Censorship Never Shows the Full Picture in Life
Censorship sucks. This 'Finish Line' mural from Icy and Sot got censored because a few select members of the local Orthodox Jewish community felt that the runners shorts were too short.
It sounds ridiculous, especially since there was no sexual or suggestive content in the original mural.
It is sad when the lowest common denominator gets to determine what is allowed in society. Most often times it is
This wall is a good visual example with only the arms and legs sticking out, to show how when one implements a personal program of self censorship, you are limiting yourself to the limbs of knowledge, and you never really view the full body of what is being said.
