LAist: The Daily Show gets nude and gold

Thursday, January 05, 2006

When I heard that the Daily Show was going to get nude, I was quite happy to hear the news. Problem with such news is, its not often quite correct.

The story is really in reference to Jon Stewart's selection as host of this year's Oscars. The nude in this story is the Oscar itself -- only its not exactly a nude as all the right bits are not in all the right places.

Fri, Sept 23, 2005 - Should nude photographs be considered art or pornography?

"Nude photography is, in my opinion, pornography. From a moral point of view, I think that the naked human body, portrayed in a photograph, incites lust -- which is condemned expressly in the Bible (I John 2:16). The human body is beautiful; it is a work of art in its own right. But the body does not need to be displayed nude to show its magnificence. More...

Thu, Aug 25, 2005 - Prudishness is one thing; censorship quite another

Europe's light and easygoing approach to sex and nudity can provide some shocking moments for U.S. travelers: � On a recent trip, my wife and I had to take the TV out of our children's hotel room, as the porn stations were free and available, going at it right there between Euro-sports and MTV. � In Munich, workers take a summer lunch break in their Central Park.

Thu, Aug 25, 2005 - Clothing optional when beating heat

To me, the outdoors involves weather. We often complain that it is too cold or too hot, not the optimum �just right� made famous by that little darling, Goldilocks.

Sat, Aug 11, 2005 - You can leave your hat on

A man squirts a puddle of suntan lotion, rubs his palms together and goes to work on the Rubenesque calves of the 50-something blond. Her face goes all dreamy as the suntanned hands of this 30-something Javier, Marco or Philippe knead that soft spot behind the knee. Magic fingers inch up the fleshy thigh that jiggles, wiggles and squiggles. He reaches the border where the bathing suit should be, but there's no bathing suit. More...
