FWIW, our church leaders advised us that children under 14 should not
attend.

....which is amply demonstrated by the fact that some of those
most appalled by the Janet Jackson fiasco are eagerly bringing their
elementary school children to see Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ"
(which some critics have characterized as a two hour slow motion snuff
film).
As the saying goes, there's no accounting for
some people's taste.

Keep in mind that "nipplegate" was really a microcosm of, and a lightning
rod for, a broader hullabaloo over obscenity and indecency. By the
standards of some, lasciviousness is objectionable for different reasons than
gore.
Some folks find one more objectionable than the other.

CBS TV is being rightly crucified in the UK by
no less a person than Tony Blair for showing pictures of Princess Diana
dying after the car crash in Paris in 1997. The people who watch
American TV are clearly operating double standards here. Firstly, they
round on CBS for daring to show Janet Jackson's breasts, an incident so
trivial it hardly deserves comment. Yet a couple of months later they
sit in front of their TV screens watching many of the same CBS stations
showing the sickening pictures of Princess Diana. I hope and trust
that those of you in the USA reading this message did not stoop so low as to
watch your local CBS affiliates last night.
Certainly if I was a watcher of CBS TV in the
States I would be writing to my local affiliate leaving them in no doubt
that they should not have shown such pictures, which surely go beyond the
pale!
Now, back to the short-wave
wireless.
