Silly Americans

Only in America would taxpayers' money be spent to investigate the sight of a woman's breast on television. We have politicians glibly denouncing the practice in other countries whereby women are forced to shield their faces with veils and let virtually none of their skin be exposed while in public. Then they turn around and condemn a brief shot of a single breast as an act of sheer moral turpitude. One brief glimpse of a boob and the country goes crazy. No wonder others wanna keep the female body hidden - they know it's potency and fear its effect on us piggish men. Thank the gods that Faux News had a story about how Dubya wasn't able to watch the game. I just wouldn't be able to sleep unil I knew one way or the other. No wonder the rest of the world sees us as a bunch ignoramuses with big guns. Do we let a minority of prudes dictate what's acceptable in our culture? I mean, we sit and bitch about how vulgar pop culture is and have fits at the sight of a woman's nipple (I believe the FCC actually has a rule which states that the whole of a woman's breast is acceptable as long as the nipple is not visible) and then turn around and snub "serious" art. I'd swear I read somewhere that, in at least 1 year last decade, the city of Berlin alone funded the arts more than the United States did. We have a 2 fucking trillion dollar budget! Jesse Helms, that fucking shitbag. What sense does it make to object to pop art, then to a certain serious artist, and attempt to stop spending on the latter? Jesus, I love our leaders. They bitch about us being a bunch of philistines and don't even bother to try to remedy things. To me, it says volumes about the United States that, to punish people, we take away their funding. It's better than killing them, if nothing else, I guess. As Douglas Adams wrote in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy:

"This planet has-or rather had-a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concrened with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy."
