I see it this way: if you cannot come up with a logical reason why certain things are taboo, then they shouldn't be controlled or censored to begin with.
Why is swearing taboo? Really, it's just a word. What does it matter if you call feces "poop" or "shit"? Why does it matter if you say, "This fucking door won't open"?
Why is sex/nudity so taboo? It's all a part of our biological makeup like breating and eating. Why does naked David need to be censored? As if a 5 year old kid can't pull down his pants and see what's beteen his/her legs and question what it is... if they see a breast, why is that wrong? Let's say, for the sake of argument, that a child saw two people having sex. Why do we think it will ruin them for life? "OMG, our son just saw boobs on tv... what are we going to do?!"
Why are people so hung up on these trivial issues? There's no logical answer for any of it, so it needs to stop.
Violence makes more sense to control. I mean, you hear and see all kinds of crazy violence after 7 PM. CSI shows dead bodies all bloodied up and these same "crime" shows often show people getting shot. Why is it okay to feed those types of scenes to people, but it's not okay to show a nude woman taking a shower?
It's like anything else: if you don't want to see it, don't watch it. You KNOW what type of shows will show certain things. CSI showing violence - if you don't like violence, it doesn't take a genius to think, "Hey, maybe I shouldn't watch this show. Maybe Wheel of Fortune or a sitcom would suit me better." Or let's say that Desperate Housewives showed breasts/penis on occasion, you know damn well that watching a show like that could present you with these situations, so don't watch it. It's not really about what offends people, because they should be smart enough to stay away from the things that do offend them.
You KNOW that by listening to Howard Stern, you will most certainly be subjected to explicit sexual talk at times. You have to be pretty damn ignorant to not know that Howard Stern talks about such things, and he's a prime target for the FCC. The majority of his audience WANTS to hear these types of things, so saying, "well it's not fair to offend some people.." is absurd. Flat out, if you don't want to be offended, don't freakin listen to Howard Stern because you KNOW it's coming.. and when it does and you're still listening, you better keep that mouth shut because no one forced you to sit through it.
That's also why we have warnings and disclaimers on certain shows. Comedy Central shows completely UNCENSORED shows each and every saturday at 1 AM along with a warning. If you see the warning and continue to watch Chris Rock, or South Park the Movie, you really have no right complaining about it.
That's what I mean when I say this country is backwards and hypocritical. It baffles me as to why so many people can't think outside of the box and question these things.
