I think that Atrios has a point: why are we so incredibly tolerant of things in our popular culture like bullets shredding bodies, limbs being severed, and massive explosions killing hundreds -- and yet so incredibly scandalized by a wide-angled shot, lasting for mere seconds, of a female breast whose nipple isn't even exposed?
On CBS Sunday night, Janet Jackson's breast was exposed for seconds, and this is consuming our national discourse.
On FOX Sunday night, Independence Day was shown, a movie in which about nine total tears are shed for the loss of about half the entire planet's population.
Something seems out-of-whack to me.
