A line has to be drawn somewhere. sixate you may be right that this is being overblown. However, if this is allowed, then what isn't? This clearly exceeds the tolerances that have been established for broadcast TV. How this is handled will determine if those tolerances remain or become more liberal. Its looking like the later is not going to happen. Some smart ass though it would be alright to push the boundries. Suprise, its not.
Its an interesting process to watch. We are seeing society react to this and that reaction is going to have some effect on the media. This is a very interesting process. Most of the time these changes happen incrementally over time. Time is being compressed here and we can watch (whether we agree, or not) the process, first hand.
