Is it not odd that you can rent a movie, and in that movie watch a man rip out another man's throat, but the nipples in that movie will be censored....?
Or you'll watch television and people are shooting each other, but the nudity is censored... I was thinking about it and I find it odd. Our society seems to have a warped sense of what is obscene.
What is worse? Shooting a man in the face, or being naked? Which of those things do you do more often, shoot men or be naked? I bet the answer is being naked (if it isn't, I worry about you...).
What has the most serious consequences, shooting a man in the face, or sex? I think shooting a man in the face does. Legally, mentally, physically, and all the other words that end with the letters -ally.
Which option is the most natural, pumping some guy's face full of lead, or nipples?!?! I would hope the answer is nipples, because otherwise there is something wrong with me.
Should this not be the other way around? Wouldn't it be better to be ensuring violence is on television later at night and violence in movies earns them a stricter rating, instead of a naked human body?
The whole thing confuses me greatly. I think that a lot of our societies problems stem from this issue. Not the issue of nipples on telly, but the issue of sexual repression. The issue is, in my eyes, that violence is seen to be acceptable, and necessary, while sex and the human body are seen as something to be ashamed of. I think if we could reverse this view, the world would be a much, much, MUCH happier place.
Anywho, fare thee well, I must depart and finish my human awareness essay.

Excellent point.
Woah!! Your comment wasn't there today... and now it is...
Nice one ASMS!!
on another note, in the assorted porns out there of the japanese manga variety there is tiny censor bars. I don't know why.
It's really quite illogical. Porn is censored sometimes. PORN FOR FSM'S SAKE! It's the greatest contradiction of all time. Kinda.
Yes, the porn thing is illogical. I don't understand censoring porn. I mean really, you can see the people there engaging in intercourse, it makes no difference if you can't see a small portion of the picture, you still get the idea.
