Re:Hypocrisy: Porn "Bad"; Prostitution "Good" (Score 1)

I think most straight-thinking people would consider the sight of vomitting and/or consumption of maggots more offensive than a nipple. However, these sights are visible on Fear Factor commercials during TV shows such as Friends (which is quite an unoffensive show). It seems a bit weird that this kind of stuff can make it onto TV, with pretty much no newsworthy outcry against it, yet a nipple slip during a football match (with streakers to be expected) can cause so much commotion. I would consider it more of a bias, rather than hypocrisy. TV stations want to advertise their own shows for their own benefits, and the media hyped the nipple slip because they could milk so much out of it. The Chinese police/government also have to work on a similar basis of highest revenue and lowest cost - meaning they'll bust up a major chain of illegal pornography or prostitution if the effort required isn't unworthwhile. But I'd guess for most of the cases, the effort required by law enforcement to crack down on these isn't always the most effective way to utilize their resources.
