Holy Moley, "It's Inappropriate!"

Just go read this post from mephron. I don't know who he is, but you have to read it.

Un-F'ing-believable.



Actually, she's kinda hot. (I believe that's the point.)

That ridiculous double-standard (the guard letting Maxim through...) reminds me of a Bizarre sketch, you know, that Monty Python's Flying Circus-esque (but more crude and not as clever) series starring John Byner in the 80s. This show was mostly memorable because it aired at 9pm on broadcast television, and it had uncensored topless nudity-- including the sketch I have in mind, where the security guard makes an attractive woman run through the metal detector, removing more and more clothing, until she has her bra removed, and surprise, it was the bra clasp setting the alarm off all along. Then he hands her all her clothes and she walks off. The next in line is a heavyset, not-so-attractive woman, bandoliers of ammunition slung over her shoulders, cradling an M-60...and the guard waves her right through.

Despite being crude and shocking, I guess it is a bit of relevant social commentary. Or at least I'm reading this book confiscation scenario as similar, it would appear that the guard coveted the book to read over his break or something, but didn't care about the more explicit and risque Maxim covers. Americans are no safer with these ridiculous searches and capricious confiscations.
