    It all comes down to the puritanical beliefs of the Bible Belters (Immoral Minority) determining our morals.

    In most other countries, tame nudity (topless, etc) is seen as irrelevant, while in the US, it seems a glimpse of a butt is enough to get an R rating.

    On the other hand, large quantity of violence in most countries is frowned upon while it is glorified in the US.

    Go Figure. :(
