At the best of times I am quite unaware of most things that go on in the USA but I can well remember the TV documentary made in the UK about eunuchs, and I am pleased to have been able to make a contribution abeit only a small one. We had similar conversations at the time on these boards regarding the integrity and it was only after much debate and some investigation did I eventually meet the Producers. They actually came and included America in the film and I am sure that many members here will remember that.

Is this going to be the same sort of thing but from the USA prospective I wonder? Presumably just only Americans involved perhaps? Interesting!

Having and being an american citizen all my life I can tell you straight out that the UK takes a different attitude towards sexuality. Just look at what you can watch in terms of nudity, or straight forward bawdy comety. While here in the USA we have a bunch of prudes who run network television. Besides all that we travewl at a faster pase and I can assure you unless the pictures are descriptive and sensational nobody will watch it anyway. We can not compare the UK with the USA just becsue we speak the same language. So be careful about assumptions about who it would help or who it would hurt. Im not into destroying my life or anyone eleses. I will continue to say BE CAREFUL..... HAVE SOME CONTROL OVER THE ARTICLE... AND PROTECT YOUR BALLS!!!!!! and so it goes... Scottie

If you think that the UK is more open about what is on TV or in comedy, etc., you should see some of the stuff that Japan considers rated "G - all audiences" by American standards!

MUCH more open and less repressed.

I've seen some Japanese films (thanks to my University contact) that are the same thing as being "All audiences approved" OR rated "G" that are just fine and dandy in Japan ... and it would scare the hell out of me to own one of them on DVD for fear of being arrested if anyone found out I had it!

But getting back to the topic...

Everything that is said, filmed, viewed, whatever ... will always be taken differently by those in other cultures who are exposed to it. Movies, for example. There is always some deviation, thus the need to be careful.

Remember playing the game "whispers" when you were in school? One person would start by whispering a phrase to the person next to him. By the time it got back to him, it would be NOTHING like it was when it started out, as each retelling altered it a bit.

Such is the case here.

I played the game in school, although I thought the reason that the message got completely scrambled was that people were whispering instead of speaking clearly, thus causing some words to be inaudible sometimes.

In one case, a girl whispered something to me and I couldn't hear clearly a word she said. Then I got accused by my classmates of deliberately changing the message.
