Nearly two full weeks have passed since Justin Timberlake “accidentally” ripped off part of Janet Jackson’s top and exposed her right breast during the Super Bowl halftime show. Despite the hysterical media coverage that ensued, the event itself was not much of a spectacle—among other things, the considerable distance between TV camera and breast prevented even the most attentive of viewers from glimpsing anything much of interest. For a stunt that supposedly degraded a nation and marked the first step in the collapse of western civilization, there really wasn?...
...indecent” or “obscene” material from finding its way into living rooms nationwide. In the wake of the silly Super Bowl controversy, NBC deleted a brief scene from the Feb. 5 episode of “ER,” which revealed the breast of an elderly woman.

This prudishness seems quintessentially American; Europeans, who have long been more comfortable with the human form than we, are generally amused by the Puritan standards of American entertainment when it comes to nudity. The French, for example, have no trouble with the appearance of topless women, shown routinely in newspapers and advertisements...
