You can't knowingly watch something like that then turn around and complain. (I'm not saying *you*, just people in general).
I see no logical reason why nudity or swearing should be censored period, as long as they're in their proper places.

Taken together, I agree with this. The caveat: nudity, and to a lesser extent, swearing, is not expected on network TV. The same goes for quite a few cable channels. Effectively, I would consider that implicative of a ban, unless advance warning is given and given very conspicuously. They're not considered proper places.
I agree with the general idea of leaving it up to the parents, but I don't approve of leniency that makes it unreasonably hard for the parents to monitor the situation. Perhaps we agree here? We're close, at any rate.
For those that are still echoing the 'free speech' mantra, I'd still like to hear how Janet's breast constitutes free speech in any way, shape, or form.
