  If the bent over ladies had nice butts, i don’t see the problem. Perhaps they should shed their daisy dukes for thongs! A fine looking woman is a work of art that should be appreciated.

  Spanish tv has always been more liberal when it comes to showing off the femaie form (the US seems to have a phobia about bare female breasts, for example).

  USA has a hang up on ANYTHING to do with S E X.
  Left or right, both are retarded here. Probably our Puritan Commie ancestors.

  only 703 words to Phoebe.

  Perhaps because it needs no translation.

  Unless the women in the picture were FORCED to pose — forget about it!

  The picture didn’t look sexual. I could barely make out what it was about much less does it appear sexist or appeal to the prurient interest. It looked inoccuous enough. I think we should worry about other issues.
