Why are we still afraid of the naked human body, sexuality and four-letter words?

As far as the media goes, it's okay to show violence but not okay to show two people making love.

How come they can say "boob" on the radio, but they can't say "tit"? For that matter, why can they say "making love", but they can't say "fucking"? What is up with the language police? It's like we're living in the dark ages.

halleluijiah! (or some godly spelling thereof)

BE HEALED!

Ace said:

Anxiety said:

cborgman said:

I've got an interesting book at home about censorship and children, kind of attacks the "Who'll think of the children" argument/hysteria. I'll have to find it when I get home. It presents some interesting ideas.

What always gets me is how in movies it is ok to show a womans breast or crotchal area. But its a huge deal when a man's penis shows up on the big screen.

There are boobs everywhere and very little penis.

Even in soft porn (you know that stuff some people pay for in hotel rooms) there is no dick. I guess that's what makes it soft if there was penis it woud be considered hard. (pun very much intended)

Yeah, that's a joke, as well.

As George Carlin puts it,

"You can say 'Prick my finger'
"but you can't say 'Finger my prick.'".

Yes , i've noticed it's a taboo in America , lots of censorship ,
i saw a documentary about it
Those conservatives are prudes and have far too much influence on the media
