"Advanced" Society & Naked Tribes on Television

I found something to be so odd yesterday. I'm watching a documentary on the Zoe, a tribe from North Brazil near the Amazon River. They hunt for monkeys, have a poturu (a wooden plug) pierced through their bottom lip to distinguish them from other tribes (that's hardcore!) and are pretty much unclothed all the time.

As advanced as we think our society is, it was so interesting that someone at the television station found it necessary to blur out all the adult penises and vaginas. Female breasts and children's genitalia were perfectly okay to show. I took a look around me to notice electric lights, my comfortable couch; I have indoor plumbing, a refrigerator, and bathroom. This is pretty luxurious compared to a dirt floor, monkeys for dinner and huts. Damn we're advanced, aren't we!

I couldn't help but notice that exposed penises and vaginas don't seem to bother them. Who is bothered by this in our "progressive" civilization? I was watching eight-year old girls caring for babies, older men and women farming together, hunting, etc. It was a non-sexually charged atmosphere. Penises and vaginas don't bother or distract their men during their chores...the women don't care, the children don't seem to notice, and it doesn't even phase the monkeys! Why blur them out? All that does is draw more attention to it. Secondly, why are the children's wieners and coochy-pops okay to show?

Americans are the most perverted degenerates on the planet so not surprising at all that the pea brained morons in charge of the U.S. media find it necessary to find an outlet by applying "fuzzy pixels" to the basic elements of human anatomy.
