Art monthly, the MRI, and the kid’s museum

Balneus - July 11, 2008 - 8:44pm

The the populist furore over art and p**n, I wonder if images such as this taken in an MRI for legitimate scientific purposes will become prohibited.  (Hat tip Pharyngula)

I also wonder if one of my daughter’s favorite exhibits (when she was pre-school) in the old Melbourne museum (dunno if the exhibit is in the new museum) will become prohibited.  While she liked the live bees in the glass hive, and the unrolled gut with “poo” (and sounds) coming out the end, she also really liked the lifesized naked statues of children, parents (one in a wheelchair) and grandparents, with kids encouraged, as with all other exhibits in the Children’s Museum, to touch and learn.

And what about books to teach children about their bodies and how they change?  Will they be banned, or only able to be sold to librarians.

<sarcasm>Maybe we should simply make all children where the Hijab</sarcasm>.
