Heavens to Betsy!

Ok seriously, I was just minding my own business watching TV tonight and what to I see on public television? A vagina. That's right, a vagina. 

Parents reading this to their children you may want to stop now. 

The thing is, I didn't just see A vagina, there were like 3 or 4 shown in a 30 second period. You could imagine my surprise given the fact I was watching a network that we could compare to say, oh, NBC, CBS...dare I say ABC?! Actually now that I think about it this channel is probably the equivalent to FOX. Anyway, I should have know this would happen. Just the other night I was watching a rerun of Sex and the City and instead of editing the sex scenes they just show Kim Cattrall's boobs. Dang! 

Turns out the vagina show I ended up watching (come on, like you wouldn't) is called "How to Look Good Naked." Not only is it on public television at 8P  and not only to they show naked woman but they show...get this... half naked men - apparently showing a penis is still taboo for these 'progressive' Europeans. I give'em 3 more years before that is all over the TV too. The show basically takes people that have some sort of 'issue' with their bodies as a result of cancer, low self-esteem, etc. and put them through a series of exercises that end up making them more comfortable with their bodies and thereby inflate their self-esteem. Some times to the point where you think, 'shut up, you don't look that good.'

So after my initial shock and watching the rest of the show i realized its not that big of a deal. Who cares if you see a naked body on public television at 8P? Its not like we all don't know what's hiding under all those clothes. I actually hope this show comes to the US. Well, wait. I take that back. Baby steps. There's still a wealth of people who frequent our glorious water and theme parks that need to learn how to wear jean shorts, baby-t's and swim suits before they learn how to look good naked.
