(via Anne Silberman):

“I usually agree with your take on sex and frivolity and the joys of loving our bodies and those of others.  However, I feel I must take issue with your stance on the Naked Sushi trend.  I wasn’t offended until I read the story at the Seattle Times and saw the photo.Perhaps it was because the model’s face wasn’t included in the shot but I couldn’t help but see the dehumanizing quality of using a living, breathing female as a serving platter!  I was horribly offended and even more so when I read that this is a trend that started in Japan and has moved to the US, first in Los Angeles and now in Seattle!  Where will it stop?  This is not celebratory of life at all.  It is exploitative. Perhaps if others find it offensive, the sushi bar will lose customers and the practice will stop. In a paternalistic, capitalistic society, that is the best we can hope for.

Otherwise, still love Miscmedia.
