Imagine if the average american newspaper had a topless woman on
page 3.
It sure would make a lot more young men willing to risk their lives for
their country! :)
<yakov>Boobies with my headlines? WHAT A COUNTRY!</yakov>
Try again. They'd be shut down. You only get free speech here in
carefully
selected topics.
I dunno.
I imagine that if a newspaper backed by, say, Rupert Murdoch money was
willing to put up with the inevitable Moral Majority boycotts and tough
out the long appeals process, they'd find that Page 3 girls would be
protected under the 1st Amendment.
After all, if stripping can be considered protected speech, surely a
topless editorial page would be.
Sure, but would it be worth it ?
The English would be all up in arms if they're page 3 girls were taken
away from them. And yet the MM would be screaming that the Devil is
running the country if they appeared on page 3 of their papers. It's
just a cultural thing. Over the weekend I saw a Monty Python sketch with
Carol Cleveland naked from the waist up, and that was 1970's broadcast
TV in England. The US is all in a kerfuffle over Janet Jackson's nipple
appearing for less than 1 second !?!?!?!?! I just don't get it, for the
land of the "free"....bemuses me, and I'm on the outside looking in !
(sort of)
