Quadruple Standards

At what point did the religious right decide that the corner of an areola is much more grotesque than watching an obese half naked man bob for pig balls in a pool of monkey blood? Who decided that Janet Jackson’s nipple is more disgusting than watching sixteen different angles of Anthony Munoz‘s broken leg in the Super Bowl?

What happened to our common sense? It went right out the window next to Dennis Franz's bare elephant ass on NYPD Blue. Why do I get to watch some millionaire doctor pummel a poor woman’s interior organs while giving her a breast implant but the half falling off nipple is digitally hidden from view? Why am I able to see a breast augmentation of a man trying to be a woman and the nipple isn’t blurred out until the first saline fun bag is implanted and according to the FCC he is now a woman?

Why am I forced to listen to someone on Fear Factor yak a lung on the ground but the actual bile that is spewed is pixilated? How come the words ass and bitch can be said in almost any context on Primetime but the word tit cannot unless referring to a small rodent? How come I can hear the word shit on basic cable but I can’t see the shit? Which one is more natural? The most useful word in the English language, one that can be used as an adverb, pronoun, adjective, verb and noun cannot be said but I can just about see the act on an episode of Nip Tuck?

How come any decent radio show host can literally give you the play by play on a porn with insightful adjectives, analogies and colloquials, but porn is looked down upon by 50% of America while the other 50% have a collection that numbers more than Netflix’s pre-order of Pirates of the Caribbean II? Why? Because America is nothing but hypocrisy and double standards. Much like the ranting politician who tells us that weed is a gateway drug to heroin and homosexuality yet when he gets to his apartment, calls up his underage homosexual lover to bring over a sack, a bong and a 12” vibrator.
