The Fig Leaf of Democracy. Literally.

Via The Register, this is your chance to vote on whether the online NHS Choices 'body map' should be Anatomically Accurate or more along the lines of Action Man. Click here and vote for goolies!

(Note: the illustrations on the vote page are, of necessity, of a nature that some incredibly repressed and neurotic people might consider NSFW. If anyone complains, point out that it's an HMG-sponsored NHS site and that you're doing your duty by looking at it to keep yourself healthy and your absenteeism down. So there.)

Have you seen the actual article they'll be on (http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Pages/bodymap.aspx)? Those things are vile. She doesn't even have nipples, for goodness' sake. Ugh.

Well, that's the point; the new images are meant to be a bit more authentic. The new look female is certainly ennippleated, even in the bowdlerised version.

If I looked like the chap on the right, I'd be very concerned.

And while the bloke looks OK bald (grin), the woman really needs some hair.
