Texas parents don't like nude sculpture

This caught my eye especially because of that trip to the Metropolitan Museum I took with my daughter (that was when the picture of me with the sphinx over in the dwellar photo thread was taken). The point of going was to see a special ancient Egypt exhibit that was only there through the end of June. However, once we were there, we went around some of the rest of the museum. And we saw several examples of Greek statues of nude males. It was very amusing because of my daughter's reaction. Revulsion would not, I believe, be too strong a word. I do not, however, believe any psychological trauma was induced. (By the statues, I mean. The cab ride back to Penn Station? That could be another story.)
