Why are some people in the US like this?
Edited on Sat Jul-10-04 12:57 AM by No2W2004
(My response to a prior thread that was locked before I could finish)

OK, it's a FUCKING NIPPLE! Big deal!!! This is the one thing I HATE about living in the US. This has to be the only society that thinks the female nipple is "shocking" and must not ever be seen. So what? so now Britney can just go ahead and take the millions Hef is probably offering and then completely disappear of the public radar? Britney has pretty much displayed everything that there is, including the enhanced parts, the tattooed parts, the surgically re-configured parts, the pierced parts, and her toes. So now, a nipple pops out and everyone's gonna start going nuts. As for Ms. Spears, this is just what her publicity machine wants. She spends a good deal of her time making an object of herself to be every man's "fantasy". So when men drool over her, she's just doing her job.

My fantasy woman is a liberal who can recite Monty Python and likes to help me in the kitchen. Also, someplace nice to rest my head while we talk of our shared hatred of Shrub.... :D :P :P

1. Many Americans have sexual issues
That's the bottom line.

7. I guess there is a continuum....
On one end you have a society like Iran.. where women cover themselves from heat to toe... then on the other side you have like... those tribal countries where they walk around naked in the jungle....

Somewhere in the middle fall most other cultures, some countries in Europe or like Brazil, where nude sunbathing or topless sunbathing is the norm... alot of other places it's not.

We fall in what I would call at least close to the middle.

Heyo

9. Actually it is pure hypocrisy...
I hate the puritan attitude toward sex that occurs in America. You can show that nipple being chopped off by a machete in the theatres followed by blood spurting out the breast, and no one freaks out. It is acceptable.

I blame the Christian right for this hypocrisy, LOL.

12. Britney may be nice to look at,

But she is plastic. She is a creation of the corporate media. She is everything that is wrong with the "music bussiness". Thus, when I look at Britney, I don't see what is on the surface, I see what is there.

24. One of my favorites,

The story of the space fleet that gets eaten by a small dog due to a miscalculation of relative size still makes me giggle!
