Why are TV shows like "Fear Factor" O.K...

[Placebo]

but ANY nudity, or nudity from behind, is the subject of national scandal? :shrug:

People eating cow eyes, being dumped into a vat of roaches, and throwing themselves off a speeding boat alllllllll for money = good.

Skin = evil.

[RoeBear]

1. What is...

...implied nudity?

[TaleWgnDg]

2. yah. discerning minds wanna know . . .

[Placebo]

3. Don't question me!

:crazy:

[No Mandate Here.]

4. Especially when the contestants are often nearly naked, anyway?

Part of the appeal to the guys in the audience must be waiting to catch a glance when the suit falls off? Sort of like beach volleyball. Did you see the thong- like uniforms in the Olympics?

[TaleWgnDg]

5. geez. do you mean that the lowest possible denominator is

voyeurism? or maybe self-indulgence? OMG.

[Deja Q]

6. Not forgetting last year's big ratings grab of having people eat...

reindeer testicles covered in ants... :puke:

Barbarism.

[Spinzonner]

8. Were the reindeer still attached ?

Otherwise it was just gross, not barbaric

7. I Wouldn't Say Those Shows Are Okay

and just don't watch them.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

9. Those shows are disgusting.

I don't get peoples fears of other naked bodies. We all have one. Big deal, I saw a naked bum. The odds are, if it's on TV it was one fine looking bum and I don't mind seeing it.

10. Jack Nicholson said it best

Show a man tenderly kissing a womans breast and it's a "R" rating.
Show a man hacking off a womans breast with a machete and you get a "PG".

We are a sick, sick country and I fear for us all.
