American culture is stupid. The majority of people are ignorant drones and that will probably never change.

Network news (Fox, NBC, CBS, ABC) can repeatedly show the planes slamming into the WTC on 9/11, but they can't show a boob? Something is screwed up with that, and the fact that the majority of americans aren't making that connection is equally disturbing.

I also wish someone would have the balls (either Janet or Justin) and say, "Look, what happened really wasn't that bad. You prudes really need to get over it and realize there are a lot worse things on TV during prime time." If they have THAT much influence on the kids as everyone says they do, then perhaps that will put a spark in the minds of most people to think and worry about themselves.

Video games like Grand Theft Auto and Manhunt can show EXPLICIT gratuitous violence... killing cops, blowing things up, cutting people's throats with a shard of glass, etc.. but if they show a topless woman in a video game, I bet there'd be an uproar!

At least the publishers are getting smarter and testing the system. Manhunt doesn't think twice about uttering the word "fuck".
