Seriously though its not porn, theres no nudity, and someone else could come in and find a complaint with a lot of avatars on here that aren't even relating to boobies. ie religion, or violence.

Ummmmm....easy for you to say! You work from home, and your kid is a newborn....
This is a true statement, however I have worked in an office and I hated the politics so I made the decision to find a career that worked for me. I also have a baby and he will grow up. He will see my las vegas macine and other pinball images. Many children see these images at very early ages out in public, on tv, or on the internet. If you don't beleive this you should really re evaluate this. As such you should take any and all opportunities to speak with your children about your personal belief system. The beauty is that you can phrase the conversation to the age of the child.
A colleague of mine was showering and his 4 year old daughter came in the bathroom and started playing twenty questions. She asked what's this and he said my knee, and so on and so on. The little girl did not stap the game and blush or giggle when he said penis, she just kept going up the body. My point is that children have no predisposition to these concepts and teaching them the language and your take on why it is in public is a great opportunity.
I hope you all understand I am not suggesting you start talking about intercourse with you three year old, just let them know a little bit about your beliefs. I would likely tell a young child that sexuality is an adult activity and some adults but not all like pictures of the opposite sex; moms like pictures of men and men like pictures of women. Your child will likely get bored and ask whats for lunch...come on Hanna Montanna is probably ok and let's be real...Miley Cirus is turing into a bite of a hollywood party girl. Your kids are going to mimic this behaviourunless you have conversations about it. Cartoons have sexual context all the time and at some point kids will figure it out. Not to mention gambling and drinking that are entrenched in our society. Any opportunity to communicate with children is a great opportunity to give your side and to educate. It is the responsibility of a parent to raise thier children, this includes preparing them for the real world and not sheltering them from the bad. I know parents that won't take thier kids to grandma and grandpa's because the house is not kid proofed...the same house they grew up in???? Sure put a helmet on your kid when they ride a bike but don't stop them from riding it because they might break a leg or see teenagers making out in the park.
I will state once again that these images are everywhere. Take the avatar of karmatose, a kid would probably laugh. They will think it was something stinky, they have no idea that it sexual in any way. It is the adult brain that sees the bad, the kids brain does not go there.
At any rate in the end it is up to you where, what and when you look on the computer and it is up to you where and when and what you discuss with your children. I would encourage you all to step back though and realize that nothing on this site should is really bad. Take that Fred kid that children go to all the time, that is bad. If you do not know what I am talking about go to tou tube and type in Fred.
Enough said.

Because the objectification of women is everywhere doesn't mean its okay, and the kids are going to see it anyway so just talk to them about it etc etc etc...Try that mentality with any G or PG rated film....it just wouldn't get the rating.
All that is being asked is that we keep the same consideration when choosing an Avatar (i.e. try to keep it G or PG rated) Pretty please...with cherries on top
People can "slippery soap" this request all the way to censorship, human rights, freedom, liberty, justice, blah blah blah...
p.s. the Dustin Diamond "Dirty Sanchez" Avatar makes me want to puke everytime I see it...Dustin's behaviour, and the WWW obsession with perverts like that is exactly what is wrong with the world today. "Oh, but its everywhere...we should talk to our kids about it". NO...that is wrong, and will seriously damage a kid if it is explained to them, no matter how tactful you are in the conversation. Jester, as your newborn will indeed grow up, and I give this advice to all parents work with "block many channels, and keep the computer in the livingroom. TV and computer content are completely different then when we grew up...these things will now damage your kid"
