One of my blog pictures has been denied by Yahoo!360 team (See http://www.essentialart.com/mh/Salvador_Dali_Dream_Caused_by_the_Flight_of_a_Bee.jpg). It showed Salvador Dali’s famous dream scene called “sting caused by flight of a bee” – the one with two Bengali tigers jumping towards a nude figure of a woman – one which is famous. I posted it on not because it is erotically evocative, but because it illustrated my point perfectly. How can Yahoo! censor a harmless, yet prosaic and elegant picture such as this? Surely this is Fascism! During the Second World War, Hitler banned artists like Salvador Dali from creating beautiful abstract works pervading the Third Reich, claiming they were obscene. I hope Yahoo!360beta blog site is not trying to learn from his dictatorial regime! It’s not like I get that many hits on my blog anyway and it’s not as if I have ever published anything even vaguely obscene on my blog! I expected a lot more maturity and openness from you folks at Yahoo!
Man! You sound a little upset!
It’s not obscene, it’s just a simple violation of the policy.
The policy doesn’t state “no obscene nudity”…it just says “no nudity”. If the’re gonna have rules, they might as well enforce them.
Art sometimes contains nudity. Most of us are capable of viewing it as art, and not as pornography. However, there are others out there who might be bothered by it, therefore, Yahoo can’t allow it to be used.

You’re expecting entirely too much from yahoos crack team of halfwits. These braindead spaztards have the intelligence of dung beetles. They delete perfectly fine questions and answers all the time, yet leave the ones with excessive profanity and threats. Yahoo has embraced stupidity as if it were a virtue.
Yahoo sucks.

Ridiculous, I agree.

Yahoo runs a public domain that it deems fit for all ages. Doing so they feel they have the right to censure that which they feel is inappropriate. When you join a public forum you are signing up under their rules and conditions; Don’t like it, don’t join. I myself feel that painting is a work of art and deserves viewing, just in the proper forum.

It was probably a violation of copyright laws. That would get Yahoo in trouble too.
