Where is the cutoff point for Public television?
Ok so I was just watching television with my parents on cable channel 7 (so this is public television) and a show about like pregnancy came on and I was like ok whatever. Anyways throughout the show they show a half naked (waist up) pregnant women then showed a live birth. Ok some of u won't care but my question is why did they get *DELETED* when Janet showed her boob for like a half second but then on public television they can show a live birth?

watch the language

Why don't they show porn on tv or in Sex Ed. classes...it's simply showing procreation.

When you get tired of it and change the channel.

The term is redeeming social value.

You expect to see ***** on pbs in a show about procreation. Notot in the superbowl which is family sports entertainment.

Kind of like National Geographic vs Time magazine.

I don't understand the objection...what's the cutoff point? Of what? How much you can show/not show?

Do you really want somebody else to decide for you?

Like Atomic Rooster said, "when you change the channel".

I do not have a problem when showing ***** and their reason for existing. I do not wish my kids to see them groped or used as sex objects.

That is the major difference for me.

The difference breast feeding is to sexual content as national geographic showing horses mating is to beastiality.
