Parents Television Council files indecency complaint over near-nudeness in America's Next Top Model.
Some of those who watched the March 26 episode of America's Next Top Model got a little more than they bargained for (although most probably got a little less than they wanted) when one of the contestants was filmed during a nude modeling shoot.
The blonde model, Anya, was posing on a white bed with a
cameraman capturing her every move. Of course, Anya's naughty bits were blurred out, giving her a smoothed over Barbie doll body.
Still, that wasn't enough for the Parents Television Council, who deemed the broadcast improper for family hour, and have filed an indecency complaint with the Federal Communications Commission and are asking others to do the same.
"It is irresponsible for the CW Network to air full frontal nudity on the public airwaves at 8:00 p.m., and based upon our analysis of the broadcast in question we believe this has crossed the legal threshold for broadcast indecency," said PTC president Tim Winter.
When asked for comment, the CW said: "Our policy is not to comment on pending regulatory matters. However, there is no merit to the indecency claim against America's Next Top Model."
The PTC's goal is to keep television in line and make sure things that the group decrees "indecent" stay away from the innocent eyes of our future--the children. The group has links for concerned citizens to file a formal complaint to the FCC.
"This is not simply a matter of artistic freedom, as some might claim," Winter says. "Rather, this is about a television network intentionally pushing the envelope to establish a new acceptable nudity standard for the broadcast medium. The entire photo shoot scene, which lasted for more than a minute, is wholly gratuitous and undoubtedly intended to titillate."
Were you "titillated" by the blurry blonde? Have another look (over at YouTube) and judge for yourself.
Oh no! What has this world come to that the natural human body is a piece of taboo that we turn to disgrace when someone feels comfortable and open? (Ha! take that FCC and Conservative Republicans)
