Raphael, you slutmonger!

On my recent post about my 3-year blogiversary (is that word in the dictionary yet?), I snagged a bunch of images out on the 'net that had a "3" theme, and reposted them to my Photobucket space. I didn't think any of them were obscene. Apparently, Photobucket disagrees. They have a more "John Ashcroft" attitude about it. Here's the image below that caused them to replace it with the image on the right. Renaissance porno.

It is called "Three Graces" and was painted during the Italian High Renaissance (around 1501) by Raphael. Yes... I suppose it does contain nudity, so that violated the terms of service, and I respect that. It's a free service that they are offering to me, and they can make their own rules. I am not dissing them for that. I wonder if they would allow this image, since there is a naked baby Jesus in it?

EDIT later in the morning: I didn't even realize when I posted this that it was John Ashcroft's birthday! So that "IMAGE VIOLATION" thing was like Photobucket's Happy Birthday e-card to him. Here's mine.

I am sure a very deep symbolic meaning to the fact that none of the graces has taken a bite from them red apples yet. Something in the line of they are contemplating temptation but have not yet given to it - so maybe Photobucket should allow this profane image, after all?...

OH I am laughing so hard I shouldn't even try to type...who knew the 1506 version of Three Bitchin' Babes was so titillating!! LOL!

I remember that Ashcroft thing with the liberty boob floating above his head! Still on the list of best media moments EVER.

Happy weekend to you!

There's no boobies like Medieval boobies.
