Thanks. My wife has a problem with some of the stuff they do on the show. But my retort is usually; At the end, the still love each other.

I just ate-stop that!

The only naked woman that's offensive is an inanimate one.

You're just askin' for a Helen pic...

Why are they called mannequins if they are female? They should be called femalequins.

If they are on a motorbike, are they harlequins?

He's putting them in store windows now, Peg!

uh, What's offensive about a naked mannequin? Why would you feel forced to turn a child's head away? There are no genitalia on a mannequin. What would be the difference between a naked mannequin and one with a bikini painted on? Or one with a skimpy bikini at that. BTW, better not take the kids in Sears--they might be changing a mannequin in public.

IMHO, Americans in general have a bizarre hangup when it comes to nakedness. Guns, violence, blood, destruction, drugs, and all manner of perversion are perfectly OK for kids to watch on TV, but a naked body is shunned and protested. Now we can't even allow them to see a naked mannequin? Obviously some people don't have enough to worry about.

re; #24

Well, there are many people who are offended, whether you like it or not, and it is a disgusting, petty, childish thing for a grown man to do -- offend an entire neighborhood just because he can't get the town council to issue him a permit to open a beauty parlor(?)across the street from an elementary school. It takes a special kind of twisted pervert to do that.

By the way, before you start with a bunch of false assumption about me -- naked mannequins per se do not offend me; but putting them in obviously "sexual" positions for kids to see does.

The man is a lowlife pig.

Here is a detailed review.

www.pluggedin.com reviews new releases and will tell you postive/negative, language, sexual content. Then you can decide for yourself if it is something you want your kids to see. It has been a great resource for us.

Wow, talk about the archives. He’s now 10 and we stopped watching the Simpsons years ago. What made you go back to this post?

[christianhomeschoolmommaof3]

Lol, I was paying attention to the date. I did a search for something relevant to today and this article came up. Sorry! *blushes*

I had no idea that the Simpson’s movie came out that long ago. So did you go see it?

[christianhomeschoolmommaof3]

WASN’T paying attention to the date.

[stevio]

No. I think my wife does use that website for the very limited number of movies we see.
