We'd stop cordoning it off behind ropes and glass walls in musty, sterile museums. For some reason, Americans have never differentiated between different kinds of nudity - all nudity is sexual (in mainstream society anyway). This is why there is such a contentious debate about public breastfeeding. I mean really, breastfeeding?! We need to realize that nakedness is healthy, normal, and natural. It is not automatically bad, or shameful, or pornographic, but that is what we're taught. And it's very sad, because there's nothing like sitting around in your living room butt naked, reading a book and enjoying a cup of tea. As far as warning people about nudity in an area - isn't that just continuing to make an issue of it?

(obviously not clothes) or was she just standing around trying to get some shock value and free press? If it had no purpose I don't have a problem with them stopping it because well it had no point and art should probably be in an art window.

A body is a body and we all know what's going on underneath the clothes. Do I think that everyone should walk around naked? No, because it's not practical. But I think a boob here and there on network TV shouldn't be as appalling as people make it out to be. The FCC needs to chill the hell out. I am not a fan of phsyical censorship.
