Why is it that things like clevage are allowed and not censored, but it's only the nipples that are censored?

F the FCC

Almost all of the complaints to the FCC are called in by one religious organization..

There is nothing wrong with nipples.

nobody wants to see that

Last I'd checked, there was a pretty sizeable female population in this country. :p

Why not? I think nudity is far less offensive than violence.

Men are like dogs. If a dog sees food he starts salivating, running around like crazy and just genrally wigging out. Men see nipples and the same effect takes place. Now, it has been said throughout history that men control the world... which is bullsh!t. Women have half the money and all the poon. You tell me who controls what. One day a TV exec comes home and sits down to watch the tube with his wife. Suddenly a nip slip takes place and the guys starts acting like the dog above. Wife gets mad and says something to the effect that if he doesn't get that crap taken off the air she will take her half of the money and the poon with her. The next day the FCC was born.

Just what is it about the nipple that is so offensive?

And why is a male nipple considered less offensive than a female nipple? (That is the social standard, but what is the logical basis for it, if any?)

Just treat the censored area as nipple because it looks like a big dot anyway.

Thats basically it. We are allowing religous zealots to give our country identity. Amusing since people colonized America seeking freedom from religous persecution.
A buddy told me today that Protestants in America now are almost as bad as Catholics in the middle-ages.

But thats another thread.

I take comfort in the fact that TV has sucked so bad, I havent actually watched it a year.
Theres other things to do in life.

For women w/ rather nasty quarter pounder size areolas and 2 inch nipples, I rather they keep everything in the bra. I'm fine w/ just the deep cleavage.

yeah, and those don't have to be censored, nor is it inappropriate for men to walk topless :confused:

But your not allowed to tease them while talking with your boss about getting raise.
