Here's a dandy little controversy I've had brewing for the past week or so.
Should  liven  things  up  a  bit  and,  I  hope,  stop some of the endless
recriminations that have been bogging down these groups of late  (replacing
them  with  new  recriminations,  of  course  (-: ).  Fits in well with the
recent net.rec.nude discussion, too.

A few months ago, _Playboy_ magazine ran  a  pictorial  of  "The  Women  of
Mensa",  which  generated  some interesting discussion here (and in Mensa).
In the spirit of  "turn  about  is  fair  play"  (who  said  that?  (-:  ),
_Playgirl_ magazine is now contemplating a pictorial of "The Men of Mensa".
(I can hear the flames now ... "Sexism!", "Exploitation!", "Where can I get
a copy?!" (-:{ ).

Now, just to add a twist to the situation, I'll  tell  you  all  that  I've
applied  to  be  included  in  the  pictorial.  I gave them a set of sample
photographs today and am awaiting their response.  Win or lose,  I'll  keep
the net posted as to developments if any interest is shown.

So -- something for everyone.  Feminists, nudists, anti-porn, anti-sexists,
male  chauvinists,  and their sisters and their cousins and their aunts can
all find something to flame about here,  I'm  sure.  (Maybe  we  could  try
reasoned debate and calm discussion for a change? ...  Nahh. (-: )

Now, where'd I put that flame-proof suit....
