If you are upset by nudity and sexuality on TV, ie the MNF opening scene,
don't move to Europe. They show nudity and sexuality quite liberally on their TV over there.

When I was in Paris in 1998 I saw phone sex numbers on city billboards and photo spreads of topless women in convenience store windows. They show nudity in commercials and TV shows in the middle of the day in England.

I guess we shall see if europe becomes a sexually perverse super state in the future.

2. the solution
send the fundies to europe and force them to watch German, French and English TV for 48 hours straight. Then, once they get home they'll be thankful for scenes like the one on MNF.

5. This is just a smokescreen issue
Get the masses riled about this while privatization and "ownership society" plans are being solidified.

10. Falluja war crimes diversion
This "moral outrage" was a coordinated attempt to divert attention from the Falluja war crimes. Of course it was a complete success with the spineless media.
