This seems a very strange line of argument. Are you comparing Ms Winslet to a large dollop of ice cream? Who is this person on a diet? Should I perhaps stop consuming food in public, lest I entice someone else to over-eat? How about those horror movies I was chatting about? It doesn't bear thinking about, does it? What kind of appetite would *they* incite?

And by the same reasoning, we should remove all images of animals, so as not to tempt the people who are trying to overcome their bestiality. And the images of people, so as not to tempt those who are trying to avoid the voices in their heads which are telling them to murder people.
