All arguments to prove there is no God.

Actually I expected at least one person to defend this 9/11 art from the freedom of speech standpoint. My argument would be - there's a time and place for insensitive and potentially hurtful art. And I would fully expect the artist to take credit for their work and brace for a backlash. J.Mo, Ev, CRo: Ev knows I'm a part-time Natalie Dee fan. Not enough to check her site daily, but I do take a look every once in a while. As for the abortion protesters... I feel the same about that shit as I do about the 9/11 art. Don't accost me with photos of dead babies. If those people can show that shit in public, then what's the hangup about nudity in the US? Pictures of dead babies = Totally acceptable?

I can see that. However, by that logic, I suck too and that makes me sad. I didn't mean to derail JJ's comments about the insensitive public art display. It kind of reminds me of how pissed off I got last summer when the anti-abortion trucks were cruising around Columbus. I don't care how you feel about abortion, if you saw those things, you'd be Offended. Ev: Huh. I can see that. However, by that logic, I suck too and that makes me sad.

Also, she's kinda shitty to people who write her. Also? What gives her the right to tell people what to do? Plus, she thinks she's awesome and therefore sucks. Yes, I'm an asshole.

One was "I Fall For You" with a similar drawing as this one. I really like her stuff, but that one was a little too tasteless for me. Check her website for other drawings. Make Me Laugh Evan would probably enjoy her work: http://www.nataliedee.com Did you ever see Natalie Dee’s Valentine’s series. One was “I Fall For You” with a similar drawing as this one.
