If Samantha Fox is your hero, time for some new ones!

Well, there are certainly worse looking heroes out there.

Interesting how the official's justification is that she is a sex symbol from the 1980s.

a statue of the late martial arts film star Bruce Lee in 2005 as a symbol of unity between Muslims and Croats.

Okay, these guys are now just making shiat up... aren't they? I mean, this is secretly an article from The Onion, right? Right?

Yummy.

According to her Wikipedia entry she started her career with a topless modeling shoot for The Sun when she was 16.

Fox's bubbly-blonde looks, winning smile, working-class background, and curvaceous 36D breasts, which looked disproportionately large on her diminutive 5 ft 1 in frame, quickly made her an iconic figure.


That brings up an interesting issue. Is it OK to take and publish erotic nude photos of 16 year-old girls? How about when their parents know and are actively encouraging it?

Age of consent is 16 in England.

If by "OK" you mean "legal," the answer is hell no.

see answer #1.

for nude photos? I don't know English law so I will defer to Leonid if that is so.

She's a lesbian???? Waaa???

From WiKi

"But I can't keep saying, "Maybe", or denying it. It's time to let people know where my heart is. People keep trying to say I'm a lesbian. I don't know what I am. All I know is that I'm in love with Myra [Stratton, her manager]. I love her completely and want to spend the rest of my life with her."

 
skinink 2007-03-24 06:47:16 PM  

They could save a whole lot of money by just making the breasts, and nothing else.


Dirty girls need statues too.


 
Alphax 2007-03-24 06:47:24 PM  
I'm browsing from an old Powerbook, so none of the in-thread images are loading... pity..

I actually bought 2 of her albums, back in the day.

 
mama's_tasty_foods 2007-03-24 06:48:37 PM  
Or, according to Wikipedia, in the UK "child pornography" = indecent photograph of a "child," with "child" being anyone under 18.

Riche [TotalFark] 2007-03-24 06:52:29 PM  
I'm not asking about "legal," I'm wondering about "OK."

If it's OK, then our laws in the US are out of whack and there's more than a few Americans either rotting in prison or branded for life as sex offenders that don't need to be.

If 16 is OK, what about 15? Younger?

True, different people mature at different times, but the law probably needs a set age to go by.

/I'm thinking 16 is a reasonable minimum, myself.

Just as an aside, the Samantha Fox song 'Naughty Girls (Need Love Too)' was the one playing in 'Clerks II' during the donkey show.

It won't be the only celebrity statue in the area. The northern Serbian village of Zitiste is putting up a statue of the Hollywood film character Rocky, as played by Sylvester Stallone.


Awesome.

But only since 2003 - it was 16 before that.

 
MtLebanonBalogna [TotalFark] 2007-03-24 07:04:54 PM  
Y'know, if people want to idolize her, or Michael Jackson, or Allen Ginsberg, let them put up the statues to their idols. If it's their money, and not the public's money, who cares?

 
Epsilon [TotalFark] 2007-03-24 07:08:26 PM  
She may be an old, washed up, has-been in 2007, but in the '80s she had one of the most fap worthy racks around, and she didn't mind showing 'em off!

 
ShutterGeek 2007-03-24 07:13:59 PM  
Riche: True, different people mature at different times, but the law probably needs a set age to go by.

It is also possible that people in different cultures mature at different times. Perhaps girls in the UK are ready to make decisions like this at 16 while American girls aren't until 18 (on average, of course).

I don't see any need for an internationally agreed upon age. What do you see as the harm in the status quo?

 
harland_mct 2007-03-24 07:16:00 PM  
Wrong version of Touch Me, Charles. If we're pointing out what the Gunther post was all about that is.

And the eastern Bosnian town of Bijelina, the scene of some of the most vicious ethnic cleansing during the 1992-95 wars, is to erect a huge bronze statue of the town's most famous produce - a cabbage.

Has Terry Pratchett anything to do with this?

On a more serious note; those places have been so let down and misused by their would-be leaders and heroes that any change is for the better.

Actually, I'm shocked I was the first person to make that gag, so many comments in. I was so sure the first five comments were going to be variants on what I came in to say.

 
chechcal 2007-03-24 07:31:47 PM  
As I understood it, before '03 you could pose nude in England if you were as young as 16 so long as you had parental consent.

 
Gordon Bennett 2007-03-24 07:38:46 PM  
I had no idea the law had changed. I thought it was still 16. Of course, even if it hadn't it's still best not to show anyone under 18 nude for export purposes.

Though what about Daniel Radcliffe? Isn't he still 17, yet appearing nude onstage for a scene in Equus in the West End?

Nicely done.

I had a serious crush on that chick in high school ... mailed away for her titty posters and everything. Saw her a while back on "I Love The 80s" or somesuch ... what the hoo hah hey?? I know people age obviously, but damn. Oh well ... still got the memories.

/off to GIS for nostalgia's sake

"We are also aware that her most famous attributes may require special treatment, so we are planning on using the best quality marble only."

Awesome. I hope some day my titties will be memorialized in the finest of all marble.

There be statutes of limitaetions for certain crymes; sadly, they can't be prosecuted as of 1799.

 
TheDogsBollox 2007-03-24 08:53:53 PM  
Didn't know the law had changed either, but it used to be legal to take topless photos of anyone over 16 (but under 18) with parental consent.

Sam Fox was the first big case of that and then Linsey Dawn McKenzie was the next.

The age of consent for sex remains 16.

 
TheDogsBollox 2007-03-24 08:58:30 PM  
And yeah, Sam Fox was great in her day and has now been reduced to an alcoholic, man-hating lesbian.

She pretty much showed herself up on national TV in some reality effort where celebrities ran a bar/nightclub for a few weeks. She was drinking constantly and fighting with the staff.

So you can touch'm, lick'm, use'm, and knock them up, take'm on a trip round the world, but you can't look at photos of said acts until they're 18?

Just sayin - that's kinda messed up.
