@Lux Alptraum: I'm reasonably sure that is Palin's pussy with her own hairstyle as pubes on it... the larger view give sme that impression, anyway... because if it's a moose cock it's pretty tiny, and also you can see what looks to be her pussy lips.
It seems to me like John D. Long "Your Humble Servant" was looking for something to complain about. And thus, his rant wasn't fully thought out. As BeautifulAgony points out, the problem is whether eBay thinks Dan Lacey's drawing is 'Adult' or not. See their policy. [pages.ebay.com]
But no one is complaining about these full frontal items:
I emailed eBay in defense of Dan Lacey's work and received a generic response. I wouldn't be surprised if J.D. Long also received a similarly unsympathetic email to his complaint.
I thought of blogging about this but then decided the conservative nut wasn't worth it and didn't deserve anymore attention.
meh, I really just can't manage to care.... It's just terms of service. They have every right to block whatever they like, even if for wholly ridiculous reasons that only a retarded monkey on crack could fathom. But, in the end, it's their right to conduct business as they please, as much as it may irk us and ruffle our feathers.
The lesson to walk away with here should not be, "how to fight oppression and stick it to the man" but rather "here is a business niche you can take advantage of, since some upright, conservative pricks are having a wiggins over some picture" and make yourself some cashy money.
The only issue here is if the item in question was correctly listed as "Adult Only" in which case, their TOS would allow it if it was within their specified guidelines. The TOS states, rather clearly, that full frontal nudity requires this categorization. Even a game like Fallout 3 requires the Adult Only category.
@BeautifulAgony: That's not true - Fine art nude pics can be on the general audiences section of the site. The adult section is for whats more likely to be considered porn. I know that the definition of fine are can leave it up to some interpretation, but there are plenty of art nudes in the regular section. See: http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/adult-only.html

In any case, I get covered with warm, delicious, sticky syrup.

So it looks like Lacey may be in the clear.
