Ho hum. Another day, another nude calendar.
Some regular folks in Maine have posed in their birthday suits for their 2005 calendar, "Altogether for the Garden Too."
The calendar is brought to you by the nonprofit McLaughlin Foundation Garden and Horticultural Center. It features men and women ranging in age from 36 to 77.
We haven't seen the new calendar. Nor did we see the old one. Nor have we seen "Calendar Girls," a movie about some Englishwomen who posed naked for some cause or other.
And we agree with those who think all bodies are beautiful. And we're sure the Maine folks are tastefully posed. You know, their naughty bits hidden behind rhododendrons and elephant ears and such.
But come on. This kind of stuff is just ... unnatural. We need to get those real folks back into clothes and get those nudie calendars, with young, naked, air-brushed women only, back into the garages and college dorms where they belong.
All in favor, say, "Aye yi yi!"
