P-Bucket hates artwork with butts showing


Awhile back I had to replace the above image stored on Photobucket that had been removed for obvious indecency (who's the censor over there? John Ashcroft?). It is called "Three Graces" and was painted during the Italian High Renaissance (around 1501) by Raphael. Well, just recently I discovered that they had also removed the one on the right - an ad (this one from 1958) that Coppertone has plastered all over magazines, billboards and in many other very public places using various versions of the same ad. We all grew up looking at this ad! I used it in a post from last Summer called "Heliophobia," where I also used the image below. So far, they have not removed that one... probably because it does not contain a classic painting or illustration featuring a female butt.

I back up all the stuff I put online now. I put it on picassa, which is Google's photo sharing website, and then I also put in on Flickr. Flickr is acting like an asshole, they are deleting all kinds of scanned stuff and they got 4 or 5 of my sets. Once they get me though, I put the stuff back up.
