Satire is funny because it makes an observation (e.g how uptight conservative America is about nudity) and then exaggerates it to absolutely absurd levels (e.g. covering up David with a pair of Jeans in the simpsons).
What good is satire, if it cannot keep up with the absolutel absurdity of the REAL world.
When I was a kid, I was brought by my parents (often grudgingly on my part!) to countless art galleries. I saw more nudity that I could ever remember. But to me, this was absolutely normal. In fact, I didn't even SEE the connection between nudity in art, and sex.
Strangely enough I didn't grow up to be some perverted deviant rapist! Imagine that! I turned out completely normal, dispite having my innocent mind warped from a very young age by such obscene images!
