How long before network TV has Full Frontal Nudity?

There's zero chance that there'll be full frontal nudity on the US broadcast networks by 2012, or at any point even remotely soon after that. There won't even be fully topless nipples on display female nudity by then, let alone full frontal nudity.
 
We all know Violence on network tv has increased, so I'm just wondering how long it will be before the networks (abc,cbs,nbc,fox,) in a desperate attempt to garner higher ratings, will show FULL frontel nudity?:alienblush: I say they will do it by or after 2012. What say you?:cool:

Australia had it in the '70's in a late night soap opera called "Number 96".

sure it wasn't called ''Number 69'';)
 
In stuck-up-puritan-American-TV? Looooooooooooooooooooooong time left for that mate. Here in Sweden? Thirty years ago.
 
When a channel can get fined half a million or whatever by a government-backed ludicrously Victorian and puritanical regulator for a fraction of a second's glimpse of a nipple covered by a pasty?

Fucking never, at least until someone drags the US media's morals kicking and screaming out of the 19th Century and at least into the 20th, if it can't manage the 21st
 
Schindler's List was shown on network TV without editing out the nudity.
you would have to have a twisted mind, to find that movie a turn on.
Whoever said he was turned on? He just mentioned it had nudity.


But yeah, UK television has done full frontal numerous times over the years, often with no overtly sexual overtones (sometimes it's as sexually charged as Penelope Keith eating a garibaldi biscuit) and done in as best taste as is possible.

Cupid Stunt did full frontal?
 
nudity on TV is frowned on due to how sexual nudity can be, nudity in Schindler's List is very different to how the networks would use nudity if they were allowed.

The rules on nudity and sex here are a bit stupid... I mean did you hear about ofcom fining one of the porn channels for showing a URL to a website that had porn on it? :lol:

Yeah, somehow guy's asses gets more of a pass than anything else nudity wise in the US. I know there's been a few (but not many) instances of that at least in passing.

We (the US) are really puritanical about that for some reason, even most non-premium cable channels don't show anything, and even then there's a focus on the dorsal area but I think low ratings and competition just might be enough to bring this about. I don't know about "full frontal nudity" but I think we *might* see some progression soon.

Funny you should mention that. I watched an episode of Law and Order:SUV earlier this week on USA. It was the one with Mark-Paul Gosselear in it. I think both him and his wife did porn to support their family. Anyway, there's scene in it that takes place "on set" and in the background you can very clearly see that two of the male models are totally naked, and, yeah, you can see the full monty. The NBC version had that bit cut out. The USA version did not. So, yeah, we do get the full monty on cable after 10pm here, but it's just not lingering shots of it.
