Why is this?

While I am definitely a conservative (but don't tell Paul that :-O), I've always wondered why showing a woman (or a child) naked, bloody, mutilated, or blown to bits is socially acceptable in the name of journalism, but showing a naked breast isn't acceptable.

Someone once asked, why showing a man cutting off a woman's breast gets an "R" rating (pick your basic slice and hack horror movie), but showing a man carressing a breast gets an "X" rating? It implies that committing violence against a woman is OK, but showing her affection isn't. What kind of message does this send? Is there something wrong with our values and morals?

The main criticism I've heard regarding the whole affair, isn't that her breast was revealed, but the way it was done. It was a rude, crass, vulgar display.

I'm with Rickster, bring on the breasts. In a soft, senuous manner, of course.
