  You shouldn't use watermarked images from stock houses without permission.
  
  I'm sure Markos is inundated with cease and desist orders about that, but that isn't the only reason not to.

- The origins of the word *obscene* (6+ / 0-)

  In Greek theater, violent acts were performed ob skene or 'off scene,' backstage, etc and yet 'nocturnal scenes' involving nudity were performed on stage.
  
  Odd, ain't it, how the FCC thinks it's ok to let all the violence to slide but a woman's full backside warrants a fine like that?

    and shocking and disgusting than the lovingly detailed autopsy scenes of grossly mangled corpses that are the stock-in-trade of every version of 'CSI' on the air. . . .
    
    And any parent who lets their children watch NYPD Blue is hardly going to be bothered that their tyke saw bare skin, anyway.

  - Fictive etymology (0+ / 0-)
    
    Greek does not include a preposition "ob."
    
    According to the OED, the English word "obscene" derives from the Latin via Middle French. The etymology of the Latin root obscaenus is not clear. It does note, however, that "The derivation from scaena SCENE n., one of several suggested by the Latin grammarian Varro, prob. represents a folk etymology."
