| | Posted: | | | | Things like this make me embarassed to be American.
To the rest of the world:
Most of us Americans are not like the few who make and set the rules. I love nudity, porn movies, and having sex. It's the autorities who have all the sexual and nudity hangups. Most of the common folk love bare breasts and butts (my GF always reads the new Playboys and Maxims before I do, and she's not even into girls anymore!) |

I was always surprised at the paranoia-like fear of American networks and movie studios of showing T&A while at the same time not having any problem whatsoever broadcasting or releasing explicit showings of violence. Seems like a strange take on the mental abilities of the US people: they are perfectly capable to survive exposure to explicit violence (headshots, dismemberment, tearing limbs etc.) but they'll suffer WHATEVER if exposed to a shot of ass, tits or sexual activity. Probably has something to do with the NRA and Charlton Heston.... | | | | Lutz |

Sometimes I look at it that way. Most times I think back to my band/playa days and figure the less girls invovled, the less problems for everyone, esp. me! Having been in both situations, I have to say, I honestly am not missing out and have a damn good thing. Not to say if my GF wanted to bring another along I'd flip and scream NO!  | | | | Last edited: by bigdaddyhorse |

US network faces $1m nudity fine
US television network ABC may have to pay a fine of $1.4m (£707,000) for airing an episode of NYPD Blue which depicted female nudity. They might have to pay a fine for this but nobody cared that they also showed Dennis Franz's arse? Something is really wrong here.  | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

| | Posted: | | | | This reminds of a German crime series in the early 80's where the cop used the german equivalent of the F-word 73 times (counted by a newspaper writer who didn't have anything better to do) in 90 minutes. Our guardians of public moral nearly burned down the broadcasting station.
Today 73 times would only last for the first 30minutes and noone gives a f###.
So come on America, show more titts and ass, maybe your guardians of public morality will give up one day too.
EDIT: Yes I'm talking of "Schimanski" | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

| | Posted: | | | | I still remember fondly the good days of TV when they used to show a Red Triangle on the screen to show that the following program included nudity etc. I used to channel surf for hours looking for red triangles.. | | | | Paul |
