Around China : The-Final-Say commented on news Forbidden City Speaks Out Against Nude Photo Shoot

No I do not agree. I fail to see how this man has caused anyone harm except maybe the models should stay off the statues. He was well ahead of the other guests, meaning he made every effort to avoid involving others. I'd have done the same even were I to do a wedding photo shoot, simply because I would not want ...

Around China : The-Final-Say commented on news Photographer Defends Naked Forbidden City Shoot: “My Conscious Is Clear”

This is exactly what I was trying to express to someone named Rachel on the other thread. She said this was objectifying women, a very American style of thinking. Given that in USA you can be sued or fired from work just for having a look at a beautiful girl for more than 3 seconds and she screams harassment, I feel ... Full Comment>>

Two key points, my point of view is mine to believe in and also I don't feel it is right for another to push their value onto me. I am only pushing my point of view to validate that I have my own thinking, not because I want others to be forced to believe in me, nor do I want them to force me to accept their views. ...

I think you are being a bit defensive to say I am being deflective. You seem bent on proving that this man's act very unbecoming of a society but that is your point of view, not mine. Since when is Nudism, which has been around forever, sexualizing and objectifying women? Nudism cannot be responsible for the ... Full Comment>>

This is true, but what about hanging up gi-normous photos of post Imperial leaders at the entranceway of same said locations? I would like to think that shouldn't be there as well if we are so concerned about preserving the sites. Full Comment>>

Key word, "he". I am a man, I will never touch doing photos of nude men because it might send a wrong message about me. That is his hobby. I am an artist myself and while you might think more about what he did, I sincerely doubt he was expecting people to call him up to pimp his models for a "ride" in Tianamen. ... Full Comment>>

I applaud the man for his bravery and open minded attitude towards art, and his models too. I appreciate a woman for her natural beauty. She needn't be naked to show but if she is, well that's how God made her and who are others to judge it? It isn't like we were witnessing the photographer and models in the bushes ... Full Comment>>

Oh please, this is not sexual, it is art. Nobody is gonna get down with the model there in the middle of the courtyard, so this is nothing sexual. If anything this could boost tourism if you had the opportunity to see models creating artwork on such relics. Think of the revenues it could bring. The government is ... Full Comment>>

I think it should also be forbidden to hang over sized mugshots of dead politicians on the entrances of historical relics such as the Forbidden City, especially if said politicians had nothing to do with the building of the place or even lived there and ruled from there. Full Comment>>

I sincerely doubt that the Forbidden City's original designers had intended for someone to have his gigantic mug shot hung up over the entrance. That, in it's own right, is disrespectful to the history of Chinese people pre-dating 1949. Full Comment>>

I guess that the majority of people posting thumbs down have nothing to do or are full of hate.

I always find it very interesting the way people pick their nose and behave about it. They dig very deep up there, pull out all kinds of neat things, then roll into a ball and inspect it like they had just found an artifact from some archeologocal site. Then they fling it like it was some kind of sport. Sometimes, ... Full Comment>>

Sadly, I have witnessed spousal abuse in China, first hand.

I chugged my beer and was about to use the bottle to straighten this guy out when the boss, a ... Full Comment>>

Its not to say who was right or wrong in this scenario. There are culture differences that both sides should understand more before pointing fingers.
