I suspected we shared opinions about this.

And I waited this about a week to look at them, myself, although AOL posted the image of the belly in the sand being poked with the stick on the page I see everytime I sign on the day the ads came out. There's also something else nagging at me -- don't quite know how to articulate it, but something deeply disturbing about the US government pushing these images of body parts lightheartedly lost, that belly buried in sand to no one's dismay, when images of the dead in the war in the Iraq are being so stringently censored. And then the other deaths and injuries from bombings. It feels like some kind of very strange echo chamber of guilt and fear so intense that it has to be tightly, tightly controlled and offered as kind of a good-natured joke and good advice that everybody already knows...
