Non-US TV Shows
Most of us here know that Americans fear the female nipple and the showing of such a thing on non-pay channels will destroy society and turn all men into rapists and perverts...
...but how about TV shows outside the US? Is the female breast or WORSE allowed to be shown on non-premium channels ?

Here I thought this was going to be a discussion about No-US TV shows. Instead it's just a thread about foreign nipples.
What about Italian TV? Or French? We have mexican channels here, but they seem very "Americanized."

I took a trip to England and Italy last October.
Honestly, the whole tv censorship thing gets overblown IMO. To be fair, I only watched tv in hotels and I couldn't understand what the Italian actors were saying. That being said, nudity is allowed on tv, but it's not in the quantity that Americans have made it out to be.
There was some sort of sex call-in show on Italian tv late at night and the women were naked. But they were also old and/or disgusting looking, so there's really not much of a point in watching them. I don't remember seeing any nudity when I was in the UK, the big thing there was that pretty much any language was allowed on tv based on how late it was.
As for violence, I watched Rambo in Italy and it seemed to be broadcast dubbed, but in tact.
Bottom line, foreign tv is not just a bunch of women running around naked having hardcore sex. And with the Internet the way it is today, do we really need it? I do think the language stuff was cool though.
