappropriate for a general access site.
What I DID see was about half of them using definitely suspect copyright images....I'm sure Escher wouldn't be too happy...and Apple no doubt will send in their storm troopers soon enough...
Not one image there was something you wouldn't see on a television commercial for bras and knickers...[at least in Oz, anyway]...

ok, but some of the Logonui's in question, I did notice that one or two of the Girls were actually completely naked, One such girl showing her breasts. Ok at a side angle not showing her nipples or anything, but still leaving nothing to the imagination.

Other images of girls in bra's and suspenders. Now don't get me wrong, this seems like Soft Porn so far, but how many people get accidently trapped into a site that advertises Porn with the same kind of images. Pictures dipicting Women in this way.

No offence to Red Blooded Men in the Community but I just want minors to be protected from these things.

How many mothers will walk into their sons Bed Room and find either a Half naked Girl as a Logon screen, or worse. Some Dog Do, will hit the pan, as I am not sure every Mum throught the world will appreciate this. ..O~f course depending on the Tolerance of their Mum

Except of course what kind of society does this encourage ? - women to be percieved as 'Meat' on offer for men to drool over ? ok it is very much a moral issue. But Lets have a degree of decency

I accept some of them are not really that graphically strong, and as Some men refer to them as being 'Artisitic' I am not sure I see the Artistic part of this, but that is the age old arguemnt here.

Well I am not trying to be a feminist either. Just want to define what we really see as being acceptible

Call me a red blooded male, but I'm with firestorm on this one. The issue here is parental responsibility. There's plenty of real porn on the available for those willing to seek it out. It is our responsibility to raise out children in such a way that they do not seek it out and when they do, to monitor them and stop it.

k well it makes me wonder if some of these 'Artists' actually had their LAST Girl Friend being a piece of Papaer straight from Play Boy Magazine or some thing. I mean don't these people ever find a Real Girl friend ?? Sorry Just find it 'Perverted'. >

I thought that would hit the spot

There is a huge difference between porn, erotica, art and just plain boring nudity. I guess it's the parent'sresponsabilities to define the difference. If I made a wallpaper showing Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, which of these would that be? When the other day I opened a woman magazine (I forget which one, Vogue or something) and saw a perfume ad showing a woman integrally naked, which on was that? If my son walks into the bathroom just as I step out of the shower, which of these is it? In a few years, when my sons strip down and compare each other, which kind of nudity will that be?

I mean, it's really up to the parent to make the distinction, not society's. Each one's values are different. I personnaly don't believe in sexual asepsis, nor into showing the human body as a bad or dirty thing. These are my personal values, but other people's are different. If a movie or a web site contains some nudity, I, as a parent, should be the only deciding if it's appropriate or not for my children, not the government, some Church or any kind of moral police.

My 2 cents.

No matter what form of control you would like to see, for someone it will be wrong and a cause for rebellion. The more that legislation is used to enforce morality the more it is open to abuse and repression. Not only as regards porn but all types of behavior and thought. It happens so often that the most vocal protectors of our morality get exposed at some point as perverted and hypocritical. The potential for wrong thinking generating bad laws that foster political repression is too great a risk.

We don't need morality police, we need moral people. As Donovan said "the whole wide world has taken far too much methedrine".

nudity is a part of the world, yes some find it offensive and some find it art. The images I saw on the above site are not explicite sexual content and a lot less graphic than most of what you can see in a fine art museum. If the legal system is to decide what is moral and should be monitored, eliminated, locked away, then we are all in trouble, for there will be no end. If the images are not of an explicite sexual nature, underage, abusive, and etc then I personally do not see any problems. If we start doing monitoring then we become like the public school system that decided Alice in wonderland was not aloud to be in a library because it has reference to drugs. Totally closing ones eyes to all of lifes content brings about more problems that the chance exposure to something mild. Personally I think the few images of nudity on that site are very mild and less then what is scene on TV, MTV, and all age over the counter magazines. I have seen worse in my GF's vogue magazines. I can understand some people may be offended by the brief exposed flesh, but at the same time, going to a beach is a lot more revealing in some aspects. Sexuality is part of human nature and we all have out own views on what is correct and what is wrong, I guess the goal is to find a happy medium, something that general society can except in part. Since the net is a global community we must also take that into account. In some ways the US has a very closed mind on nudity compared to many other countries.

So the question is, does the display of a single beings form in a none sexual act really deserve such harsh critism?

I believe that there is a difference between nuditity and porn. I don't believe that those images were at the porn level but on the other hand these are images that I would not want my children to have access too.

My children are at a young enough age that I can easily moderate the content that they view. However as they get older it will be tougher.

What I think would be right is for BoomGames to rate their site as having sexual content. So that way if I choose to use any filters I would not have to worry about my children stumbling accross that site.

BTW....the word is 'acceptable'....

I am much more disturbed by the amount of gore and violence in certain wallpapers, than I am by showing a woman in a bikini. But for some reason, no one would even think of rating these as adult content...

Good point paxx....didn't think about that.
