When these bunch of x-ray images of ostensibly nude models was unleashed upon the internet earlier this year, it caused a riot of controversy and comments. Is it porn? Were they even real to begin with?

Well the companies behind the images—it’s used in a calendar, by the way—have just come out and said, “No.” The images are all graphics, a virtual model.

Design firm Butter was the brains behind this concept, using racy pixels to sell EIZO’s Medical Pin-up Calender. The latter company actually makes the x-ray monitors the calendar was designed to sell.

“We are sorry to tell you that our calendar girl is just a virtual model so we can not send you any pictures of her,” Butter told Wired.com.

Still, pornography doesn’t have to be restricted to ‘real’ photographs—just look at those Japanese fetishes. These x-ray images aren’t that explicit, of course; but they sure are suggestive. So, pornography or not?
