I just remember this now. Anyway, i was watching this animal/environment show about outback Australia a week or so ago, and it had stuff about a family touring around the outback and coming across the different animals and environments etc in the outback.
Anyway, it had been going for a bout half an hour and i was enjoying it
when my brother was just curiously watching from afar and made the comment "eeerrrr, you paedophile"... As throughout the show, and at the current point, the kids were naked a lot of the time, especially when they went swimming in the waterholes. I hadn't thought anything of it, unitl he said that?
I was wondering though, how can the sensors of these things can determine what is suitable and unsuitable nudity? I mean just stating a fact that the kids (little boy and girl) were shown completely nude, and you'd never see the adult equilivant of that, at the same time of day, or at all?
For adults, it seems that if there body is not part of a medical scene or some nude art thing, for art purposes, it's often simply regarded as a sexual thing? Even if sex isn't involved? And cut out or not shown until later in the night?
As for them cutting out adults this way, it got me thinking about the second thing. In that, would it be appropriate to show the kids naked during mid-day TV. I mean, if a paedophile was to watch it? isn't that illegal? or even if i watch it? As the "adult films" are on late at night so kids can't watch them, but is it appropriate to show this kind of stuff, if a paedophile is watching?
Their classsification of nakedness and what is sexual, causes sexual thought, or whatever confuses me?
hmm, i guess it sorta is leading into art/natural body and pronography debate, but i don't think i've ever considered the classifications when kids are involved? seems to be a huge grey area, as theres the innocence about them, so they can't be sexualised, but, there are some pretty dodgy people out there....
Your thoughts?
