Even since humans started to walk upright, men needed to locate the fertile one's by looking for the two round mounds presented to them. Looking down and behind the ladies was a pain! To save them bending their heads, women grew larger mammaries to hook the man and beat out the competition. How kind of them!

That interesting theory mainly applies to a subset of caucasian women.

It's the same, everywhere! Men are lead by curvaceous geometry!

You may not believe me, but actually it is not the same everywhere. There are plenty of cultures where women breasts are not considered erotic.
Then, of course, there are plenty of cultures where women breasts are considered erotic. Here a 1500 years old example:

Hi Jim,
I really ilke the picture but your US specific message is lost on me I am afraid (i.e. the references to politics, the government and Washington D.C.). Is there some person in Washington called Sharpie or Boobs? Or is it a.matter of language/idiom or whatever?
BTW, is the truck one of yours or was it just parked there? Either way, the picture stands on its own even without the understanding of what is meant by the title "politically accurate". Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,
PS: @Asher: you are the world record holder of getting off-topic, lol.

I didn't expect some competition, but here we go...
You are tickling my pride...For myself I didn't read Boobs at first (woman I am?), I read Diesel (which is bigger) and that alongside with an old oil consuming car was enough for me...

Sorry, had to re-name the photo so it wouldn't appear any more at Large Format Forum. The moderators there thought it was just too politically charged.
mercy.
Jim,
Politically charged die sell boobs rule !!
truly beautiful..
Nobody gets the double entendre. My thoughts were directed at our rulers in Washington and indeed also state governments and the word boobs becomes idiots, not mammary. As in boob tube. When we called a television a boob tube it was synchronous with idiot box, not mammary glands. Alas, the 21st century changes all meanings.
My stab at humor has ultimately failed. Ce la vie.

Hi Jim,
Cheers,
Thanks a lot for the explanation. I suspected that it would be something along those lines and that's why I have asked. Your stab at humor did not fail imo. It just needed the explanation for us non Americans.

Would this also be a politically correct statement?
(No boobs, though.)

Klassen Kamph: The term describes the class struggle in the Marxist theory of the social and political conflicts between social classes , as the cause of opposing ( antagonistic interests are considered). The class struggle manifests itself by Karl Marx , the contradiction between productive forces and production relations as class conflict. He eventually led to the overthrow of the existing class rule , the revolutionary transformation of production relations brought about. Wikipeda
It's a reminder!
What was the graffiti on the wire fence?

Well, to balance things out, the russian political satirist group painted a 65 meter long phallus on a bridge which when raised, faces the FSB, (ex KGB) headquarters, giving htem, sop to speak, the "finger"!

There is nothing written on the wire fence, it is just some plastic shreds camouflage curtain. Bigger image here:

Jerome,
I'd photograph that at high resolution and play for it. Looks very rich and promising as "found art"!
