is that a breast on CNN's website?

So you're saying that UK downmarket TV is more downmarket than US downmarket TV? :D

US daytime TV is offensive more through its lack of meaningful content than anything else...it's "nothing TV".

Channel4 shows a hell of a lot that wouldn't make it onto network telly in the US. Where's iBlue when you need her to verify the truth of this?

Despite complaints, could you imagine this documentary making it onto network TV in the US?

Brits consider the C-word to be the most offensive? Interesting. That is pretty tame to me.
 
In my experience the c-word is more offensive than the f-word in the US. I've heard it used a lot more in a UK context.

I mean, what words are worse than the f-word and c-word?

Anyway, its a moot point because you'll never hear those on US TV, other than the movie channels.

After 10pm, FCC content restrictions don't apply (at least, not to radio). They also never apply to anything on cable (not just HBO/Skinimax/etc.), so Comedy Central's Secret Stash is always un-bleeped (I'm not sure if they cut stuff out for commercials, or just squeeze them in between scenes. I don know they show animated boobs when the South Park movie is on...)

I do have to agree with some of the other members in this thread about America's alleged moral standards. (See Constitutional amdenment banning gay marriage, like we don't have other things to concentrate on) I don't get why it's such a big deal if god forbid we see a breast! (See Janet Jackson, as already mentioned) Got to love those religious extremists!

I think this quote says it best, "You do realize that America was founded by prudes right? They were escaping to America to because they couldn't stand all that hot European sex." - Eurotrip (It's probably not verbatim, but you get the idea)

And I have to agree, that picture is a bit creppy. Creppy, but funny.

As a personal friend of Jesus, I can tell you he loves b00bs. God made them for His pleasure and ours. It's not faith that bans them in America, it's fear; namely the fears of little boobied moms that their babies might notice that some women have bigger ones.:eek: Not that it matters to me or teh J dude, we love 'em all ('cept for the big man boobs!);)

>edit: Y'all shoulda seen the Lord hangin wit me down in Sobe Miami. He can rap with da womens fer real.

Personal friend eh?

Can you tell him the next time he skips out on a round of beers at the pub he's going to cop a beating. We'll probably get him drunk, tar and feather him then pop him on a plane to Alice Springs without his wallet.

And no, serving up a big vat of that "wine" is not going to cover it - that stuff tastes like water no matter how red he can make it.
 
I think a body is a work of art. I can't understand (as an american) why it can not be shown on t.v. I especially thought that the mess with Janet Jackson was blown way out of proportion.

There isn't anything wrong with the human body.
 
As a typical red-blooded American, I remember what a shock it was when I moved to France 14 years ago. The first time I went to the local grocery store (Monoprix), there was a sale going on for shower sponges. The sale was such a big deal that there was a TV/VCR unit running an ad in a loop. What better way could you imagine selling a shower sponge than to show a sexy, well-endowed woman using it in the shower. And all this was happening out in the open where anyone could and did see it. And no one seemed to care--or even really notice--except me, the Puritanical American (this is the word that the French use to describe Americans when discussing sex). There were many other examples like this one during my time in France, but this first one was the most memorable since it was so unexpected.
