- I'll second this idea. What T.V. executives are willing to show is based
- on what they think the market will handle. You can be assured that when
- they show the slightest hint of nudity they will get complaints from the
- offended few. They need to also get congratulations from the rest of us
- so as to offset the complaints. Furthermore, I think we should complain
- when nudity is a natural part of a broadcast but they hide it with those
- computerized fuzzy squares or they cut it from a film. Remember, they are
- just guessing as to what people want, it is our letters and phone calls that
- let them know whether they guessed right or wrong.
