The RJ is reporting that the city of Las Vegas has removed two pieces of art from a gallery that connects the City Hall to the garage, after receiving an anonymous complaint. I’ve posted one of the pieces here, which is by Kristin Pinkerton.

From the article:

City Manager Doug Selby said the pictures were taken down because of fears that the city could be sued for violating Title VII.

As Lee said to me, I guess they’d rather be sued for First Amendment violations.

Of course, the real hypocrisy in all of this is that this is happening in Las Vegas , where billboards with almost naked women in lusty poses are de rigeur.

Update: Word is that they are putting them back up today.
