A Post About Kate Winslet's Breasts. No, Really.

The case CleanFlicks v Kate Winslet's Breasts probably escaped a fair bit of media coverage, but thankfully the libertarians are always ready to rush news of any potential violations of free-market economics to anyone willing to listen.  In the latest issue of Reason magazine, one of their editors discusses his reaction to the case and I, in fact, quite agree with him.  Regardless of what directors' intent is when they edit their movies, it is ultimately the audience that edits the picture by making their own decisions about the film's artistic merit and having their own personal reactions to the film.  As an example, consider the following question: how many people actually saw in Eyes Wide Shut the artistic message that Kubrick was trying to convey?  I mean, really.  So, like the author, I say hooray for Kate Winslet's breasts as an integral part of Titanic, but the fact that Hollywood would actually litigate this case is further evidence that movie executives just don't get it.

I second that hooray. Sorry, but when you mentioned boobies, any potential of a serious response vanished.
