for life music entertainment: misterpants!: blurred buttcracks -or- America is awesome
TV news shows grisly awful pictures of people being tortured. And when they show these pictures, they blur the buttcracks of the torture victims.

BECAUSE BUTTCRACKS ARE SO GROSS!!! OH MY GOD!

So yeah, show the guy about to be attacked by dogs, show the creepy image of the hooded man with electrical wires clamped to him, show the terrified humiliated naked men piled atop one another--but for God's sake when you do show those things, do not show their bottoms. Or their genitals! That would be an outrage.

Remember how upsetting it was for everyone to see Janet Jackson's nipple covered with electrical tape for a fraction of a second? Or when Bono said the f-word? The FCC had to tighten the rules against dirty words. And boobs.

And that really helped a lot, made America way better. Safer.

Because, unlike pictures of hateful, evil, creepy sexual prison torture--seeing a boob will totally scar a kid for life.

So I just wanted to thank America for being so awesome about its weird puritanical fear of parts of naked bodies while broadcasting images of torture everywhere.
