I agree entirely - it is both a wonderful thing and a teachable moment. Thank you for running the Carnival - it has brought me readers and shown me some good Aussie blogs. Best regards, Andrew Hi Megan,

If porn is about the objectification of women for a sexual gain then I hardly think displaying boobs for cancer fits the bill. Isn't that what we women do every time we line up for a squash session at the mammogram clinic anyway? I do however, think that it is a parents job to talk to their kids about why the people are showing their boobs. This would help to take away any immature notions of "rudeness" and hormone driven ogling. Unfortunately, it will not only be the pre teens and teens who drip saliva!!!! The boobieathon is a teachable moment and excellent way to capture community participation for a very worthy cause. Thanks for submitting to the Carnival of Australia.

I agree entirely - there are small minded people who would differ, and this is a great pity. It should not detract from all the fine work that the Boobiethon organisers have put in. Best regards, Andrew Hi robyn,
