Default Oh how sad!

Someone once said that the US and the UK were two countries separated by a common language, but all this Jackson "outrage" only serves to suggest that the separation is caused by a huge cultural gap. In the UK this week a few column inches were spent on bad boy, ex-Sex Pistol, John Lydon who used the c**t word, once seen as the last unspeakable word on British TV, on a prime time big-rating TV show. Huge outrage: all of 88 people complained, and the news reports were of the effect that this was no big news story. In the States, there are howls of outrage when the US audience is shown what we see on British TV after the 9 pm watershed on a regular basis. And now I hear that ER's latest episode has been self-censored. Relax everybody, we all have bodies. From the gap, not of culture but of physical distance, I would suggest that a country that arguably has the biggest porn industry in the world, and some of the highest gun-crime figures that there are nore important things to worry about than a publicity-stunt-inspired breast, which wasn't too impressive anyway.
