Woodpecke® | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 06:17 pm     Most of the nudity related to BB3 houseguests requires me to get really close to my monitor and stare for an extremely long time to get the full effect of what I am trying to see. Research. Yep. |
Turner97 | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 06:30 pm     woodpecke® didn't you mean to put that in the complaints thead? |
Meggieprice | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 06:38 pm     Breezy-hide yur eyes and ears for this one... Why does everyone think Roddy is so small? Saw a pic on the link we got on this thread (LOL) that doesn't look that way to me... Gawd, I am obviously way too bored. |
Woodpecke® | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 06:43 pm     Maybe you are used to the less than girthy version of the male anatomy, Meggie. (haha!) |
Twiggyish | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 06:48 pm     In all fairness, his flag wasn't flying..so it's hard to tell size..(just saying) |

"So I can see your side, but I am just amazed that this whole "nude pic" format was ever accepted by the televsion stations at all." Actually, the *television station* hasn't accepted it at all. They never show any nudity (unless you count those really tacky PB bathing suits) on CBS. ASP Productions produces the show, most likely in accordance with CBS. And also:
"And finally the thing that concerns me is that so many people find nothing wrong with people being filmed nude and posting pics to the internet. This reflects to me the continuing decline of morals and values in America. We are becoming increasingly desensitized to issues of this nature, so that when one voices an objection to something of this kind, ridicule is a common result." I'm not sure if anyone was ridiculing you, Breezy. But there are a lot of people who do not think our morals and values are declining. At least, I don't think so with regards to the occasional nudity on the LIVE FEEDS of BB3. I also, personally, am not offended by nudity at all. Once, in my not-so-distant youth, I campaigned for our swimsuit optional beach here in San Diego. Nude. And was filmed for the local news coverage. (Of course, they were sensitive to their TV viewers and only showed me from the shoulders up.) So, I do believe that BB has been handled with sensitivity. The nudity is not shown on national television. You have to pay to see the live feeds. And, as always, if you don't like it, you can turn it off or cancel the feeds. As for the numerous sites with screen caps, yeah, that's prurient interest. But again (and as with the proliferation of X rated sites), viewing is optional. If it's offensive -- or if there is even a remote possibility that it might be -- don't go there. I respect your values, Breezy. I hope you respect mine. |
Costacat | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 06:55 pm     Caution: Slightly risque totally tongue-in-cheek content follows. Meggie, hon... I think we had this discussion way back when that pic first appeared. And I think I remember saying: One word: SHRINKAGE I'm sure that his size would "change" if he were, say, excited to see me (or you). But, in the state in which he was photographed, he was not at all impressive. Nor was I impressed. |
Woodpecke® | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 06:57 pm     Nice job, Costacat! |
Twiggyish | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 07:00 pm     Costa..Yup, half-mast...LOL |
Crossfire | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 07:13 pm     So size does matter. Dammit, I knew they were lying all along.

Lovemarc | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 07:17 pm     The naked body is nothing to be ashamed of. Nudity is good. |
Closetfan | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 07:17 pm     I liked what I saw...and I'm sure it gets better with the proper motivation...if this is unmotivated...call me a motivational speaker! |
Twiggyish | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 07:18 pm     "Rod"dy. (sheesh, where's my brain tonight..LOL) |
Lovemarc | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 07:22 pm     It looks to be average size, but you never know what you're getting without a thorough examination. |
Highdesertgal | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 07:24 pm     My brother told me that one time Sponge Bob Squarepants was shown in his jockey shorts. Is nothing sacred? |
Squaredsc | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 07:28 pm     omg, you all are 2 funny. and cross, size doesn't matter, its all in the movement. but there did seem to be some shrinkage. (at least i hope it was shrinkage.) <grin> |
Halfunit | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 07:36 pm     "It's not the size of the wand, but the magic within it." Ummmmm..... yeah, that's it... |
Letmeinthere | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 07:39 pm     I can only imagine the type of person who would take a job sitting in the dark, behind glass just filming people and making sure they get shots of them nude. One word: Perverts |
Blossumtree | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 07:40 pm     i'm late in joining this discussion but breezy please take my advice and never move to europe cause you'll probably have a heart attack if you watch tv there. i'm constantly amazed at how in this country nudity is so overrated. |
Loppes | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 08:08 pm     Let's all just be greatful we haven't seen any nudes of Dani. Lon |
Letmeinthere | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 08:12 pm     Yeah Loppes, why is that? Have the camera men just been avoiding that or has Dani been doing something that none of the other women thought of doing? Anyone???? |
Cindyluvsroddy | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 08:27 pm     i love walking around my house nude .... i also sunbath nude ... i don't workout this body to cover it up |
Thorntara | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 08:40 pm     Dani always changes in the shower, under a towel, under clothes. I doubt she's been nude except in the shower, with a towel on the door. Lisa, lately, is on the same program, although she also changes in the WC, where she said she got freaked out when she heard the camera in there moving. Of course, this may be a change of opinion since the time of the PB/orchid bikinis, when Lisa, Tonya and Chiara didn't seem to have any problems at all about being nude in front of the cameras. All of the HGs volunteered for this deal! They've either been discreet (shower, under a towel, etc.) or been defiant (Roddy's "Nekkid Boy" announcements) or don't care (Tonya in particular). What kind of person accepts a job being a camera operator when people will be nude? Maybe one that needs a job? Finally, I agree with Cindy...why is nudity inherently bad? |
Jimmer | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 08:54 pm     I agree. Why is nudity bad or immoral? It's simply what people look like when they don't have clothes on (that's deep I know, but that's essentially it). |
Draheid | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 09:20 pm     Jimmer: You have to recall this:
Special thanks to BigBrotherBelle for the screen cap |
