Magazine Advertisement Teeters With Possible Illicit Child Picture

Filed under: Uncategorized — grappledoctor @ 6:58 pm

Ebony Magazine page 49 has an advertisement for a product which has a picture of a topless woman and a baby. This picture assumes the woman is the mother.
The nude child is used only to equate the products use on an adult’s skin to the skin texture of a newborn. Recently, a couple from Arizona was “turned in” for inappropriate vacation photos. Also, several years ago, Calvin Klein had questionable ads involving nude adults and Brooke Shields. Artistry is considered “pushing the envelope” when group nude photos are taken (all adults but…). Maplethorp was an artist who had nudes, urinating, and more vile(?) photos which were on display in museums. The need for guidelines is now. The message about truly bad behavior is greyed when examples like the above are allowed.

2nd Annual International Jewish Bloggers Convention

Filed under: 2nd,b'nefesh,bloggers,convention,international,jewish,nefesh — grappledoctor @ 12:37 am



I am excited to announce I have signed up to attend this incredible event today. The first convention took place last year which I had to miss because of timing constraints. The lineup looks terrific and the opportunity to mingle amongst fellow Jewish bloggers is too great to pass up a second time. If an award is given for the blogger who attends from the greatest distance, I will be in the running for first place! Defending Israel through social media is the session I am looking forward to the most. While I have been a longtime defender of Israel since this blog’s inception, the opportunity to get information firsthand to further my effort is the most precious. The “Scottish Jew” is in constant contact with me, but his aloof nature leads me to believe he will not attend with me. I can’t imagine what this convention will ingrain in my persona, but I hope it meets all my expectations. Would I miss this convention a second time knowing that the current affairs of world stage politics is so tumultuous? Don’t be rucking fidiculous! (And if you see me there, say hello. Not doing it is ridiculous!)http://www.nbn.org.il/
