Not sure if I agree. Haven't re-read it this morning, but thought it was more Puritanical than politically correct. Pixellating a bare bum

"Just last week the PTC urged supporters to mount an email campaign against CBS for re-broadcasting an episode of missing person drama Without a Trace which attracted around 7,500 complaints when it was first shown because it featured scenes of a "teenage orgy".


lol...that was a good episode!

The Americans have always been a bit prudish. They practically invented the L-shaped sheet for in bed film scenes.

I wonder if they'll censor Homer's *** where he ends up in a river and emerges naked?

I really don’t see why this “story” is news worthy – even for the leftist toilet paper that the guardian is

If networks want to cut programs to suit audience opinion or standards then so what

What does showing a naked woman while being disinfected add to the dirty bomb program – probably not much apart from juvenile titillation

And who wants to see Mickey Rooney’s **** anyway (apart from my nan )???????!!!!!!!!!

There’s a lot wrong with American TV, but it’s (generally) high decency standards are one of the better things
