Flash Mountain
(source here)
Here’s the latest breaking news from Associated Press:
Disney says it will no longer scan riders on Splash Mountain and three other rides for guests who feel the need to flash their breasts for souvenir photos.
Disney confirmed Tuesday that it has reassigned employees at Disneyland and Disney’s California Adventure who watched for breast-baring riders because “actual inappropriate behaviors by guests are rare.”
…
The company began the screening about 10 years ago.
How much money has Disney wasted over the last 10 years protecting us from boobies? What is wrong with our Puritanical society that thinks it will crumble to the ground if we see any?
Funbags shouldn’t be sexualized anyway, but even if they are, they don’t hurt anyone.
We’re so frakking pathetic.

At first I was all, “whoa that must be the best job ever!” But then I realized that the reason they were eliminating it is because of the lack of booby exposure.
I’ve never really been much of a boob man, myself. Which is actually a damn shame because my wife has huge cans. But I digress. I never understood what the big deal was.
With the southward genitals, you can sort of see the deal. If you spend your whole life thinking sex is ebil (except to procreate until god personally tells you to stop by ripping out your ovaries or testicles with his cold bare hands), then it makes perfect sense to cover them up so you don’t accidentally get your poor eyes exposed to the evil things hiding in your pants.
But boobies? Their function is feeding – nothing immoral there at all, even for fundies. Is it just because guys like looking at them and it may lead to lustful thoughts (which, you know, is equal to cheating on your wife)? Well, guys like to look at legs too, but we (usually) aren’t railing against covering them up. So that doesn’t make sense either.
Well, this should be positive news, though. It may seem silly in hindsight, but remember, this is a job they are eliminating. So that’s a good thing!

If you don’t think breasts have a sexual role…all I can say is I feel sorry for your wife.

Remember back when Janet Jackson exposed one breast during half-time at the Super Bowl? There were some people in the USA who went batshit. On the other side were European people who I was corresponding with over the internet. The people from Europe had no idea what it was that people in the US were angry at Janet Jackson for. “Yeah, so she exposed her breast on TV, we got that part but what was it that she did that made people so angry?”

Christianity absolutely depends on its followers being miserable, guilt-ridden and afraid. Boobs are one of life’s joys, whether you’re looking at them or playing with them. They provide nourishment to babies and happiness to adults. This cannot possibly mesh with Christianity’s dark outlook on the world, in which all things from which we derive pleasure must be a tool of the devil.
To the normal Christian, they aren’t just afraid of the photo at the top of this page, they’re convinced people like us will take one look at those boobies and lose what little control we already possess over our libidos and start humping every living thing in sight. Whether its sex, evolution, or atheism, these people just don’t understand anything.

Helena – I don’t remember a woman ever getting pregnant from titty fucking, but maybe that’s just me. These are fundies we are talking about. They don’t do anything but God-ordained missionary position.

Actually if I can play Jehovah’s advocate here (sort of)…
Breasts are indeed sexual.
Evolutionarily the female human breast, which is a subcutaneous layer of fat, likely arose as humans went from knuckle walkers to standing completely upright. The cleveage of the breast resembled buttocks and began to fulfill that provacative role.
On the opposite side, sexualization of the breast has a strong culutural component. For example I notice Canadian television showed the wardrobe malfuntion unedited. And as pointed out in previous replies Europe has no issues with it. Maybe we should rename bikini tops breast burqas?

if it were only adults who checked the pics I would see why nobody would care. But if the overprogressive and undereducated Lefties comenting here really think it would be cool for the year old boy who is being lifted into the air to see the picture from splash mountain to see some 21 year old sluts tits who thought it would be funny to flash the camera. Then your batshit crazy and either dont have kids, or your kids are the slutty girls who did it. I understand the park wanting to reasign these employees, but its people themselves who need to be more responsible. There are places to show your tits to strangers and places not to.

Hahhahah, I have no idea on whatever the fuck you’re talking about. Remember, speak with your brain, and not your diaphgram. Once that’s done people may be able to understand you and actually choose to argue.

That’s me!
If a “year old boy” saw that picture, he’d just be thinking, “I’m hungry!”
I remember once I saw tits in a PG-13 movie when I was a wee lad (nine or ten). I’m sure that is the reason I am the demented, mass murdering, sexually perverted, psycho that I am today.

Disney Guest:
Go watch Sex, Drugs, and Democracy. It’s about the Netherlands. The film mentions that they have a sex museum there. Nobody under age 12 allowed inside. Then tell me that a kid seeing a breast is psychologically damaged.

A Google Search gone bad brought me to this thread. Thought the uninformed might want to know that modern physiologist believer the human mammaries are designed to mimic the look of the female buttocks. Therefore, they are in fact, erotic by nature. It’s yet another call to procreate! (Yes, fellow Christians, our wild, uncivilized ancestors were called to a copulatory position other than missionary. Get over it!)
BTW, as a card-carrying Christian, and I’m quite certain that no one is going to hell over seeing bare breast. They will NOT jump out and pervert the world. The world is plenty perverse without being concerned breasts are taking over! Ha!
It’s just plain rude to ogle, but the female form is one of my favorite works of art. JUST keep your hands off the artwork, unless you have the social license to touch.
So there…

Funny, it’s like when one of those old guys you’ve never seen before suddenly try to make a conversation with you that makes no sense.

I’d like to study to get my license. Is anybody out there willing to tutor me?
