Breasts are best defense against extremism: Danish MP
According to Skaarup, a documentary film about Denmark that will be shown as part of an upcoming immigration test for foreigners needs to have a pair of breasts in it, to intimidate any extremists from attempting to enter the tiny Scandinavian country.

Because a topless woman on a beach would be a good example of the Danish open-mindedness, Skaarup points out.

"Topless bathing probably isn’t a common sight on Pakistani beaches, but in Denmark it is still considered quite normal. I honestly believe that by including a couple of bare breasts in the movie, extremists may have to think twice before deciding to come to Denmark"
Peter Skaarup

This, he said, is mainly relevant for immigrants coming from fundamentalist societies where women are oppressed and are not allowed to display their sexuality or even their hair. On the other hand Danish women are allowed to wear –-or not wear— what they please, underlining that he is not trying to provoke anyone with his statements.

“If you’re coming from a strict, religious society that might make you stop and think, oh no, I don’t want to be a part of that”, Skaarup told Danish daily, Jyllandsposten.

5. For all you know the topless beach ladies may be quite willing to protect their countries
of course some dudes might as well.

22. Not in any way that made sense.
One involves covert spying under clothing and the touching of genitalia.

The other involves viewing naked bodies and seeing them as a normal part of the culture.

8. Beaches? Bars too.
I walked into a small disco-like bar in Copenhagen one time and the DJ was a gorgeous blond who was, yes, topless. Yikes!

10. Good idea in theory, but I don't think most extremists come because they mistakenly think
they're compatible with Western culture. They come because they already have family living in little unassimilated enclaves, and think they can have their cake and eat it too.

12. May I suggest this panel as a Voight-Kampff test to sort out the dangerous kind:
To the applicant for immigration: if images like these disturb you...if you aren't prepared to accept that acts and sights such as these are part of a free society...

Then just stay in your third world shithole country!

(There are plenty of religiously intolerant men who have no problem looking at Danish breasts in a film, so long as it's not "their" women being exposed. But you won't find many of them able to sit still for images of same sex kissing, especially dude-on-dude kissing. Not that I think there shouldn't be any breasts in the film. I would be strongly in favor of breasts. The film should not leave anything to chance, however.)

27. The only problem I have with any of that is....
Damn it, I'm no longer young.

And yeah, it's all still good, even when you're older. But there is a suppleness to youth, to be enjoyed while it lasts!

:hippie:

18. Makes me think of doing the same in my own red state.
But it would just make the fundies salivate and probably draw more of them here.

Is loose hair all that erotic?
