Hope you don't mind my commenting on this.. I just love to stick my two cents in.. Probably should shut up. LOL!
It IS different. (Well, to me.) Nude full frontal men in paintings and sculpture are to me, art. Before the fire may not be a painting, but it most certainly is art.. and it doesn't stick a dork in your face. Full frontal photos of sexually excited men are.. well, a bit more than just erotica. (I have nothing against that. I like it personally, as long as it doesn't involve children or hurt anybody.) To put some real persons head on a porn photo without their permission has a very good chance of hurting them.( and I think that is a funny way to express affection for a person. Celebrity or not.) If EW ever says he doesn't mind then by all means, anybody who wants to should exploit him sexually and devil take the hindmost. :-D
FRODO on the other hand.. I haven't a leg to stand on morally to object to anything done.. Just not my cup of tea. I am made uncomfortable by imagining Frodo's distress if he saw it. I'm positive he would be less than thrilled over what I do to him with my pencil.. but not really upset. That is, of course, my opinion.. as far as I know, nobody ever asked Tolkien. I don't object to seeing Frodo in the altogether.. Quite the opposite! The blue manip is,to me, pure art.. at least, the cropped version. This is, of course, only my opinion. I suppose an argument can be made that a well drawn erection is art.. and well.. everybody has their own opinion of what art is anyway.
