When (none / 0)
has nudity ever pushed people away?  They may say they hate it, they may even email that hatred, but they'll be watching I assure you.

I'm sure (none / 0)
*some* women and overly PC types (the show is mostly progressive talk) have been or would be bothered.

Now, the stance could be "screw em, we'll do what we want", which is fine.  I'm just saying that just about everything has pros and cons.

When I post TYT clips online I usually get positive feedback, but even within the progressve community, opinions can vary wildly.  Sometimes people think Cenk is being sexist.  Sometimes they think he's being too crude.  Sometimes they think he's naive about the media.   Som etimes times they think he's too hard on Democrats, and other times they think he's too soft.

Again, most of the time it's the opposite, and people love the clips.  But you can't make all of the people happy all of the time.

Me? Obviously I enjoy most female nudity, and overall I don't think it's a big deal.  But some people who watch the show with kids around and if they miss the earmuff/blindfold the kids warning...

We're probabl overthinking this. Okay, *I* am overthinking this, but you asked the question.  ;)

No! (none / 0)

All issues are black and white!  Stop with your quaint little nuances.  You're either pro-boob or anti-boob.  No two ways about it.

By the way (none / 0)
I didn't see today's show yet. I assume this about the new Eva Mendes pics (click them for the non-censored version).

What's the big deal, it's not the first time she's been naked.

To be honest, the new pics aren't that great.  They tried to be too artsy and lost a lot of the sexiness.  I know, I know, that's why she did it, but still.

you are right (none / 0)

I don't want the show to change and I like how irreverent it is myself.  But I do think many women (PC or not) might be put off if the first time they come to the website there are naked photos.  I don't mind sex and nudity at all, but if I saw that first, I would tend to jump to the conclusion that it was a sexist show.  Part of me says screw 'em, but part of me wishes more people would tune in.  Then again, if we try to please those folks, the show would have to change radically, so screw em.  Yikes, was I flippy-floppier than nobias?

Personally I could give a rat's ass about other people's kids accidentally seeing a website.  That is their problem.

Nudity and anti-nudity people (none / 0)
Just look at FOX. They hate young people, sex and liberalism but can't go half a segment without having a porn star or a stripper on.

Dancing With The Stars (none / 0)
I like to explain why I think the show Dancing With The Stars is such a big hit.

Basically, the women love it for the dancing and maybe music.  Same for gay men.

The husbands watch it with their wives pretending that it's "ok" because the women have sexy, scantily dressed bodies, and a lot of the dances are sexual.

But the trick is, the husbands never explicitly admit this, and the wives either don't realize it or pretend it's not the case.

And so what if the kids are around, it's just a "family dancing show" on ABC, right?  That's the genius of it. And no, I don't watch it, but I have seem some of it.  A lot of the professional dancers have great bodies (some a little TOO toned for my taste, but still) but questionable faces.
