As for whether what Prince did should be considered appropriate for TV, or should require some sort of "Turn your children away" disclaimer...I don't know. It's a never-ending debate with no clear dividing line. My view of it oscillates constantly.
But what I do know is that I find it ridiculous that, while the Prince "thing" is getting covered, it's NOT generating the outrage that the boob did, and that belies to me a seriously screwed up double standard. What a wonderful message. Simply seeing a part of the human female anatomy for a second, with nothing else to intimate a sexual context is the height of debauchery and lead to one of the largest fines the FCC has ever levied, but a 60 foot silhouetted simulation of male masturbation is just kinda debatable.
Like I said, I don't claim to have an answer as to whether it should be controlled, regulated, disclaimered, censored, etc. But damnit I wish people would get their priorities straight and stop this nonsense of declaring the human body (and more specifically the female body) as de facto pervesrion.
