The delicate sensibilities of some good citizens of Singapore were offended recently by a store-front advertisement for Abercrombie & Fitch. It showed the naked torso of a young man in rather good health, as shown below. (Photo from the Straits Times.)
While the young man's genitals were not on display, the righteous watchdogs of the nation felt that there was too much suggestion that he did, in fact, possess such an organ. I wonder whether these same guardians of virtue would object to the exhibition of Michelangelo's David in public view on the same sidewalk. Great art, but -- tsk tsk -- those genitals! Perhaps the young man in the ad could lend David his pants?
