We don't like that kind of thing around here
The RJ is reporting that the city of Las Vegas has removed two pieces of art from a gallery that connects the City Hall to the garage, after receiving an anonymous complaint. I've posted one of the pieces here, which is by Kristin Pinkerton.
From the article:
City Manager Doug Selby said the pictures were taken down because of fears that the city could be sued for violating Title VII.
As Lee said to me, I guess they'd rather be sued for First Amendment violations.
Of course, the real hypocrisy in all of this is that this is happening in Las Vegas, where billboards with almost naked women in lusty poses are de rigeur.
Update: Word is that they are putting them back up today.

you effective champion of constitutional rights, you!
they're putting them back up today. :)
i'm not remotely happy that my simple use of a colon and end parenthesis turned into a yellow happy face.
where do i send anonymous complaints about the content of your blog? and "almost naked women in lusty poses"..? you grew up in utah, didnt you?
only for the first 3 years of my life. i've lived the past 8 years in and around the 8th most liberal city in the country, so I'm pretty sure that undid my time in utah. in fact, the night i celebrated in front of cambridge's city hall when gay marriage was first legalized alone undid my time in utah.
not the best phrasing, but it was an attempt at objectivity. how about "near-nude hotties"?
speaking of best phrasing, I was deeply impressed with the RJ's handling of "plumber's crack:" GLUTEAL CLEFT.
favorite. new. insult.
Marco, next time you paint Lee nude, forget the red scarf, ok?
lee's got a nicer nose than that.
