    Intriguing.

    The attire is insufficiently skanky, but it is a good start!

    Is that truly Genocide? I didn't know it was able to assume that form.

    People complained that a cow dressed in Egyptian garb and posed in front of pyramids and a sphinx was somehow disrespectful of an ancient culture.

    These people obviously never heard of Hathor, the cow-faced (and sometimes cow-bodied) Egyptian goddess of motherhood and femininity...

    You're joking, right?

    Removing it is disrespectful to The Millennium Cow!

    I hereby order those involved with getting that image censored to consume vast quantities of disgusting things and expel their bodily waste in ways I can not describe here due to the terms of service!

    Comment removed because I didn't want to spoil the fun tone of the thread ;)

    Facebook seem to try to push their US standards (violence and war is OK, nudity not) on a global scale.

    Our government has actually sent a complaint to Facebook because they're censuring nude pictures on Danish people's accounts which are completely legal here in Denmark. Among others they removed nude pictures from a local festival from several newspaper's accounts.

    Just for Sockratease, though he doubtless has a) already seen it or b) commissioned it in the first place ;)

    When based in America, you are subject to American laws. It's easier to avoid potential hassle, fairly or not, by adopting such practices. If you want a social site that goes by Danish standards (which sound more fair than ours), then build a Danish Facebook. But don't blame Facebook for abiding by the laws they are legally bound to obey.

    Is that Sydpad's short? (All I got was a football game at that link). She did it some years back.

    Their nudity standards are not based on US laws (though they obey these as well I assume) but on the principle that they only allow material that is considered generally accetable in any country in the world. At least that's what they said later in a TV interview where they were confronted with the issue.

    I'm sure that's true, however I'm also sure that America is probably one of the most problematic and influential on their policies, since nudity seems to generally be much less of an issue around the world.
