Do you think there's really much to get upset about...?

We're human beings and I don't really get how what we actually look like can be considered offensive. Some people are very uptight about things.

I don't find the nudity offensive at all, however I have to say that there is nothing attractive in any shape or form in so far as the model is concerned. It is no wonder that at first glance some folk thought she was wearing a T-shirt. Absolutely shapeless!
