OT (sort of): CBS revisited

You have to draw the line somewhere. Personally, I think there is way
too much bare flesh as it is, for both men and women.

That's fine, if the exposed human body freaks you out, then by all means you
should shield yourself from it. Ironically, it's the religious zealots who
seem to be most afraid of looking at nudes as their bible says man was
created in his likeness - you'd think they would be the ones promoting us to
be in our most god-like state. Then again, what is yet another
contradiction?

Everyone seems
to want to go around dressed as some sort of prostitute. Selling sexy
clothes, jewelry and makeup to three year olds is a multi-billion
dollar industry in this country. Now, that really is embarrassing. We
spend a fortune fighting child porn on the one hand and dress kids as
porn stars on the other. Talk about a mixed message....

Perhaps if children were raised where the body weren't so taboo, people
wouldn't be so jazzed by it. Look at the tribes in Africa, do the kids
giggle and the oldsters scowl when a woman walks by in her natural state?

Children run around blissfully naked until they are taught it is "wrong".

FYI: as a teenager, the easiest chicks were the ones who's parents sent them
to to "girl only" schools. They just couldn't wait to find out what their
parents were "protecting" them from.

Maybe I'm just getting old and grouchy, but I long for the days when
some public decorum was expected. It might have been hypocritical on
the part of some, but at least you knew that there were lines you
shouldn't cross.

Maybe you are simply closed minded.

Anyway, I suppose that now we will see it on TV more and more until it
becomes accepted.

Every TV I've ever seen has a power switch.

Then the yahoos will be complaining that it is
embarrassing that we don't allow hard core porn to be broadcast on
TV. Allen Bloom wrote once wrote that patriots made enormous
sacrifices to protect freedom, the best minds were marshaled to
develop the most advanced technology, loving parents scraped and
sacrificed, and for what? So that some eight year old can listen to a
drag queen sing the praises of onanism and murdering parents on his
own CD player. What will future generations think? Bloom noted that a
society's greatest excesses always seem normal to itself. Perhaps our
television of today will seem as barbaric and uncivilized to some
future generation as the Roman circuses seem to us.

The "for what" is for personal gain, as is most exemplified in the USA.

Certainly most citizens don't give a rat's ass what "future generations"
think (as in saddling them with our debt with our current drunken sailor at
the helm) just as we don't care what our global neighbors think.
