So I’ve been temporarily banned from Facebook because I shared the iconic Burt Reynolds’ 1972 Cosmopolitan spread.
The photo apparently violates Facebook’s policy on nudity and sexuality.
The same exact photo that has appeared on the Dinner is Served 1972 Facebook page multiple times over the past seven years.
You all know it.
Because it is legendary.
Facebook has issued formal apologies to users, like yours truly, who had the photo removed.
So, you’re sorry. Whatever.
Let’s examine the possible reasons why a photo such as this–where there is no actual nudity–would be ‘banned.’
Reasons could include:
Feel free to add your own reasons.
OH! And it’s not Facebook that’s necessarily doing it. I’ve been informed that in order for a post is deemed ‘inappropriate’ someone has to ‘report’ it to the Facebook powers that be.
So who the hell is the prudish fuddy duddy is that keeps putting this under the category of porn?
THIS IS NOT PORN!
I can’t share this on Facebook. Because: banned. But if you want to fight the power, please like the Dinner Is Served 1972 page and share this link!
But not this photo. Burt’s bum may get you banned for LIFE.
Damn, Rudy. It’s just not right to drink cider and Smirnoff when it’s 80 degrees…

RIP Burt Reynolds, owner of the finest and most-unwaxed tush of the 1970s.
Nipples it all because male nipples are like men themselves. Useless & therefore should never be see.
I love this.
so hypocritcal
you can call people names, mess with the country
but a picture like that is banned
EXACTLY!
I have no words! I keep thinking of what I see on FB that isn't banned & when I start to voice it I'm gobsmacked! This was in Cosmo for crying out loud! I'm just at a loss, going to get a drink. SMH, WTF!
I want to know who reported it!!!!
It's the body hair. There is an international manscaping conspiracy to stamp out the natural pelt that males are gifted with by the Almighty Gods. Fight The Power!
YES! Free the chest hair!
