Macca, call it "censorship" or call it administrating the laws, if you like. They're just words, manipulated to suit an agenda. We have censorship on how to drive, how to behave in public, how to treat your neighbour. Identical thing, it's just that the moment people give themselves the title of "artist" or "writer" they think that laws should be pulled away and or erased to suit their personal little hobbies and fetishes. I agree that attitudes should always be challenged but that should happen with reasonable debate and not with disrespect for the laws. No one should take the law in their own hands -artist or not.
The picture you stuck onto your fridge is both irrelevant and private: informed adults stuck on the door of your own private fridge. Unless you call your kitchen an art gallery and charge people to come and view that photo we're talking about different things.
What's the difference in sentiment and effect between Urine on Christ and photos of children in the nude? In both cases a great many people are offended. In both cases the medium takes over from the message. In both cases the medium is disparaged and devalued, in equal proportion to the society from whence they were spawned.
Freedom of expression (artistic or otherwise) does not mean free to insult, offend and abuse.
