Bah, see, there's just moments when it becomes ridicolous. I had a conversation with my dad about something similar the other day: the violence-sex ratio on television. I mean, people would much rather that their kids see someone shoot a gun, than a bit of naked skin. And while I don't think small children should be exposed to sexual stuff either, whats worse? A natural, human act or violent killing?
