Quotes: On TV Nudity

So true. I do spend a lot of time in Europe and especially Britain.

Sexual content in show and adverts is such an unremarkable feature, it would never even be mentioned.

Just last night I was streaming an ITV show and one of the adverts for Nivea had a woman walking around naked from the back showing her fab skin I guess as a result of using Nivea.

I doubt anybody even noticed when viewing it in prime time there.

And while we're at it I dislike PBS buying authentic BBC and ITV shows then pixelating them like crazy all throughout in case, just in case, we might get a glimpse of breast.

I also have noticed that a lot of British shows now are made with PBS money and written and filmed with an international audience in mind now that entertainment is international and no longer local to a country.

This has cut down a lot on nudity. I've noticed that a lot in UK shows that used to regularly show nudity show up a month later on PBS or BBC America, with a lot less nudity.

The uptight, prudish US tail has begun to wag at the more authentic to life international shows.

I do wonder how many shows are cut at the production level in Britain because they won't be able to cater to the uptight US market they are aiming at.

US viewers are a wide range of uptight and uncomfortable assholes like they are still fourteen year old and are on the school playground.

One look at the, insert a popular forum, will bear out that theory.

There is not much middle ground, no seeing nudity as normal, healthy and unremarkable. A country with puritanical background is polarized to these two extremes, if reading boards are any indication.

With these standards, a lot of the great shows would never have been made if they had an international audience as its money making target.
