I studied art, and I still don't understand the obsession with nudity. I just don't get it. It's like they see everything as "better" when it's nude.

X: And here I drew two people walking by the lake.
Prof: Can't you draw them nude?
X: Um, they weren't nude at the time.
Prof: Hmm. Not good enough.

*Following week*

X: Here's my day's work.
Prof: Hmm, they're not nude.
X: I know.
Prof: The NUDE models we had were NUDE.
X: I know. I dressed them in my mind.
Prof: Hmm.

In my head I imagined his last expression to be followed by "This is no good! I can't pleasure myself to this!" Then I said "Look, I didn't travel thousands of miles and pay thousands of dollars to draw other peoples' junk!"

OK now I get it... these models were males? haha

hehe the first few models we got were dudes, but then we got females.. The females were none too hot either.. Regardless, I had no interest in drawing nude people.. It felt cheap.

"Look, here are some dogs playing cards... Naked!"

The human body *can* be a beautiful thing, and I think there's much to be said for nude forms.  However, 18,000 naked Mexicans can kiss my ass if they think that's art.  Fuck that crap.  This guy is an idiot.
