It's funny how the white shirt has become a symbol of piety, all because it is the required attire for missionaries and a symbolic color for baptism. I think we sometimes need to be reminded that such rules and policies have a purpose, but when self righteousness supersedes purpse, there is a problem. I am reminded that the rosary was once a simple tool for remembering to pray, and that incense was used to make the church smell good. Even a Moroni-less temple (of which there are a handful) is still a House of the Lord. I am not knocking those who see those items as holy and a necessary liturgy, but we should beware of making a white shirt a symbol of righteousness. It is no more or less holy for Sunday worship than a blue, black or plaid shirt.
As to cartoon boobies, they should be avoided if used for (pardon the pun) titillation.
