Things can be offensive even if they don't offend you personally. I like dead baby jokes, but they're clearly an offensive area.
I'm thinking that one possible basis is that it's not wise to overstimulate kids well before they're mature enough to handle the topic of sexuality, or their view on the matter could be unhealthily skewed. I just pulled that out of my ass, however. It may be BS.
The other reasons that come to mind are religious in nature.
Would you agree that public TV should be fined when they broadcast nudity without warning? What about cable TV, when the audience has no reason to expect nudity?
Would it be acceptable to ban nudity on public TV, but allow it with no restrictions on cable? (This is where I'm undecided, currently, leaning toward 'yes'.)
