Aug. 27th, 2004 08:52 amI don't watch much TV, so I take for granted that the TV here is a lot more liberated (and unconcerned about political correctness) than in America.
For example, the AT5 Weather is presented by normal people on the street (sounds like they might save money this way), and yesterday the weather was given by a black immigrant kid aged ~17, smoking a joint (which AFAIK is not legal, but merely "gedoogd" (tolerated) ).
Also in the *news* program (and this not MTV, folks), in covering some sort of festival, they showed an actress asking the interviewed to squeeze her breast. He did so. When she asked him, he did not report feeling the "randje" (which I infer is something like "boner"), so she called him a "homo".
I can't imagine this with American TV.
