Facebook game, facebook rules!!! The problem is not in your draws but in the people’s mind, so, we can do nothing. This society is based in fake morals and values, so, children can´t see nudity (or anything like that), but they all days in television see, violence, explicit sex, corruption and many other things, so, compare with that, a naked body is just something so simple and natural, it’s just our body, it look’s in the most of cases, the same thing for everybody.<br />I like your work very much<br />Kisses Yes is very pathetic, the same as happened to me, but do what?

They removed a different picture of mine from there some months ago before I had a website, that worried me a little as it was my only place to post things and 'network'. But now, I can put it elsewhere, and somewhere more credible too. I just felt like I should say something as they mentioned deleting my account, which annoyed me.<br /><br />Mr Fantastic, I know what you mean. They even have bands on there with offensive names and even more questionable music, but that doesn't seem to be an issue. <br /><br />And the sex and nudity thing drives me crazy! People should be able to embrace nudity and not feel ashamed of it. *Edited due to spelling mistake!*

This happened with some of my work as well...<br />They said that myspace was visited by young people and that this type of image was not permited. It's a bunch of BS...<br />Publish your basic work and leave it alone, myspace is not made for exhibiting art work, it's good for making new contacts and giving news but that's about all. If you have new work you want to show just publish new links on your front page. As long as it's not porno you shouldn't have any trouble. Myspace is like prime time tv!... Hi Lily, don't worry about it. This happened with some of my work as well…
