I think it’s kind of like how women couldn’t show their ankles at the turn of the century —- something that seems absolutely absurd nowadays.
Soooo, pretty much at any hour of the night you can show a grisly murder — blood, brains, etc. After ten p.m. you can show male buttocks. Occasionally you can even say the “s” word (it barely registered for me when Dr. Green, dying of cancer, yelled, “Shit!” on ER like ten years ago). Cable can pretty much at this point do anything it wants. Starlets are routinely going around without panties - photos readily available on the internet. School shootings rarely make a buzz unless the death toll is in double digits.
But we’re all a-tizzy about someone saying “fuck” around midnight on a Saturday.
Oooookay there, America. Gosh, I just don’t get why the rest of the world hates us.
