Isn't nudity supposed to be banned on free-to-air tv?
Just caught some of nip/tuck on tv, the first episode of the new season, was rather interesting to see two actresses who are mother and daughter in real life play mother and daughter on screen, although i am rather intrigued by Vanessa Redgrave's transatlantic accent (she's a fabulous actress nonetheless)
But my point is that they at one point showed a full shot of one of the male actor's nude behind. And it wasn't even a fleeting shot, but at least a second or so, they even showed him wobbling it with his hand (WTMI?)
And this is not the first time they have done so, i recall last season they showed a full rear shot of the other male lead. The show wasn't even considered late night (the butt came on at around 1045pm or so). I find it rather strange that the censors obviously are snipping other inappropriate moments from the show [as can be gathered from the poor editing job - for example one moment the character is standing up and immediately she is seated...] but they totally ignore butt shots. Is it because since they've been showing nude babies' butts for the longest time during diaper commercials they decided not to discriminate against the adults and allow nude rear shots for them as well?
It wasn't too long ago when i was watching "The Deer Hunter" on arts central when, during a scene set at a men's changing room they showed the naked rear ends of quite a few people, but from afar. Then i thought i had caught our normally more-than-vigilant censors napping. Looks like i was wrong...
