Janet Jackson shows her boob for 2 seconds, big scandal. National Geographic shows the breasts and more of people in skimpy clothes, especially if they are from isolated regions of the world or poor African countries. Why do they get away with this?

Because it is serious journalism and not designed to titilate. It is also on cable, so they operate under different rules than the broadcast networks.

I guess they can call it educational. To me, it would be culturally insensitive to impose our body hangups upon people from other parts of the world. I wish our culture was less ashamed of our bodies and nature.

BECAUSE it is NOT pornographic in ANY way! THAT is how many people of different cultures live everyday, ESPECIALLY many Native American tribes in Central and South America!

A better question is why nudity is censored at all.
