"What was strange was they allowed me to keep 12 issues (two years worth, if I remember correctly) but got upset when I cut out pages I liked to put in a scrap-book."
Even Lanning, who IIRC didn't believe in magic Pedo-eye, did believe in the art-world's notion of "appropriating" imagery through recontexting. And who can entirely blame 'em. In theory when Reader's digest is condensing a novel, they're eliminating digressions and aiming to keep the original tone and intent. If someone takes a movie thriller and edits it down to a shower scene, they've transformed the genre, not merely cut the running time. So scrapbooking Vogue Bambini removes bhoys, infants, furniture, those stupid horoscopes and reduces it to child-erotica. Though when Lanning coined the term child-erotica he meant to refer to images which were clearly legal for all to possess but which may indicate, based on how they're collected, a pattern that the possessor is a Pedo. Funny, I thought that ALL men took an interest in LGs' fashion even if they're entirely disinterested in the same designers' work for adult wimmenz. :P I can't wait to see how your math texts illustrated fractions. And BTW, does an LG who is aware of Zeno's paradox ever leave Tanner Stage 1? Dante |
