<p>an entertaining pleasantry, eh? mercifully just a bit of fanciful fictional posturing&#8230;right?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://sociallyengineering.com/wetmounts/woman07.jpg" alt="women" class="entryimg" />finally it has been said aloud was has been apparent for years by an authority of the body no less, one of chicago&#8217;s finest, <a href="http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20091014/REVIEWS/910149998">roger ebert</a>:</p>
<p><i>&#8221; i am happy to say it brings back an element sadly missing in recent movies, gratuitous nudity. sexy women would &#8216;happen&#8217; to be topless in the 1970s movies for no better reason than that everyone agreed, including themselves, that their breasts were a genuine pleasure to regard &#8212; the most beautiful naturally occurring shapes in nature, i believe. now we see breasts only in serious films, for expressing reasons.&#8221;</i></p>
<p> clearly a man with a preference and only the question remains to be answered:</p>
<p><i>&#8220;what-a good is all the violence in the world unless<br />
it is toppled with limitless sex?&#8221;</i></p>
