The "Naked" Truth

In light of the recent SOPA and PIPA bills this is an interesting take on how the media is cracking down on what can be seen on television and what can't be seen. Times that are deemed "family time" for television are sometimes showing questionable inappropriate content. This comes in the form of nudity and bad language that that could be shown during, for instance, award shows where the word is bleeped out but it is still clear what was said. However, this "questionable content" can also be argued itself as being completely subjective. The main question remains either way how much do we really want our media to be censored and how much power should the FCC have over the content?
