I just got a mass email from the student ministries person at church who is in charge of the college aged group...it was an invitation to see Apocalypto this week....it contained this disclaimer...

"(note: This movie contains violence and native nudity, watch at your own discretion)."

well, looks like some Christians are supporting Mel, afterall....

I don't know if my church should be supporting this though...I don't think they realize HOW violent it is...but I guess if they can take the whippings in the Passion, whatever.

Sweet, I hate nudity, but if it is Native nudity, then I am ok with it. Cause they don't count as real people?

maybe it's the 'National Geographic' idea...the native ladies were nude in that a lot of times and it was available in my middle school library...why not Playboy? Whatever.

because in Playboy the posing is suggesting sex, Nudity the National Geographicn way is, well, it's just circumstantial and ideal to the immediate environment.
