LOUVRE museum, Paris...

I thought the time for the casual objectification of women was over. Even more so in inappropriate spaces.

But perhaps that's just me.

But perhaps that's just me.

Perhaps.
Not every visible butt is an objectification and not every doodle is a master piece, i suppose.

I wonder if Devo had ever heard of that word "objectification"!
Does 'art' ever become a contrasting dichotomy? You know; like the case for "Louvre" and "Ouvre"?
Would it have been as funny, if it was a male-bottom?
How about that of a French beach with nekkid people?
Haven't we all seen enough asses in our lifetimes, whether they are jack or nekkid?

Why? The Louvre is full of nekkid women, what's wrong with another one.

I should keep my mouth sealed, as to why the arrow and how it relates to your link.

 

[TheBatsEar]

Yeah, that's all very unfortunate.
Very, very unfortunate.
So unfortunate.

From the 1975 movie, Annie Hall...
[emphasis added]

He sits behind the wheel as people rush out of various cars and as sirens
start blaring, coming closer and closer, stopping finally as a motorcycle cop
gets off beside Alvy's car and walks over to him.

ALVY
(Getting out of the car)
Officer, I know what you're gonna say.
I'm-I'm not a great driver, you know,
I-I have some problems with-with-with-

OFFICER
(Interrupting)
May I see your license, please?

ALVY
Sure.
(Searching, he finally fishes
his license out of his pocket)
just don't-don't get angry, you know
what I mean? 'Cause I-I have - I have
my-my license here. You know, it's a
rented car. And I've ...

He drops the license and it falls to the ground.

OFFICER
Don't give me your life story
(Looking at the piece of paper
on the ground)
-just pick up the license.

ALVY
Pick up the license. You have to ask
nicely 'cause I've had an extremely
rough day. You know, my girl friend-

OFFICER
(Interrupting)
Just give me the license, please.

ALVY
Since you put it that way.
(He laughs)
It's hard for me to refuse.
(He leans over, picks up the
license, then proceeds to rip
it up. He lets the pieces go;
they float to the ground)
... have a, I have a terrific problem
with authority, you know. I'm... it's
not your fault. Don't take it personal.

Route 11 in Londonderry Vermont this morning.
Much of Vermont is getting whacked by a prolonged, drenching rainstorm. Impact might even be worse than that of Tropical Storm Irene in 2011.

AI? Holy hell!

 

[mhardy6647]

We're getting a bit of rain today. These are videos.

Yup - a bit of water there!

Yup - a bit of water there!

These streams are normally fairly placid (especially in July)
Conditions are considerably more dire just across the river in Vermont, and on the far side of Vermont, in northeastern New York state.

Photo from this afternoon on Route 12 in Middlesex, VT, en route to the state's capital city (Montpelier).
