Maybe not for you - but for many cultures and social circles it is very
offensive. Nudity - regardless of whether you can see all of the women's
breasts - is not acceptable in many circumstances, and many would
regard a group of obviously naked men and women together as simply wrong.
You may not have a problem with it - that is your opinion and your right
- but please accept that many people do have a problem with it - and
that is their opinion and their right too.
We all need to respect each other's opinions if this is to go anywhere.
People are welcome to say "I don't have a problem with it", but some
people (not you specifically - I just picked this thread to respond to)
seem to be saying "_You_ shouldn't have a problem with this" - and that
is unhelpful and intolerant.
Just my opinion - please excuse me sounding off!
(For those who do have a problem with it, some of us on this list are
discussing creating an alternative (unofficial) CD without the images if
required - that way hopefully both those who like it and those who don't
will be a little happier!).
