I agree, but here I ask another question. Are the photographers for Playboy and Playgirl magazines artists? I believe they are. If their work was published in a...more artistic way, i.e., on display in an artshow at an art museum, they would be artists, would they not? However, their work is published in magazines with the intent to arouse and such, thus making the pics pornography.

Uhh...actually, this is what really got me thinking about this to the point of posting a topic about it... ...though, Donatello's David is rather wimpy looking. Nice hat, though. My mom thought Donatello's David was a girl...until she looked down. *giggles*
