Tell me they're dreaming

Does anybody else find these proposals - banning the "evils" of TV's Big Brother et al - nothing more than appealing to the following constituents:

- rabid Christians/Muslims/Jews who find even the sight of a stray nipple hair too much to handle?

- those who prefer to ignore the greater problem of young men and women's body image issues during early years of puberty and development?

- those who still see our politicians as being the moral arbiters of our time?

- those who see no problem in launching an illegal war in far-away lands and violent movies screening nightly on commercial TV, but think that moral degradation is upon us with the sight of a stray breast?
