Why is violence O.K. for children to be exposed to and sex is not O.K.?
What kind of values are reflected here?
What does this say about our values as a culture?
Yes: We use sex to sell everything, but then turn around and act offended by Janet Jackson's nipple.
That, in turn, sparked a controversy which proceeded to then totally ignore the bigger questions.
Are we ashamed of our bodies? Human bodies? Why?
Have we decided that naked human bodies are ugly? Who taught us this idea?
I think we've hyper-sexualized our own bodies and projected this pathological drama onto the bodies of everyone else.
When we use sex to sell tabloids, and clutch steadfastly to the belief that humans should only be without clothing when it is a sexual situation, I think we're doing ourselves a great disservice.
Is it unnatural to wear clothes? We certainly weren't born with anything on.
What's the difference between witnessing one person killing another and seeing two people engaged in the act of making love?
Let's get our shit together, folks.

being a weak strain of primate (physically), if we did not wear clothing we would die of exposure (unless in a tropical region) before the age of 40.
the difference is what is wrought. opposites can be subverted cognitively but it doesn't change how one situation FEELS versus the other.
