One thing that I do agree with European's on is Boobies on TV. I don't understand why in a civilized country a murder, rape and others are allowed and not even a glimpse of a birthday suit. If I were head of the FCC you would see much less violence and tons of boobs.

TV violence more offensive than sex - US poll

July 26 2003 at 10:03AM



Los Angeles - More television viewers are offended by violence than by nudity or sexually charged language, a study commissioned by TV Guide magazine has found.

The survey of 1 015 adults nationwide, details of which were released Friday, also found that 71 percent have changed channels to avoid seeing material they consider offensive, though 91 percent indicated they have never actually called a network to complain about such content.

About 17 percent of those polled said "graphic violence and gore" were the most offensive things on TV, compared to nine percent for "bodily functions", eight percent for "foul language" and six percent for "nudity or sexual innuendo".

A report on the study will appear in next week's issue of the magazine, which also noted that NBC did not receive a single complaint last year when U2 lead singer Bono swore on the air during the live broadcast of the Golden Globes award show.
