Mannequin spoils outing

During a visit to Salt Lake City, just blocks from Temple Square at
the Gateway Mall, I was aghast to see in the Victoria Secret's display
window a ***ually positioned mannequin dressed in skimpy black
underwear with garters and black stockings. I credit them for not
including whips and chains, but the implication was surely there for
the world to see - including small children and teenagers. A nice
little Mormon family outing turned into a lesson on immorality with an
explanation to my kids why they should wear their temple garments
after they are endowed in the temple.
Why should I be exposed to that lewdness unless I choose to walk
into the store? At least then I can walk out if I am offended, but
please, don't throw it in my face. It is sad to see that Babylon
prospers so well in Zion, and that apparently no one cares enough to
protest the perils of ****ography. Well, I'm standing up to protect
children from exposure to it.
In my childhood, the public was sheltered from inadvertent exposure
to ****ography by the use of brown protective wrappers on magazines.
What a concept! I live in the country and I don't get out much. Thank
goodness.
