We all have bodies. Only a certain variety of constipated moralist wants to deny that fact.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of those in the US.

However when TCM and FMC run movies with flashes of nudity and f-bombs left in, I feel like I'm being treated like a grown up instead of being infantilized by the type of religious nut who wants to make believe sin doesn't exist in life or in art.

It's called the remote, folks. If you are offended by anything on your TV set, change the fucking channel.
