London Quirks - Observation 2

London TV is very...liberal.

At 8 plus on Mondays there's this show called "Undress the Nation", and one of the episodes was about how many women wear the wrong size bras, and they went on a crusade to get women to find the right bra. In the process, they somehow got many many women to strip off their clothes, and even strip off their bra on national tv! Well, first, the thing I find really strange is that they even show topless women at 8plus. Second, why did those women even strip when they know the camera is pointing at them?!?

And the best part, Trinny and Suzannah (the hosts) didn't themselves strip topless. If they had to take off their bra they used a towel to cover themselves. Hmm..double standards?

And now I'm watching this programme on tv called "Autopsy: Emergency Room", and they show a real cadaver being sliced open, until the entire front torso is flipped back onto the legs. They cut upon the skull and look at the 'fresh' brain. (I actually took some photos, but I think it might be too much to stomach for some of you :) ). But ok lah, though it still seems a bit much for tv, I do find this quite interesting, heh :) But again, they show women and men completely nude, in the name of education - for illustration purposes. They have an artist draw out the bones on the models, and show where fractures take place.

Anyway, one thing is for sure. If you are in Britain with kids, you better take note of what programmes they are watching on tv!
