It's Complicated

Yeah. We can show violence of almost every kind on t.v. here in the U.S., but "nekkid wimmin" has been more difficult for the censors to accept. Then again, given the kinds of real-life violence happening here, I really really wish that the situation was reversed. Wouldn't it be nice if there were more news stories about people being arrested for having sex in public than for trying to shoot each other?

@AmericanPerrin It sounds like France is the place for you

@AmericanPerrin That's because movies are rated by the MPAA, a group of anonymous people who decide whether or not something in a movie is objectionable. The problem is that they don't publicize their standards, so they can just rate things based on whims.

But this is actually an improvement, as in the past movies were run by The Hays Code. THAT system was notoriously racist (interacial marriages and white slavery were banned in films, but black slavery was allowed).

@AmericanPerrin Maybe you should decrese overall crime rates in USA

I'd like a teddy eagle.

US media in a nutshell.

Canada's a good friend

@TheyCallMeMo indeed he is.

Shouldn't Canada be saying "aboot"? xD

@Aquilinus
Hey! My mom's Canadian! We say a-boat, not aboot!




(Sorry)

@Aquilinus

That accent is only common in a relatively small region around the East Coast.
That would be like us calling the New York (Italian-ish) accent was THE American accent, and insisting all people in the USA, from coast to coast should be talking that way.

The reason you think of that "aboot" bit as the "Canadian" accent is a famous little comedy program called "The Great White North".

Two Canadian comedians making mocking parody of east-coast Canadian stereotypes... but to the US audience who didn't grasp the cultural context, those two clowns became "All Canadians" to them. >_>

American men are goofy as hell about a lot of things, sex is just one of them.

This sums things up pretty well actually

Sister Sweden just walked up to him

JUST LIKE THAT

Teddy eagles for the win!

Teddy Eagle... I swear, if that doesn't become the name of some super American action star...

@Lord_Skata I'd love to see this happen. Just imagine, "The name's Eagle, Teddy Eagle." The new James Bond.
