Nudity

Nudity should be allowed to be shown on television. Nudity on television in limited to late night and at the same time informs the viewer(s) of nudity being present in the show. Nudity is not an obscene gesture; it deals with body parts that are dealt with by everybody on a daily basis. It does not affect the mentality of the youth as violence does.
