How much is that scanky mannequin in the window ?
The one that is showing her tail.
Oh how much is that scanky mannequin in the window ?
I do hope that scanky fake chick is for sale.

The old saying goes, “Sex sells”. If you don’t believe it, just turn on the tv, or read practically any magazine. This is the direction that all advertising is heading. Why? Because the public wants it. Things sure have changed in the last 50 years, and not for the better, either.
 
Did you notice that Barbara Wilson and her girlfriend thought it was exciting. GROSS!!!

We should be careful not minimize one sin, particularly sins of the flesh, that are so rampant in this culture.

My point is a simple one, where does the greater evil lay? Exposing that which God made or, mulitating that which God made?

Unfortunately we often seem to get hung up about sex and it’s public exposition (personally I don’t feel comfortable with it and will happily ignore it) but we seldom seem to get upset about the number of people, both adults and children who die or are maimed for life because of our actions. So why is that?

Agreed. Films in the UK seem to get a ‘15’ certificate now even with some pretty extreme violence or bad language, whereas even a small amount of sex/nudity seems to bump the rating up to ‘18’. The question of what should be in films in the first place aside, there is definitely a double standard in operation - violence is more ‘acceptable’ than sex/nudity.

It is not an either/or, but a both/and. Pornography is part of the culture of death and is not simply exposing what God made.

The answer would be to raise the standard, not lower it.

The bar should be level, or even the other way around (a depiction of consensual sex is much more palatable than a killing shooting spree, in my opinion).

Where the bar should be placed is a different question. It is the discrepancy in it that I was commenting upon.

Non marital graphic displays of “sex” are equally as bad as gratuitous violence.

Our Lady of Fatima said more souls fall to hell from sins of the flesh than any other sins.
 
I’ve seen much more provacative displays at Abercrombie and Finch. Other than the ususal stupid-looking and unnatural poses, there’s not much difference than the typical Victoria’s Secret display. I honestly don’t see why this one deserves more attention.

Fornication is hardly as severe a sin as murdering someone.

Both are mortal and can kill the soul.

Of course both are mortal - but that doesn’t mean the one is as serious as the other.

It is a bit of a Hobson’s choice. Would one desire to send oneself to hell through fornication or murder?

While one may be more serious in some theological sense, the end result is the same. Why pit one against the other?

You had to see it to believe it I guess. Many mall shoppers likened it to Amsterdam’s red light district. A&F couldn’t compete with this one.

Obviously many mall shoppers have never been to Amsterdam.

Airbrushing out Christianity by calling Christmas the ‘holidays’ or whatever similar nonsense sometimes comes under the banner of political correctness, though I don’t think that was the original point either.

So you say its okay to Airbrush Christianity by calling Christmas the ‘holidays’? Modernist heresy if I saw one. Do you realize that the same businesses who say ‘happy holidays’ are same ones who neglected to allow a Christian float in their parades like Macy’s for example? Or did I just miss that?

No, it is one of these abused terms now that people use to mean just about anything they don’t like, like ‘Nazi’, ‘liberal’, ‘socialist’, ‘feminist’, ‘neo-conservative’, etc. etc.

Wikipedia lacks credibility.
Sophism - is someon who rejects Catholic truth through devious reasoning. That’s Sophism.
