Germany mourns a porn composer

Alexander says:

I don’t think anybody is disputing that, at least not anybody posting on this thread. I’m certainly not. There are two points here. First, when illustrating somebody’s obituary, it is normal to illustrate it with a picture of the deceased, not a photo of somebody, clothed or otherwise, who acted in a film for which that person composed music. Were Korngold’s obituaries illustrated with photos of Errol Flynn? I suspect not. Secondly, there is a convention on he internet that material which may be inappropriate to access in public places will be identified as such at a stage before the image is visible to the end user. It’s not about people disliking breasts, or thinking that they are anything other than beautiful or natural, but about respecting the fact that some people work in very conservative environments where this sort of thing could cause problems. But I think the fundamental problem here is that this is supposed to be a notification of somebody’s death, and illustrating that story with a photo of a topless woman is just cheap sensationalism which detracts from the real story while merely providing a gratuitous opportunity for some readers to admire a nice pair of breasts, an image which is not exactly in short supply on the internet.

Günther, your dick wouldn’t disturb me the least. But if you can’t see the difference between an old picture of a girl with nothing on on top and your dick something is seriously wrong with you. These kind of pictures were everywhere in the seventies and we survived without injuries.
