Does anyone remember going to the circus when they were young. No not in general, I mean the part where they lowered that circular curtain from the top of the tent. And then they lowered the lights for a minute or two then they raised the curtain and lights. And then there were all the circus performers standing there naked, men, women, girls, and lotsa boys. All of them naked posing like they were in an old painting, you know with swords and dames in distress and cherubs and cupids and such. And then they would lower the curtain and do it again and again to different paintings. I think they were called "Living Statues" or something like that.

Do you remember? Probably not, I don't remember it. You would have to be like 90 years old to remember it. It did happen back in the 20's or 30's after a supreme court ruling that nude people standing still could not be obscene. Imagine people saying that kids are seeing too much nudity on TV and movies. They are actually seeing less, well less real life nudity anyway.
