&lt;p&gt;on the one hand, you deplore the fact that people can&#039;t look past your &#039;unfortunately over-endowed body;&#039; on the other you put bunnies in your bra, take pictures, and submit them to be posted on a popular website. That&#039;s deluded at best; hypocritical at worst.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]></description>

        &lt;p&gt;Controversy over this was contrived and baseless. And since it didn&#039;t go away by taking the pics down (gee, think anybody already saved them to MyPictures?) why not just put them back up, and turn off comments? =)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Meg, we love you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;div xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;I know this is old, but I just find it so funny that people complain that they could get in trouble for looking at CO at work because of these pictures.  I would think the fact that it is obviously not work would be a problem.  I mean, those filters aren&#039;t there to protect your morals, they&#039;re there to try to ensure that you&#039;re actually working.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Also, why are the pictures gone?  Those bunnies are cute!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;div xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;ARTHUR:&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s true! It&#039;s true! The crowd has made it clear.&lt;br /&gt;
The photos must be cuter all the year.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A law was made a distant moon ago here:&lt;br /&gt;
A girl and pets cannot be too hot.&lt;br /&gt;
And there&#039;s a legal limit to the show here&lt;br /&gt;
In Bun-A-Lot.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All sex forbotten until the mid 20s&lt;br /&gt;
And exits forever once tiny buns begot&lt;br /&gt;
By order, no lingerie can linger&lt;br /&gt;
In Bun-A-Lot.&lt;br /&gt;
Bun-A-Lot! Bun-A-Lot!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Animal babes caught up in brassieres sounds bizarre,&lt;br /&gt;
But in Bun-A-Lot, Bun-A-Lot&lt;br /&gt;
That&#039;s how conditions are.&lt;br /&gt;
The cuteness reigns before and after sundown.&lt;br /&gt;
By eight, on your screen Cute Overload appears.&lt;br /&gt;
In short, there&#039;s simply not&lt;br /&gt;
A more congenial spot&lt;br /&gt;
For happily-ever-aftering than here&lt;br /&gt;
In ... Bun-A-Lot.&lt;br /&gt;
***&lt;br /&gt;
Happy New Year to all. Sorry I made you chunder, randomgirl. As for Nutmeg, no need to go to the archives to remember your picture and all the controversy you engendered in this little kingdom of cute.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;div xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;I like that picture! I thought it was cute and harmless! I admit, like some other people I wasn&#039;t sure the &quot;Pro Life&quot; poster really belonged in the pic, but she was obviously being photographed in her own room and it&#039;s a bit much to expect her to take down all political or religious references just to have a picture taken!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;sabrina said: &quot;lol how cute! just be greatful its not an 80 year old rack I&#039;d say...&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ahem! And what is wrong with an 80-year-old rack, Madam? You may have an 80-year-old rack yourself some day! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;div xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hmmmm...I thought people would chill out once the pictures were removed, but I guess not. Maybe I just don&#039;t know people very well. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Understanding- You state the fact that &quot;there are well-written objections to this photo&quot; as if to say that if someone can make their point eloquently, they must be right. You yourself are extremely eloquent, and after reading your comment it seems to me that you have accorded yourself the right to speak condescendingly (as &#039;bgf&#039; pointed out) to all other commentors. It is neither fair nor very classy to act like you know people better than they know themselves.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Personally, I was blissfully unaware of the fact that those photos look underage and sexual, as I am often taken for older than I really am. I would imagine it is the angle of the camera and the lack of makeup that are misleading. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;However, I am not one to ignore the consequences of my actions. As you may have noticed, I have kept close track of all of these comments and interjected my own thoughts and feelings where I deemed necessary. Although I have never once second-guessed my own intentions or the innocence of the photo, I began to feel uncomfortable with some of the comments being made. Not the critical comments, but rather the comments that rationalized the credibility of the photo by referencing my (not self-ascribed) &quot;beauty&quot; or &quot;sexuality.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It was not Cute Overload&#039;s choice to delete the photos. I chose to have the photos removed because I did not want people to get the wrong impression of me. As a teenage girl with an unfortunately over-endowed body, I have found that it is a struggle for people to acknowledge my moral lifestyle and my commitment to my intellectual and spiritual development. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Since some visitors to CO refuse to recognize my pictures for what they are - that is fun, cute, and innocent - I no longer wished to have myself exposed to undeserved and unsupported scrutiny and criticism. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I urge you to remember that I stand by my pictures and my choice to post them; I have not been convinced that they are &quot;smutty&quot; or &quot;trashy.&quot;  However, I would rather keep them to myself that have them misinterpreted by the misinformed. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]></description>
