You're not the only woman that reacted in that way-- my wife, once she saw it, told me of the problem and I immediately removed it. I have to say that I'm a creature of process. I see the process as: I find a quote, I give credit to the quote. So, I linked-- but I spent a lot of time finding a modest picture for my post, and I also made sure to put in a disclaimer (as you saw) to say "be warned." I will say that a part of me wondered if that were enough, but the legal/process part of me said "you have to attribute your links". However, you and my wife are right. A link on my site is a small endorsement of the source content. In this case, the source was something offensive and could lead people to sin, so the link had to go. On topic-- I've been saddened for Miss Biel since she decided that she had to differentiate herself from 7th Heaven (not a show that I was glued to, but we did watch it from time to time and it did start my blogging, but that's another story) by getting photographed topless. She did seem to have a good heart by helping to raise money for a girl that was sick, so one could hope that she was getting a better sense of right and wrong. It appears that she hasn't. Gayle, thanks for your comment. You’re not the only woman that reacted in that way– my wife, once she saw it, told me of the problem and I immediately removed it.

But then I followed the link (and yes, you did put in the disclaimer) and was blown away. Not because of the pictures but that you had linked to a site that just didn't need to be linked to. All morning it's bothered me because as a wife who has a husband who shares his inner battles with me, I know what a tempting and irresistable spot that could be. Do I tell Minthegap or do I just let it go and make sure not to pass this site on to hubs. Very happy to see you took it out!!! And on topic-----It's sad that we (me included) have become so desensitized by our cultures lust for overt sexuality, violence and the next great thing that pushes the limits. Not shocked by this woman's career choice, but thoroughly disappointed that another role model has chosen to follow the crowd.

There was a time when people that refrained from doing this kind of thing were frowned upon, and now it's just the path toward stardom. We should, but sadly we don’t.
