11/24/2004: Billboard coverup

"Lucky she wasn't showing any ankle or they really would have let her have it."

"Retards."

Come now. Different cultures have different standards, for any number of cultural, religious and social reasons.

Over here in the UK we were laughing our arses off at the (to us) ludicrous furore that erupted over Janet Jackson's infamous 'nipple slip' at the Superbowl – "Quick Marjorie! Cover the children's eyes before they're corrupted forever and damned to an eternity in the fiery pit!"

By the same token, billboards and TV ads for shower/bath products across Europe regularly show women's breasts and nobody blinks – it's normal.

The quoted kneejerk reactions above are ill-thought-out and emit a slightly unpleasant whiff of xenophobia. Don't sneer at what you don't understand.
