ericadawn16I was watching the MTV version of Skins from last week and Chris' ass? It wasn't blurred.
I was pissed but not in the way everyone else is. Why is Chris' ass on MTV unedited and Chris' ass on BBCA blurred?
I realize MTV is supposed to appeal to the lowest common denominator but shouldn't BBCA give us more credit than that? They blur ALL asses!!! Chris, Jack, Rhys, George, you name it and it infuriates me. It also annoys me when they bleep out fuck but fine, whatever...scaredy-cats. They used to air unedited BBC programming on PBS before the Janet Jackson debacle set us back to the Dark Ages.
However, the point still stands: If MTV is capable of showing unedited ass at 10 PM EST, why can't BBCA do the same at 1 AM EST? We come off like freaking prudes to the rest of the world and it's a select few, not the majority. We PAY for BBCA, dammit!
I remember before I had dvr, they would show This Life at 4 in the morning because it was "too racy" for earlier. Grr.

Can you imagine if TW4 is shown on there? You'd miss the whole Jack in bed with another guy scene that's been so hyped. (Hell, I won't be watching regardless, but I'm sure the Interwebs will provide as always).

I do subscribe to Starz though. We got them free for six months when we first subscribed to DirectTv. Then, we tried going without it but I missed it too much so I pay for the extra. I like how Starz gets all the Disney enterprise films, like Prince of Persia on Saturday. Starz also has LOTR which I own on dvd anyway but it's so much nicer to just turn on the tv and have it right there.
