    Eh, you've seen a hundred thousand breasts, you've seen 'em all. :D

    IMO, this is too funny and ridiculous to turn it into a moral debate. :shake:

    How is any self respecting king supposed to choose a bride who is topless? I would think total nudity would be more appropriate :p

    I know they have different customs, but videos of 14 year old girls dancing topless and generally almost nude being spread on the TV is too much for my liking. But as to 'feudalistic' customs - they get what they want. Some more pleasant to the eye form of prostitution.

    I'm ALMOST struck speechless. On the one hand, how degrading to the girls dancing. On the other hand, if it lets them escape grinding poverty, well, why not? I'd like my kids to have a fighting chance in this world too.

    How come that Tal mentioned this? He is the king of SP!!!! And he wants us to dance!! :D

    Back to topic, I think that it's totally stoopid to dance in front of the king. Seriously, how can you alone be noticed when there are 50. 000 other there too. Of course, there's always hope

    As a woman, I can only say..

    Can you POSSIBLY imagine what it would be like if they had a queen instead of a king?!
