Sure, as long as no one reports it to the FCC and the FCC doesn't follow up on the complaint.

Seriously, as long as it isn't sexual or for no reason, no one seems to care.

Everything except nipple. Just like you can show ass (big ones, you know you all like it, you lie in that poll!) but not crack.

I remember seeing something on the news once about someone who found a way for people who had been paralysed to obtain an erection and ejaculate, thus being able to have children.

They actually showed the process videotaped at some hospital... it looked like some sort of massage thingamabob that the nurse was rubbing on the guy's d*ck, and there was indeed full hard-on and everything - in the 7 o'c(l)ock news no less...

Oh dear...

I suppose you could get away with that on U.S. broadcast news, but I'm pretty sure that every single local channel and network knows better than to actually show it.

BWAHAHAHA!!! For some reason, I found that hysterically funny...

Well, the Danish news (on TV2 that is, not the ones on DR) are always trying to make the news more interesting... there was a Danish porn movie (called "Constance" if I recall correctly) which won some kind of international awards or something, and they showed a clip from that as well, although they did choose one of the less hardcore parts of the movie...

In the US, it depends a lot on the how they are presented.

Networks:
Sexual Boobs, bad.
Nonsexual, Schindlers List Boobs, OK.

Basic Cable:
Sexual Boobs, bad.
Medical Show Boobs, OK.

This is a place with a system where kissing a boob will get you an NC-17 or X rating, but chopping one off only gets you an R.

I remember they showed post-surgical boobs on a news spot about breast cancer.

I definitely wouldn't hit it.

Strange isn't it? Violence is okay, just not sexuality. Odd... maybe there's more of a fear of people picking up *deviant* sexual behavior than violent behavior. Perhaps some truth to that - I think I'd be more likely to "try out" something in a porno than to go shoot someone up like they did in [insert any movie pretty much anymore]. Not arguing for or against, just making an observation.

He can be deceptive, but I wouldn't call him a boob. He's very good at what he does, whether you like/agree with his work or not.

As long as its not on broadcast TV, I think they can show whatever the hell they want. Whether they are willing to or not is another question.

Can we possibly keep an actual topic on track.

Was there really any reason to derail the thread? let alone with something thats not even funny.

Mabye if this country has more public boobs, we would be less inclined towards violence and waging war on other countries!

Just kidding- that is a topic for another forum, I know.
