Abstract:
An arts magazine at UW-Eau Claire is receiving flak for posters it used to inform students about submitting literature and art for consideration in its next release. Some felt that the content of the posters was degrading, objectifying and offensive.
But whoever ripped the posters down aimed at encouraging students to participate in campus activities - for the sole reason that a few people feel the content is offensive - was unjust in doing so....

don't resort to "crossing the line of decency" for promotion. It's a turnoff.

Expecting these folks to respect the ideas of others or, God forbid, a little hardly-edgy creativity is a futile exercise. They'll rip down those posters no matter what, and then they'll sit around feeling good about it since they know that the almighty father figure in the sky only approves of missionary-style sex after marriage in bed with the door shut and the lights off and then only when nobody particularly enjoys it.
But whatever. You'll always encounter these self-righteous jerk as you move forward in life: They'll be the ones you overhear whining that some of their tax dollars are going to help poor people instead of funding a good old-fashioned war, complaining because some non-white family moved into the neighborhood and killed property values or forwarding chain email they got from the Free Republic about how those gawddang liberals are trying to destroy America by getting healthcare for poor kids and fluorinating the water supply.
Fortunately, extra posters are cheap.
