Only in one country. The rest of the world was left scratching its heads and wondering what all the fuss was about. US news programs even carried th images with the breast pixellated out, while non-US news programs showed the incident uncensored. Please do not assume that the standards of one country are universal.>
Yeah - pity about you ignoring the entire Islamic world, and much of the rest of the world too that would have standards clashing with such an occurance.
I think this makes my point with even more power. As I've pointed out recently, if we're going to adopt the standard that we should take notice of whether blocks or readers get a bee in their bonnet about this or that visual, we're going to have to take account of a lot more than the extreme right of the USA. I suggest that a two-finger response is the only sane response in this situation.
