Are women's backs pornographic?
The world is still freaking out after witnessing Miley Cyrus' nude shoulder blades -- which, in itself, is kind of understandable, as even non-prudish folk might balk at teenagers posing suggestively for fashion mags. But now there's news that people are raising hell over the naked backs of grown-up women -- calling them "explicit" and demanding that they be removed from public view.This latest controversy surrounds some ads for K-Rock, a New York-based radio station, which show women with tattoos of rock bands across their bare shoulders. Offended citizens have complained to the radio station, and now the "scandal" is making headlines in the northeast. Subsequently fashion bloggers are up in arms, calling America's recent obsession with "back pornography" ridiculous and pleading with the country to chill out.
But should we? Personally, we don't see what all the fuss is about. However, you can check out the photos and judge for yourself.

I don't think it is the bare back as much as it is the implied nudity. One of the pics has a half exposed boob and another a booty shot. Nothing on the lines of pornographic in my mind, but hey, we're uptight here on the East Coast.
