" Rapa Nui slips through the National Geographic Loophole.

Dave Barry talking about National Geographic Nudity, also known as Poor Man's porn.Īnd this Roger Ebert talking about the movie "Rapa Nui": Jerry Falwell, would get upset about seeing the wildebeest naked." And still others, such as the Spectacularly Rev. But if National Geographic were to publish an article entitled "The Girls of the California Junior College System Hunt the Wildebeest Naked," some people would call it pornography. So it's not considered pornographic when National Geographic publishes color photographs of these people hunting the wildebeest naked, or pounding one rock onto another rock for some primitive reason naked, or whatever. For example, you have these primitive African tribes that exist by chasing the wildebeest on foot, and they have to go around largely naked, because, as the old tribal saying goes: "N'wam k'honi soit qui mali," which means, "If you think you can catch a wildebeest in this climate and wear clothes at the same time, then I have some beachfront property in the desert region of Northern Mali that you may be interested in. You can't just say it's pictures of people naked. " The big problem with pornography is defining it. When I was in junior high school, my friends and I were extremely interested in these articles, specifically the photographs that had captions like "A young woman of the Mbonga tribe prepares supper using primitive implements." We would spend long periods of time staring at the young woman's implements, and we'd wonder how come we'd had the incredibly bad luck of being born in the one society in the entire world (judging from National Geographic) where in women wore a lot of clothes. All these things are very different." When I was an adolescent, the only reliable source of breast visuals was National Geographic, a magazine then devoted, as far as I can tell, to doing feature articles on every primitive tribe in the world in which the women went around topless. There's naked people in medical books, there's naked people in renaissance art, there's naked people in Hustler magazine.
