My eclipse-watching activities have been censored by Photobucket.

Apparently, a cartoonish depiction of MFM's buttcrack is considered pornographic by
Facebook ("violated our terms of use"}.
.
Anybody use a file-storage/distribution site like theirs that isn't so Puritanical?

Though, in reality... MFM's real buttcrack is more than a little cartoonish, so maybe
they did have a LITTLE justification.

2. I have some of those violations in my photobucket.
Posting stuff on DU seems to increase the odds of pictures getting deleted.

Maybe lurkers here report it 'cause they just don't like you.

In other forums I'll see photobucket pictures staying up for years that are far more risque or in violation of some copyright than anything I've ever posted.

I don't know if it's a function of how popular DU is, or if there's a secret patrol of morality police here.

So I end up putting stuff I don't think would last on photobucket on one of my own sites.

Here's my quick photoshop of Lucian Fread's "After Cézanne" I did when NNadir posted the original in the Lounge.



Original here (cs.nga.gov.au)

It's fair use I hope. We were discussing art, the balance of the original, which has a unique shape.

I don't think that work would last long on photobucket.

3. I thought about the "lurkers here alerting on ANOTHER site" theory...
.
.
.
...but rejected it for a coupla reasons.
.
.
.
1. Not totally, but borders on paranoia (it seems like to me).
.
.
.
2. Haters gonna hate, but that would take a level of impotent
seething rage so deep it would be like Gollum scuttling along
in the muck and mire below the mountain. I don't like to think
there are people like that (though there obviously are -- I just
prefer not to think about them).

4. The Italians actually defaced the Greek statues at the Vatican
I have this painting in my bucket because of the freggio. Neapolitan men used to deface their women in the interest of fidelity or something like that.
