How come national geographic can show naked africans all day....... Support Apolyton

On PBS and similar non cable TV channels(every country has something like PBS......it is funded by public money/donations, you dont need cable to see it, its free) they can show naked african women ALL day which is against the cencorship rules for public broadcasting as well as naked children-which is a felony(child pornography)...........why is this legal?


More importantly when is National Geographic going to do a documentary on the mating habits of LA's sexiest woman?

Because it's *cough* Educational *cough*.

It's also the same reason that they've showed tits on MTV. Didn't you see the breast implant documentary?

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

There is a difference between showing naked people (something purely natural everyone is confronted to daily, at least with one's own nudity) and showing porn, which needs some construction of the libido to be apprehended.
Showing naked children has nothing to do with child porn. Especially in National Geographic : I doubt they film naked children just for the heck of it, but rather to show their way of life. Am I wrong ?

It's Western cultural racism. They think Africans are animals so they show them in their native state.

Porn shows naked people "exercizing" (is there any uncensored word more close to the act here ?) for the sake of it. And animal documentaries do so to some extent too
But National Geographic documentaries show villages, ways of lifes and cultures, which happen to be populated by naked people. The closest comparison would be with a documentary about the life in a nudist camp. Would you only show dressed people in such a documentary ?

I haven't read the rest of the replies here, but "intent" is likely the difference - the intent of the shows is an examination of different cultures, not pornography.

To use an analogy: A set of new parents who snap a couple of pictures of their newborn taking their first bath and showing them to family members is not guilty of kiddie porn, though all the elements of k-p are there. OTOH, if somebody uploads the pictures onto the internet with the purpose of selling them, THEN you have a case of kiddie porn.

"Having sex" is different with "being naked". I fail to understand why so many people confuse both.

Well, in one of my country's public channels, there is a late night documentary about the sex industry. They are interviewing businessmen, pornstars, directors, sex shop owners, etc and they are showing some material in the process. Of course the documentary is X-rated, but it was filmed with purely educational purposes. IIRC, the creators were British.

If you get turned on by naked people on PBS documentary you have problems.

If you get turned on by naked statues from the renaissance era, then you also have problems.

TLC once had this documentary about sex. This is just a regular cable station that normally would never show nudity. But it did show a white women's breasts, and the inside of her vagina . How's that for regular tv?

I think this particular program came from a BBC broadcast. because everyone was British in it .

Don't knock it til you've tried it.

PBS is always sneaking sexy stuff in under the cover of "education" or "art".

A few years ago, they showed the "Moll Flanders" movie with Alex Kingston (who was on E.R.) and that was full of sex and nudity. But it was high-brow*, so it got by.


* By American standards, anyway.

Don't you have nudity in American TVs ? Heck, in France, even the public cultural TV aired "In the Realm of the Senses" once (first Japanese porn movie )
And we get nude actresses in about every French movie nowadays

I don't know if it matters, but I like watching naked women in their natural environment while I learn about their culture as much as I like watching them on the soft porn cable networks.

The same way British and Aussie t.v. can go to Florida and California and show people in their natural state- lipo-suctioned, skin pulled so tight their navel is their nose, wearing polyester stretch pants and clothing that would make golfing professionals vomit.

I'd rather be naked with my dugs on my knees than look like the Bride of Wildenstein:
