Makes sense to me, as a member and onlooker of society's standard for parents.

Youtube is the #2 or 3 most-visited site by adolescents, aged 7 to 14.

If you are a parent, uncle or mentor to a young child, you don't want them to be bombarded by spectacles of tits, ass, or male "packages" and the way time grinds to a halt in N.America if they are displayed in a public venue. Everyone looks, and is aghast, because it's just not the foundation of what this nation was built on (old puritanical habits die hard, like the weekends).

Sure, parents should monitor what their kids are seeing, learning, and browsing on the web, but no one adult is omnipresent. Stuff slips through our filter, and it just becomes comforting to list "safe sites" like YouTube because of their hard stance on any sort of nudity whatsoever. (but they allow the most wretched, profane-filled speeches by any 15-year-old with a camera, so, it's a mixed bag.)

This culture just has this desensitization towards violence, guns, and profanity (as evidence by the TV-Y7 "too violent" cartoon programs that have been around for 20 odd years, and by the time a kid enters 4th grade, they are ridiculed if they have little inkling of what the word "fuck" means), yet we have this perverse pleasure in seeing any situation become one in which a scenario plays out plausibly, even randomly, where a young woman intimates at taking off her top, if not more.

It's our on litle quirk. At least we're not as bad as Japan.
