American Morality Compass

Tell me something: Why is it that violence and murder are ok to talk about in graphic detail, but sex and nudity isn't? Opie and Anthony got into trouble for making a joke about violent sex with various prominent women. Personally, I don't see the fuss. You'll notice that the majority of "complaints" that the FCC and other regulatory bodies get are from various groups that don't represent the majority of the American public.

XM is already hemorrhaging customers because of their decision to suspend Opie and Anthony. That's based in part that when you purchase a satellite radio, you're SUPPOSED to get uncensored radio. When you suspend a DJ for making comments, you're showing yourself to be a hypocrite.

But my point is a much larger one. Why is it that on CSI you'll see graphic violence and details of horrible ways to die all day long, but people get upset if they see one tit? To tell you the truth, I'd rather have it the other way around. I'd love to see boobies on TV all the time and occasional violence. But then again, I'm a man, so you'll have to take that with a grain of salt. But I'm pretty sure that my women readers would love to see a hot shirtless guy on TV much more with the occasional butt shot. (every woman I know doesn't like to see the wang).

In Europe you see sex on TV much more then you do here in America. They seem to be ok with all of it. They haven't spun out of control and turned into mindless, sex crazed maniacs (at least all the Euro types I know)

Sex solves everything for us men. Bad day at work? Wrecked the car? Lost your job? Sex will fix all those problems. It's not the same for women, they usually use shopping as their "fix all".

So I propose this: More boobies on TV. More shirtless men on TV (for the women and gay men in the audience) People getting a grip on their own lives before trying to complain and impose their idea of morality on the rest of us. For example, a report came out a few years ago that showed that 1 group was responsible for 99% of all FCC complaints. That doesn't sound like the majority of American public opinion to me. So, that said, more boobies on TV! Who's with me!
