A very close friend sent me this picture at the weekend. The caption was:
“Michelangelo’s famous statue, David, returns to Italy this week after a successful 12 week, 20 city, US tour.”
Thankfully… there is no legislation to prevent us – yet – from making jokes about fat statues.
I am grateful to, James C, a regular commenter on my blog (and on Geeklawyer’s blog) for this link from the Financial Times: “Equality control”.
Everything a civil libertarian (and anyone else fed up with over regulated politically correct nonsense) needs to know about what has NOT yet been regulated:
I nearly wet myself laughing. Please warn us in future
Careful, Charon, Sir… it’s us fat-bottomed girls who make the world go around! My assets are all natural, no additives, which makes me a curvy woman, rather than a two-dimensional Size Zero WAG-wannabe!

Helga – I agree nothing wrong with curves – but did enjoy the pic of David!
Lol… yes, David does look more representative of man today!
Helga… I’m reasonably slim …. but could do with some toning… inevitably.
Charon… I am sure you’re a fine specimen of a man!
LOVE THAT PICTURE!!!
Thanks so much for sharing!!

Again… my friend froma land far away is to thank for that pic.
If you think Jurassic Park, Helga… I have always maintained, without much resistance, that sound is far better than vision….. in my case.
The good old days….. wonderful…. but… one day, we shall all be being dug up by some bloody archaeolgist on Time Team or from the Disocevery Channel.
Although I am still quite keen on being plastinated by that extraordinary german anatomist / doctor who cuts up bodies for our delectation and delight on Channel 4. I just hope he doesn’t light a match near my body when he comes to start cutting me open.
My Dear Charon,
Is that not our good friend Charlie Falconer disrobed?
James C – While Charlie appears to have gone to ground, I cannot see him standing around all day like some mime artist in Covent Garden.
