Are they only allowed to show flaccid penis ?

They had them on "Lucky Louie".

I've never seen such blatant male genitals on a TV show.

Did they show em on Queer as Folk?
I dont remember any on the prison show.

Yea, but they can show someones eyeball being torn out. What a world.

i thought this was the name of a new HBO series.

Oz would frequently show you a flaccid penis. flaccid penises and shanking..two things Oz is famous for

Oz was the greatest show ever on tv.

why can't they show an erect penis?

not that i would really care, but i've always found this interesting, well the whole issue of sex and censorship. i mean you can watch people die a billion different ways on the telly but when it comes to showing 2 people getting it on they act like it's a forbidden sight, like no one has seen such a sight before. i'm like motherfucker none of us would be here if somebody didn't bust a nut. know what i'm saying?

I know, it's so messed up. I just don't get it either.

The canadian version of HBO shows both flaccid and fully erect little buddies. Hell, they show hardcore porn every night after midnight. A few of our basic cable channels will allow full frontal nudity in the primetime hours.

oz would show naked penis being shoved into the hole, but not in a good way.

Isn't it hard to shank with a flaccid penis?

American tv is censored and prudish

I've always wondered why there's been such a big deal to show a penis on TV yet you can show titties and the cooch like it's nothing. It's as if the penis is the most evil bodypart a man can have. It's just this American society I guess but I don't see why the double standard exist. It's stupid.

Flaccid or not, now I have a reason to watch Lucky Louie

HBO is good for showing penis, whether it's OZ, Real Sex, or Cathouse
