A photograph by a controversial American artist which is part of Sir Elton John's private collection has been seized by police from a gallery on suspicion it may have breached child pornography laws.The image, which featured two young girls one of whom was sitting down with her legs wide apart, was taken by the renowned photographer Nan Goldin.The shot, from the artist's Thanksgiving series, was to be exhibited at the Baltic Modern Art gallery, Tyneside, this week along with some of her other work. But the day before it was due to be viewed by the public, police came and removed the image over fears that it might be breaking the law.
I expect liberals to say, "Nothing wrong with that. 'Ain't hurting anyone. No harm, no foul". Of course, they don't believe that there's anything wrong with the exploitation of children for the purpose of satiating adults' selfish, perverted visual fixations.
Slippery slope, remember?
