What has happened to Television?Ever since I posted my last post about the blurring of indigenous women in the Amazing Race, I have been wondering just what has happened to TV since that “Wardrobe Malfunction” during the Superbowl years ago.The image above is from the 1973 Beg-athon on KCET (PBS Los Angeles) where Valerie Perrine appeared wearing a towel around her waist. No attempt was made to hide her breasts through most of her time on stage. There is no chance that could be played today.But before that, in 1967 on Channel 13 in Los Angeles, Bill Burrud did a half hour tour of Glen Eden. He had a lovely nude young female guide. No attempt was made to hide breasts, genitals, butts, etc of anyone seen on camera. I didn’t see that show, but my parents did and as a result they became nudists. They bought a cabin at McConville, which used to be on the road between San Juan Capistrano and Lake Elsinore. Every weekend my parents, and a couple they knew from church, would head out to the “Stump Ranch” to unwind from the work week. I don’t know how many people became nudists because of that show, but I can name four who did.The shame is that today we don’t have that avenue, nor most of social media, to help us draw in new converts. Shows like “Dating Blurred” and “Blurred and Afraid” do nothing to help our cause. If anything they make us look absurd because we would dare to do something so “uncivilized” and “unAmerican”. Meanwhile we have all the murder, horror and man’s inhumanity to man we could ever want to watch.How the hell did we ever get here, and how do we get back to some form of sanity regarding the human body? -- source link
