Phong - I never said that it offended me that it was posted to the LUG. I read Kyle's warning and looked at it anyway. I don't blame Kyle at all. In fact, I agree with him that the cheesecake type photographs taken by some glamor photographers are even more offensive. That doesn't mean that I like these photographs, though. In both cases the subjects of the photographs seem to me to be exploited objects rather than human beings. That is my definition of pornography.
