Master Shake told me to go in the freezer because there was a carnival in there. There was no carnival, it was a damn freezer! I got freezer burn, and I got mushed up against that chicken.

Dirty Greek - Europe laughs as we worry over a boob flash
  Culture Critique : Europe laughs as we worry over a boob flash

Over at Common Dreams, there's an article about the European media's hilarious laughter over our obsession with breats on TV. The article basically points out something I've said several times since the Jackson incident:
There's no comprehending the uptight Yanks. They keep all their raunchy shows on cable. The broadcast networks still have to meet ultra-strict decency rules. In most of Western Europe, bare breasts can be seen on TV in the middle of the day, on commercials for razors or moisturizing cream. Movies with topless scenes are routine on evening television. And Italy even has a game show on which contestants strip down to their underpants. But in America, a two-second boob flash is grounds for a national meltdown.
And that's completely true, too. In Holland, I watched *cough* I mean, clicked through soft-core porn on regular cable in the middle of the afternoon. In Holland and in Germany, at night, I saw way-less-than-soft-core porn on regular cable.

By the way, did anyone see this week's episode of South Park? The boys imagined they were Samurai warriors, and Butters ended up with a throwing star in his eye. The parents are outraged as Butters shows up on stage in front of the town, and the boys think they're in trouble for it. However, at the town meeting while the adults are freaking out, they realize the town isn't angry that Butters was hit in the eye by a throwing star; they're angry that Cartman's penis was exposed on the stage right beforehand.
