Ahh, but violence is socially acceptable. Sexuality is not.
Somewhat flip, but mostly true.
There's still an extremely repressed mindset that sexuality, and any blatent evidence of it (i.e., female nipples and men's naked dicks), is going to totally destroy the core of civilization (at least in this country). We have, to a certain extent, become desensitized to violence because there is so much "fantasy violence" (action movies, video games). Perhaps we need more realistic, more accessible games like Larry the Lounge Lizard or whatever it was. Plunk that in the hands of teenagers and let 'em go to town. Then maybe seeing nekkid bodies won't be such a big deal and maybe the cosmetics industry and the plastic surgery industry will get the smack-down the so righteously deserve when people realize that not everyone looks like Barbie or Ken.
Huh. I seem to have lost my point somewhere in there. I'm doing that a lot lately...
