Of course you would.  You're offended by the image of
one blurry breast.  A porn site would certainly offend
you.  I'm surprised your head didn't explode.

But if we are going to allow articles on porn stars,
and it would be a BIG fight if such a thing were
suggested, then we should allow links to their pages
and to fan pages, just as we do to any other actor,
sports figure, or human being.
