WTF!

Why is it that I can see and/or listen to an injured Iraqi getting his brains blown out on network tv, but a little bare back is downright unacceptable?

Violence okay, a little tit and ass is not.

Will I ever understand?!?!?

It has to do with the purpose of the gore and/or sexuallity. The point of showing an Iraqi getting his brains blown out is informative. The point of showing someone's bare ass on a movie is to be 'explicit' and/or entertain. Not all find bare asses entertaining, so they complain and the hollywood executives care enough to put a rating on it so the right types of people go and watch and they can get maximum profit. However, no one can disagree with the educational value of an Iraqi's brains getting blown out without looking very far removed from reality. Just like people can't deny the educational value of seeing naked people in a human anatomy textbook.

At what point do you get so detached that watching the Iraqi having his brains blown out is no longer informative (because nothing will ever be done about it) but entertaining?

I admit that the start of the war on Iraq was pretty exciting. Green bombs exploding everywhere. I know people were dying but I was there for the fireworks.

And Groty, you can watch bare back on PBS. Then its informative.

I don't think that education and detachment are mutually inclusive. In fact, I think emotional detachment is what allows you to find it entertaining when someone gets his brains blown out. The beginning of the war on Iraq was exciting precisely because the reality of people dying had not sunk in yet. So everyone was probably more detached at the beginning than they are now. The reason I think people get offended by stuff that's supposed to be entertaining is that they're NOT detached.

I wonder if there's ever been a Nova about porn and/or sex.

I remember watching a "True Life" episode on MTV about breast implants. (I admit I watch MTV on occasion) They showed bare breasts of young women who were getting implants or breast reductions. The funny thing was that when the women were in the doctor's office, they would show everything, but when the women were at home at looking at their breasts, the nipples would be blurred. I found this ridiculous.

are you sure you want more ass? Even if all the prudes detach themselves, the media execs will still try to make all types of people represented on an equal basis. So attractive female butts will only be shown maybe a 7th of time. The other 6 types of butts will probably be based on the type of people who want their group portrayed: gay men, old ladies, old men, midgets, hermaphrodites, albinos, etc.

Well that makes sense to me, a naked woman in a doctor's office is professional porn. A naked woman at home is amateur porn. MTV has standards you know. lol

Are you saying that and albino can't have a nice ass? That's discrimintation and I am not totally sure that its not racism. haa haa. Poor albinos.

Seriously though, why do you have to take away people's dreams. Why can't we have our dreams?

Maybe they could have a nice ass channel. That could be Ass1, then it would go down to like Ass10 featuring some of the groups you mentioned. I am sure old women might want to look at old men's asses. And the gay men already have showcase.

I was all set to blame guardians for taking this away from us. I can see no other group more responsible for halting "progress" than them. Now its you booyalab or should I call you "stealer of dreams"?

BTW, you can call me a racist if you want, but I sure as hell don't want to see any glow-in-the-dark ass on my tv. I don't really like how asses look anyways.

Well...

I'm just pissed about the media throwing a fit about the T.O. Monday Night Football Promo with Nicollette Sheridan's bare back. Yet, no one says anything about the video on the news showing an injured Iraqi taking a bullet in the head, just cause he was still breathing.

I think that Nip/Tuck is pushing the edge in the proper fashion. Hell, many of the most popular shows on TV are on Premium cable channels. Sopranos, Six Feet Under, etc... So there is a mass acceptance of such lude, jiggly acts on television.

I think porn or stripping or the like brings the observer to the same level as the one doing the entertaining. So if it's degredation to the porn star, it's degredation to the one watching it. I don't know if all porn is degredation though, I guess, like porn addictions..maybe it depends on how much you let it control you.

It's all in how you look at it, maybe the albinos are smiling because the evil melanin-enhanced ones have exploited them to the point of insanity.

Outsiders View of the Evolution of this thread:




Ace : OK, so here is how I tracked the transition: first, the relatively hypocritical standard of NOT censoring the horrific act of a headshot, while T&A goes overly censored (why the hell didn't they censor Dennis Franz's ass in NYPD Blue?)
Ace : second, Albinos were thrown into the mix. Why? Easy, its easy to pick on them, because they do not come out insunlight, they might burn.
Ace : so there is little danger of physical repercussions from the albino movement.
Ace : third, in moved the need for additional channels to support the numerous varieties of "ass" which can be viewed.
Groty : I'm gonna post this
Groty : keep going
Ace : anyway, then it shifted into the concept of degradation of people... but not for the original idea of someone being shot on television, but for stripping and nudity.
Ace : At some point, we reach the idea that ass-showing albinos are being exploited by the "melanin-enhanced ones" and are smiling due to dementia induced happiness.
Ace : At least we got back to exploitation...
Ace : in some twisted, Dali way, its a full circle.
Ace : I guess the crux of my little IM rant is this: We are in a society of ADD afflicted internet surfers, bouncing from one subject to another like we are hopped up on caffiene. That is the ONLY possible explaination of how we could move from the topic of horrific, brain spattering gunshots to exploited, demented pale individuals performing sexual/semi-sexual acts.
Ace : and being happy about it

Actually, I'm not surprised by his apology. He is known for his on the field celebrations. That's it. He gets too much heat because he celebrates and league doesn't protect him. Then you have all of the players that kids look up to, like Ray Lewis, who get nailed for drug posession, shootings, wife beating, steroids, the list goes on... They are all protected by the League. T.O. walks very carefully.

The funniest part of all of this is that I didn't see the start of MNF but now I have seen the skit like 10 times. I guess its ok because its news now and you can show anything on the news. The people complaining should learn to keep their mouths shut.

This thread reminds me of talking to my dad (who took me to see Beverly Hills Cop when I was 6 but always switched the TV in a hurry if he saw people about to kiss) about The Sopranos. "What a great show," he said. "I just can't understand why they have to use the F word all the time." Nothing about the cutting-a-guy-up-in-the-bathtub; it's all about the F-bomb.

My dad's like that too, but i think it's mostly because my stepmom is a complete prude in that respect and he goes along with it.

They won't let my 14 year old half sister see a PG13 movie if it's PG13 for sexuality or swearing, but they won't hesitate to take her to an R movie if it's just for violence.

My six-year-old sister already wonders why she can see dead people on TV but naked people are forbidden. I'm not sure how to answer her question without sowing the seeds of a virulent misanthropy.

How 'bout a virulent hypocrisy?:)

It has to do with the purpose of the gore and/or sexuallity. The point of showing an Iraqi getting his brains blown out is informative. The point of showing someone's bare ass on a movie is to be 'explicit' and/or entertain. Not all find bare asses entertaining, so they complain and the hollywood executives care enough to put a rating on it so the right types of people go and watch and they can get maximum profit. However, no one can disagree with the educational value of an Iraqi's brains getting blown out without looking very far removed from reality. Just like people can't deny the educational value of seeing naked people in a human anatomy textbook.

Alternatively, booyalab's explanation above might be sufficient...
