Yeah I agree, but as said, its because it wasn't expected. You watch ER, you expect blood and shit. You watch sopranos, you expect violence and swearing. You watch football, you expect football and a bunch of shitty singers dancing around grabbing their crotches, but no boobs.

I agree that it itsn't a big deal.

If you were to have to choose what to show your kid, would you rather have him see a breast, or someone getting shot in the head or listening to some profanity.

Personally I don't see a real problem with it, I think the more pressing issue for families is violence and swearing. But no one says anything about that.

But yeah, Canadian censoring is pretty cool. After 10pm "fuck" is allowed on cable channels. I believe "shit" is allowed at any time. And I was watching CBC news and they showed janets breasts in slow motion without blurring the screen or anything. Kind of ironic that everyones getting pissed off about it and then the CBC shows it intentionally.
