I find it interesting
how attitudes on this sort of thing vary. It's generally accepted in Britain (and indeed accepted in law in Scotland) that breastfeeding in public is OK. Tits on the telly are no big deal, at least after 9pm.
But the Americans have a different perspective. They are quite happy to make and show films with gratuitous violence, many people own a gun and keep it in their own home, and yet when Janet Jackson flashed a nipple during the Superbowl, the nation* went crazy.
*OK, the media and the political bandwagonners at least.
Calm down, America. It's only a tit. We've all got them (some nicer than others, admittedly). It won't kill, injure or otherwise physically damage you.
If this had happened in Germany, for example, it probably would have passed almost without comment.
