RANT: Of Magazines and Man Ass


Yesterday we were going to a restaurant near my house with my dad, mom, and littlest brother (little brother in baseball tryouts). My mom, brother, and me got there first, so we went to the local travel agency.

My mom has to go back to Mexico because my grandma is having heart problems. They're going to see a doctor. The trip should be in about two weeks.

Being the reader I am, I decide to flip through some of the travel magazines, and there's one on Mexico. I flip through it, and all the places are there- Veracruz, Baja California Sur, etc. I decide to look at last summer's vacation spot- Cancun.

Lo and behold, there is an ad. The title is inviting you to go to Cancun to flirt. There is a page-size picture of a girl in a bikini chasing a guy who has had his pants lowered. There are two man ass cheeks staring out. No censorship whatsoever.

Similar to Breastgate last Super Bowl, there was no prior notice of man ass being revealed in this issue, or any adult content for that matter. You just turn the page and WHAM! cheeks three and four. If I had wanted man porn, I would have asked for man porn.

WTF is with the media pushing the nudity nowadays? Sure, anyone has an attraction to erotica (of the opposite sex, unlike this case) but nobody asked for it. This is not what I expected from a freaking magazine.

There's a difference between babies and man ass.

The ad also encouraged you to leave your kids behind and flirt, like Las Vegas (read: Sodom and Gomorrah)

And would you be moaning if it were the girls ass? I presume so, so it confuses me why you keep saying 'man's ass' as if it makes a difference if its a guys or a gals. And where did you get that bit about kids from? From your description, the add had nothnig to do with children.

why should an arse be censored? Did you gag up in Matrix 2 when your saw Keanu's ass? Why? They are two pieces of flesh, no different to an arm except in their shape. I think humanity has a bit of a problem when they start bitching about seeing a tiny bit of natural felsh. I dont get why it bothers you, or anyone.

There's a difference between artistic nudity, and pornographic/sexual nudity.

If anything this world needs more nudity and less violence. You know that saying, "make love, not war". Recently the fanatical over-protective mentality has taken over.

I still dont see what is wrong with it. I dont get why anyone could find it offensive. How is seeing a guys ass anymore 'offensive', somehow, than seeing the majority of the women in the bikini's breasts?

*sigh* The man ass part is for humor, like man penis.

And yes, I probably would be upset if it were female. I didn't ask for it, it was thrown to me. THAT'S the problem.

Alot of things are "thrown" to you rather than being asked.

Just because you have a very big problem with a guy's ass, doesn't mean everyone will make so much of it.

Oh yeah, you're British. NM then, the Americas and Europe are polar opposites when it comes to nudity and violence.

I disagree with both statements - They are not polar opposites, and I'm not fuckin British, I'm Canadian. Why in hell would you think that I was English...

And don't say Canada's attitude is totally different from America's when it comes to nudity, because we are more alike than some of us would want to be.

PS: Don't mean that I think Americans are bad, I just wish more of us Canadians were more patriotic.

What ever happened to dignity, and self-respect?

I hate how nowadays people can't seem to get any respect unless they take their kit off.
