Theres an underlying inference that erotica is somehow wrong or perverted or ? Queen Victoria thought so, and so it carries on. It'll take a few more generations, but at least the parade puts it out for scrutiny (the idea I mean)

Not from em there isn't - I love the stuff.

But when the parade "co-incides" with the erotica expo every year, costing some of the hard working businesses in Queen Street (as well as the employers of the 80,000 people that took time off to show up)... I call BS.

Freedom of speech - no problems. Freedom of expression - again - no problems.

I start to have problems when anyone chooses to:
* Put adult subject matter in front of kids too young to understand and/or put it in context...
* Pretend it's just a parade when it's as plain as the nose on your face that it's an ad from erotica (how many were wearing erotica promotional material?)
* Have me as a tax payer help foot the bill (if it'd gotten a permit - which it didn't)
* Run the parade (aka advertising) illegally - in the absence of a permit - which the councilsensibly denied because they saw it as the marketing ploy it obviously is...

I reckon ACC should test the waters by giving Steve Crow a permit to run the parade on the week AFTER Erotica...

Doctors. At least all of mine have been. Female, that is.
My mum is doing a PHD, I really don't see the connection you are trying to make.
Particularly considering guys work in the same industry as these girls, it just so happens that the people who watch that kind of stuff tend to be gay not female

I think this thread just embarked on the Sea of Surreality

Seems that a lot of people were very ho-hum amout this years 'show'.

Uncle Steve has promised to better next year and is planning "gashes on Gixxers's" for September 2009.

It's the old Christian thing where they're taught that sex is BAD and you will burn

in the eternal fires of hell if you do it for anything other than procreation. For women especially, if you enjoy it you're a wanton hussy. It's only to please your husband and you must lay there and think of England.

I agree 100% Goblin - that is exactly what I think......when it comes down to it, excess eating causes more ill health than excess sex......always assuming that the sex is "safe" sex....(means use the bus shelter...)
Perhaps we should ban all food advertising on the grounds that it is "bad for you"......

Dunno about banning all food advertising...those Burger King ads are pretty raunchy and we all know that "Sex Sells". Wouldn't mind if those Jenny Graig and Subway ads were banned tho.

Okay, fuck it, I'm going to put in my 2 cents...

I rode through the bottom of town on the way back to the office yesterday - all I saw were middle aged guys who had the look of naughty school boys on their way to Queen street in order to see naked boobs. Now, I actually don't give a rats ass about the boobs - but it makes me scratch my head, so many guys showing so little class leering on the sidelines. I have an issue with the guys who objectify women as being sex toys or whatever. If the girls are stupid enough to get into the industry, it's their choice. If the guys are stupid enough to stand on the sidelines, again, it's their choice.

You wouldn't catch me there.

Oh, the fun part of yesterday, going along beach road back to Parnell - filtered past a row of traffic, middleaged guy in a ute at the front took exception - so I left them behind. Sitting at the next set of lights, even though I was correctly placed in the lane, ute pushes alongside me to make his point. So I rolled forward, backed the gixer up and for some reason experienced a momentary lose of traction for about 10 seconds peppering middleage fucktard with stones and rubber. Then got off the scoot and went back to ask him if he still had a problem.

Seems he didn't have a problem any more. I think he wet himself.

Yep, it was tacky and lacked any style or substance. I don't think anyone who posted disparaging opinions of the event here was pontificating about moral standards etc. But I do think the individuals that took offence, thinking that is what was meant, might be having some internal value system conflicts....
