This is the dumbest thing I have ever heard in my life. I don’t know what to say except :rolleyes:
OMG!
Interesting reason. I figured maybe they had banned them simply because the parents filming are a distraction.
But this is just a weird reason.
Well, yeah, but they ARE doing the all-nude Nativity version, with Mary in a merry widow and spike heels . . .
I suppose pedophiles never look at photos taken with a regular camera?
Are they banning annual school photos also?
My thoughts exactly, as there is such a thing as a scanner. 
Ahh, the well-mening brainless of the world. I always specify a Kodak CD along with my prints when I drop off my 35 mm film.
You all scoff, but I plan on making a mint with my child size burkhas, suitable for ages 0-14.
Well, it’s nice to know I can still be appalled by just how stupid people can get, I suppose.

We weren’t allowed to tape my daughter’s ballet recital, but only because a professional was taping and they were selling the videos.
I think I know who your first customer will be.
Or Gary Glitter. :eek:
Ditto.
Great Goddess among us. weeps for the future
Oh for fuck’s sake. Knee-jerk reaction much? There aren’t enough profanities in the world to describe my utter disgust towards this idiotic policy.
[tangent] I have the school play scene from Hook in my head now. Especially the part where the play begins and every parent in the audience picks up their video camera. [/tangent]
School administrator: “oh…yeah. That would have made a lot more sense. Is it too late to change our answer?”
Someone doth protest too much. Some school admin in Bedfordshire is desperately afraid of his latent pedophilic tendencies.
You’ve gotta admit, though, that photo accompanying the BBC news article linked by the OP is pretty damn hot. Phwoar, eh?
[sub]What? Stop looking at me like that. What did I say?[/sub]
His little girl in the picture at the bottom looks so sad. 
But in all seriousness, there is some weird irony in a situation where a person is trying to ban photos of children in a nativity play in case they get into the hands of pedophiles on the internet, as a result of which a person publishes a news story on the internet about the ban containing a photo showing children in a nativity play.
One of these people is out of touch with reality, and it ain’t the journalist.
Pedophiles get their rocks off from watching kids dressed up as Mary and Joseph? Now why would they do that when they could turn on ESPN anytime and see pubescent gymnasts and figure skaters all dressed up in their tight fitting sparkly outfits?
Something isn’t adding up here.
