this has caused some controversy in the UK, the culprit received a police caution, but could have resulted in prosecution.
What would happen in your country?

Over here in the States where tits are banned and they bleep the word shit on TV, people would have been screaming for the guy's blood. Likely what would have come of it is that he would be harrassed by the police for a tiny bit, then by the media a whole hella lot and then sued by the news chick and TV station.
Doesn't he know sex is a horrible horrible thing, but violence is wonderful. Had he smashed her in the skull it would have been a blip on the news; hit someone, arrested, charged, paid fine. But stir up people's impure thoughts like that and it would play on the media for weeks or months.

That's what happens when you found a colony with puritans and run it with hypocritical so-called christians. The States view on nudity and sex is kinda similar to the Taliban run places, well, kinda sort of but in a much much milder way.
Where women wear burkhas, a glimpse at an ankle or fore arm gives the locals a boner and drives them wild. Here in the States, a 1/4 second glimpse at a nipple during a really crappy halftime show at a game that is watched more for the clever commercials than game play caused a huge sensation. See any similarities?

I loved Benny Hill's show, it was funny as hell and they were pretty risque for their time especially for American TV. I guess that is why it was on so late. Good thing they weren't so litigious back then, imagine if Benny had been sued by all the women whom's bottom he pinched.
They haven't banned tits outright, yet, but the censors block any sight of them on broadcast TV but allow mindless violence. It is OK to show someones brains get splattered all over the place by a large calibre weapon but no titties or cursing. It doesn't make a damn bit of sense to me.

For what it's worth, Janet Jackson has a darned fine pair of norks. The whole event would have been worth a quick one off the wrist, except for that wally Timberlake who really spoiled the moment. Pass me m' pistol, guv'nor...

so are breasts banned from all tv at all times? In the uk breasts can occur in a sexual sense after 9pm, and could appear in a non-sexual context at any other time. The sometimes show muffs as well.

You might see a titty after 11 pm, but it isn't that common, no muffs ever except on the movie channels, but those cost extra. It is particularly confusing that you can find porno mags at almost any convenience store and some gas stations, but no titties on TV.
