Holy cow!  It was meant to be funny.   It probably still is; however,
there is a way to become less self-conscious about nudity once you become
more aware of the reasons why we have our hang-ups.  In respect to "kids
and nudity in art" if the setting is an educational one, in a museum,
with people there to properly interpret the items, then kids should not
be embarrassed by the subject; however, if the one instructing the kids
is embarrassed by the subject, well, just forget it, don't do it.
