Never heard of it on USA TV. It's funny but lately I've seen prime-time shows that had the couple in bed having either pre or post sex talks about the act. And I thought 'Was it necessary?' I'm all for nudity, well female nudity, but I really think that network shows are trying to push the line, all the time. Are we really gaining anything? (I know all about the arguement over having open dialogs with kids will promote beter choices, ect, but I don't think 15 year olds are watching, or caring about the shows I was watching. Then again if Buffy was promoting the idea of safe-sex by being nakkid.....) Can I ask about other countries song-radio c*nsorship? It REALLY pisses me off when a song has a bleep or scramble in it. Who decides these things? I am mostly mad because they sensor words like GOD, DRUGS, GUNS, WHORE....words that aren't really bad in and of themselves. (Well maybe the last one). I can think of two older songs with F*** in them, the WHO song and, um...well I know there is another one. The band that sings 'Jeremy'.....damn memory. Anyway they don't bleep those because the word is seamless in the song. Just wondering. Kevin T.
