You have to understand. This culture frowns upon that. That is just the way it is. Just as you may see it as a perfectly natural thing, you don't have the right to subject others to your personal moral standards who are offended by such.

Well, this is fair enough. I understand that Americans are very prudish. But, I suppose where we differ is, I don't view television as a right. If you think television is bad- get rid of it. I did- a long time ago. I don't view it as a natural right to watch the Super Bowl (to start with). There's a lot of aesthetic arguments that devolve from there. The whole cheerleader thing for example. It's gratuitous sexuality. And if this is bad- ok. But the status quo seems to be that gratuitous violence is ok and the gratuitous flesh is not. This just seems preposterous to me.

Talking about culture.
It's OK to show the most bloody scary and violent murder movies, it's OK to cover just the nipples, because just the nipples are considered porn, not the breast itself.
I'm living in the States since 8 years and still don't get it!
