I need to see some evidence

When it comes to nudity, Europeans are prone to observing that Americans are ... prudes.

Must be a slow news day. If it's blurred out, that means it is not shown, doofus.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

This is the logical end result of the liberal model of television drama and comedy. They need to keep “pushing the limits” to keep people interested. Look back at what was “edgy” sexual banter in the 70s and it sounds almost quaint — you could get giggles by just suggesting two people were going to have sex. Now you need full frontal nudity to keep people interested. Give it 20 years and they'll have people having sex on TV with a small amount of pixilation. And people will be board with it. Titillation is no substitute for good writing.

The nakedest movie I have ever seen was rated PG.

Tanya Roberts in “Sheena”. As one might guess, it was an awful movie. I will say Tanya was a well formed girl.

Major contributers to this would be Starz network Spartacus and Magic City. ;)

Just following the rules ( without getting into trouble )

From the article:

"Simulated or blurred nudity can be just as titillating as real nudity in the human brain. Upon any stimulus, the brain searches for anything remotely similar or familiar, and reacts in a similar manner," she said. "If something is missing -- as in pixelization -- the brain will fill in the blanks from the existing storehouse of knowledge. Indeed, it will work harder to do so than if the real image were there..."

Is that the chick that was in Beastmaster?

[yarddog]

The shows which do more harm than most are the ones like “Seinfeld” in which casual sex is treated as totally proper and normal.

The fact that it can be really funny does not change the fact that it harms the nation.

You should know that this sort of post cuts into the amount of time that Freepers have for bashing Todd Akin.

That makes it both hugh and series.

The most risque show I'm willing to watch is Gilligan's Island. It was always running into trouble with the censors over Mary Anne's midriff and Ginger's breasts.

[*Does not like girly threads*] They belong in the Smoky Backroom.. CU l8tr..

[count-your-change]

The human obsession with its own genitalia is passing strange and I suppose it is the result of a twisted appetite for titillation.

A little bit of flesh uncovered will, however, cover over a lot of missing talent.

So, PTC doesn't really have much in the way of nudity so they're going after pixellation as the latest evil?

What's next - bra ads in the JCPenney catalog?

[ladyjane]

Girly threads? Is it only girls that are shown or is there full frontal nudity for men too? IF so, what channels have this stuff?

[Bigg Red]

So glad I don’t subject myself to any of this trash....

[SeekAndFind]

Is that the chick that was in Beastmaster?
Yes, the same...



She was also a Bond girl when Roger Moore was James Bond in A VIEW TO A KILL...

She is easy on the eyes.
