It's Really The American Way....

Woooah. What if I was living under a rock? And I'm sorry that the shows and movies I watch don't have, now, "big swinging dicks". I was just saying my experience with television is different than yours. No need to accuse me of being a hermit. Haha.

Actually, you are incorrect about the FCC regarding regulation of cable broadcasting...

Per https://www.fcc.gov/reports-research/guides/obscenity-indecency-profanity-faq

"What makes material indecent? Indecent material contains sexual or excretory material that does not rise to the level of obscenity. For this reason, the courts have held that indecent material is protected by the First Amendment and cannot be banned entirely. It may, however, be restricted to avoid its broadcast during times of the day when there is a reasonable risk that children may be in the audience. The FCC has determined, with the approval of the courts, that there is a reasonable risk that children will be in the audience from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., local time. Therefore, the FCC prohibits station licensees from broadcasting indecent material during that period.

Material is indecent if, in context, it depicts or describes sexual or excretory organs or activities in terms patently offensive as measured by contemporary community standards for the broadcast medium. In each case, the FCC must determine whether the material describes or depicts sexual or excretory organs or activities and, if so, whether the material is patently offensive.

In our assessment of whether material is patently offensive, context is critical. The FCC looks at three primary factors when analyzing broadcast material: (1) whether the description or depiction is explicit or graphic; (2) whether the material dwells on or repeats at length descriptions or depictions of sexual or excretory organs; and (3) whether the material appears to pander or is used to titillate or shock. No single factor is determinative. The FCC weighs and balances these factors because each case presents its own mix of these, and possibly other, factors."

Also, in your post further down the chain, all but one of the shows you cite are on premium pay sites like HBO and Showtime, not cable. Hence the ability to have adult, graphic storylines (and the reason the one on cable - American Horror Story, is on at 10pm, per FCC regulations). =)

You guys aren't even speaking in full sentences, so I'm having a hard time taking your points seriously.

And to say that film and art are different and "shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath" is the most ignorant statement in this entire argument. Clearly you have not seen enough good films. Not all films are "made to be sold." Do you know how much work it takes to make a movie? How much artistry? The director of photography, the set designer, the costume designer, the acting... all of those roles are mediums of ART. Do you really think the only forms of art are ones involving paint or clay? I'm relatively sure the dictionary would disagree with you. Take a moment to educate yourself on the literal meaning of the word "art" and then get back to me.

Times change. We're not as sophisticated today as we were back then. There's a big difference.

LOL. Clearly.
