Kecik’s Cozy Corner

A few weeks ago, a well-known local artist Bill Henson had to have his exhibition put on hold because he had shots of underage girls posing nude for his show. It caused an uproar in both the art world as well as amongst parents because of what was involved. Art lovers stood firmly by him saying that this is purely art and the parents of these girls had given him permission to photograph their daughters and that the girls were aware of what was going on.

On the other hand, many parents and parent groups were appalled that this exhibition was to take place because they considered it pornography. And I guess they were happy when it was put on hold but it did bring about a lot of issues. And for the next couple of weeks, that was all that was on telly!

I personally agree with most parents here that it was totally unnecessary for him to photography those young girls nude. After all, I assume he wanted to capture the ‘innocence’ and the young bodies that they have but, even at 18, a lot of young women still have that ‘innocence’ left. Not all women were born with jugs that could poke your eyes out. And with their faces blurred, who is to know how old the model are? I think it’s all a matter of perspective.

Many documentaries brought up this topic and in one of them [can't remember which one] even mentioned that with the rising number of paedophiles around, its possible that nappy ads will no longer be allowed to air. And the sad thing is, the police recently busted a huge ring of paedophiles here in Australia and among them were teachers!! That is just utterly sick because he was directly involved with children at school. Makes you think what runs through his mind the whole day - yucks!!

It’s just utterly sick that such people exists and they get kicks out of watching children. Major yuckness! I guess this makes me really think twice about putting up pictures of Arianna having her bath or playing in the pool. Although I make sure that she is totally ‘decent’ and if not, there will definitely be a starfish at the appropriate places, I can’t help but think if her photos have been used for the wrong reasons.

I can’t understand what they see or what they get out of looking at naked kids other than the fact that babies have really cute bums. And they just look so cute in their birthday suit but other than that, how can anyone have sexual gratification out of that?!?!?! I just don’t get it….

However, like I said, it does worry me and I intend to be more aware of what I put up these days. You just can’t be too careful in this day and age. SO many sickos out there! *blek*
