Peter,
Now *that's* obscene. Fully agreed. Go to E3, the most important computer and video game trade show in the world, and what you take with you from it is this impression: "In the US, violence is ok any time, any way - sex isn't." That indeed is obscene. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |

"StellaStar" wrote in message ... Sydney observes... It's OK to have a halftime show featuring some dude wrapped in an American flag and singing all kinds of "nasty" but a little tit has everyone in a tither? Yup. What a humorous way to yank the news channels away from politics for a day. Ya hire MTV to stage a spectacle and they put in rude behavior, bad language, and scantily clad chickies? Well, knock me over with a feather! Next year they'll retain Victoria's Secret to do the show, and never suspect there may be underwear involved. Already been done. They called it the Lingerie Bowl. |

The blue noses here in the USA would really choke if they walked past any
newstand in europe, or watched the tele after the childrens bedtime... denny .. But the uproar over the exposed breast is still absurd, given the context. Pete |

I'd only choke if my young kid was walking with me. Otherwise, the proper term would be "gawking," not choking. But I reckon that's just me. -- Jim Fisher |

Apparently, any standards of behavior above that of animals are too much for some people. That's a bit broad. I choose the standards that I think should be promoted and consider many other standards silly. Make love not war |

It is like saying that we should repeal the laws against rape because there are still people willing to commit murder. But that's not really the argument. The argument is that naked bodies (human, cat, etc.) aren't really something about which sane people should be uptight. Consensual sex between adults isn't something about which sane people should be uptight. After all, we hope our children grow up to have bodies and be sexual beings (ever wonder from where Grandkids come? {8^). However, I at least hope that violence doesn't play a significant role in my child's life. Thus, exposure to violence - esp. the nonsensical variations so popular in the media today - is not welcome. It's really two separate issues. From where do you get the idea that the human body is something of which we should be ashamed? - Andrew |
