All I'm saying is that people don't seem to be offended by killing and murder but something like nudity gets them raving. I fail to see why.
It's all about context. A TV show about gangsters is a show about violence, because gangsters use it as a tool. A TV show about courtesans (were such a show to exist) is a show about sex, because courtesans use it as a tool. It's appropriate to show violence on the first show, and it's appropriate to show sex on the second.
Now ... if there are any parents idiotic enough to let their kids watch "Boardwalk Empire", then they should be boiled in oil.
