The Rant

The human body, the very same one that we all possess, is being sexualized, censored, and condemned. Americans are apparently unable to tell the difference between nudity and pornography, and our country's sexual fixation has gotten the best of us. No one complains about the gruesome slaughters featured in the "Saw" series or the horrific violence featured in "Hostel," but films such as "The Dreamers" and "Boys Don't Cry" which are chock full of nudity are apparently too much for the American public to see due to the presentation of what we all bear under our clothes. Even the promiscuity of American clothing seems contradictory to typical American values. One can walk around with nothing on except a bikini that accentuates more than it conceals, but to take off the little clothing that is barely even there is a crime punishable by law. In terms of nudity and censorship, American priorities are clearly in the wrong place.
