Non-censorship

I found that suprising but its good that there's one website out there that's not censored. That was a nothing incident really. Showing naked bodies on TV isn't a problem for most of us Brits. We don't get scared by nipples anymore. Of course some of our TV channels have gone a little too far, but they are on satellite and not proper programmes anyway.

I thought it was a non-issue too. Hell I watched that program and I didn't even notice the damn thing. Who pays that much attention such a lame-ass song in the halftime show ?

That's not surprising - it was hardly hard core pornography now was it. Well, not to most people anyway, only the vocal ones with the biggest sticks to shake. :(

I've seen twats written uncensored on the BBC before at the beginning of a Fawlty Towers episode, but I never thought I'd see the day when they published a news article containing the word fuck uncensored in print. Let alone the phrase "Now fuck off and cover something important you twats!" : http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/4247237.stm[^] I guess you can't censor the news. :rolleyes:

From the ruckus it created you would imagine that they both had sex on stage or something :) I think most people simply did not give a damn about the whole incident but the ones that were offended would not shut up and that's why we're still talking about it one year on.

I wouldn't want my kids seeing that, and I'm willing to bet there are a lot more people like me. What I find ironic is these TV stations allow skimpier and skimpier clothing daily and yet when a skimpy garment flops it's all of the sudden horrible. Or seeing 95% of a boob or a chick in lingerie is ok, but the nipple is just wrong. Well, if they would've made her ass put some real clothes on to begin with they could've prevented the thing all together. If people want to look at naked people, then at least keep it on the channels that can be easily blocked. That way everyone is happy and not just one side of the fence. And then, parents can let their kids look at all the tits they want. [edit] And yeah, it is scary that I'm starting to think like a parent now. [/edit] Jeremy Falcon

Jeremy Falcon wrote: And yeah, it is scary that I'm starting to think like a parent now I'm impressed, Jeremy, I really am :) And I don't think its right that there should be nudity on prime time tv either. But I just think too much was made of it...as you say there is skimpy clothing and questionable material on many tv shows (especially some of the stupider reality ones) and people ignore that and one thing like this happens and everyone who's someone tries to get in the news by loudly condemning it. I thought that laughable. Simply fine that woman (who was obviously responsible) and move on.

Ramanan Sivan wrote: Simply fine that woman (who was obviously responsible) and move on. Well, I do think if the network didn't allow the skimpy clothing in the first place, it wouldn't have happened. I figure they should both be fined. Jeremy Falcon

Apparently it was the most requested replay item on TiVo by a huge margin. i.e. People voted with their remotes; they liked it, wanted it and replayed it to death. "Oh how scandalous that was Mary Jane, we can't have that filth T.V. Now let's see it again..."

That really wasn't that nice a teat, anyway. Why don't those people buy a magazine or something, and leave their "scandal" comments unsaid?:doh: "If it's Snowbird season, why can't we shoot them?" - Overheard in a bar in Bullhead City

What if you have two kids, would you let the older one look on while the other one is breast-fed? Just what is so horrible with seeing a partially exposed breast (her nipple was covered) for one second? Everyone and their mothers has seen breasts. Regards, Alvaro

I seriously doubt the majority of them would say that to their girlfriends, etc. Some, but not most. Also, I doubt most of them would rewind to show their kids. And, consider the average user base of TiVo -- they probably are desperate guys who spend too much time watching TV (I'm sure to get voted down for that). Jeremy Falcon

Oh right, you mean the same people who tune into the Super Bowl and watch the adverts with an annoying break for football. regards, Paul Watson South Africa The Code Project Pope Pius II said "The only prescription is more cowbell. "

It's not about forcing women to expose their breasts. It's about whether it's OK for children to be exposed to breasts. Children are born exposed to breasts but somehow when one pops out on TV for a second, it's horribly wrong. Alvaro

Actually, I do know some people that do that. Jeremy Falcon

Or, would you want the world seeing your wife's breasts on TV? I mean, they are just breasts right? We see them all the time. No big deal. BTW, you didn't answer the question. Jeremy Falcon
