Grammys sullied by prudish morals.

Post by Animavore » Fri Feb 08, 2013 2:58 pm

The advisory, sent to the production staff that deals with talent, advises them to "be sure that buttocks and female breasts are adequately covered." Specifically, "thong-type costumes" and "bare sides or under curvature of the breasts" are deemed "problematic." Visible buttock curves or "buttock crack" are also a no-no, as is "sheer see-through clothing that could possibly expose female breast nipples."

Also prohibited: obscenity printed on wardrobes. And, somewhat vaguely, the network requested that lapel pins or accessories that promote a cause "be avoided."

We'll see if the advisory affects the fashion parade — or the controversies that invariably ensue.

Note the last line I underlined. These "wardrobe malfunctions" aren't even "controversies" except in the minds of people determined to make them into a controversy. Usually those led to believe in a bodily shame and jealous-ass types.

What rock did the morality police crawl out from under? :what:
God has no place within these walls, just like facts have no place within organized religion. - Superintendent Chalmers

It's not up to us to choose which laws we want to obey. If it were, I'd kill everyone who looked at me cock-eyed! - Rex Banner

The lawyers are not concerned about morals just extracting revenue from the situation.

What's the reason for america's prudishness. It's pretty out of hand. No issue with violence at all but afraid to show a butt crack? Fucked.
Our struggle is not against actual corrupt individuals, but against those in power in general, against their authority, against the global order and the ideological mystification which sustains it.

Yeah, I don't know. We're not all like that, but it seems the ones who are get to be in charge.

Meanwhile in Brazil -

How is a practically third world country like Brazil more sexually mature than a shining beacon of enlightenment like America?

You are in a training prog 'Merica. Clothes are like the space suits you'll need on those cities in space. This 'prudishness' is just to make sure you are wearing something in the vacuum of space. The question is what or who is doing the training? Certainly not the religious even though they are a useful cultural-social tool for the entrainment purpose. :coffee:

I suppose, it is a christian nation, loving violence hating sex. The christian way...unless it's sex with young boys anyway.
