Just a boob.

It's just a boob. What do you care if your kid sees a boob? How could seeing a boob even possibly affect someone negatively? I myself saw plenty of boobs as a child, with very little effect at all – positive or negative. Okay, bad example, but it's not like the boob was inciting violence or something. The boob didn't promote hate speech or flash a gang symbol. The boob didn't even use a swear word.

Let's make a list of things that are more offensive on TV than seeing a boob:

• The fact that "Yes Dear" is still on the air.
• That Defense of Marriage crap in Bush's last SOTU.
• That Jessica Lynch made-for-TV movie lie-athon.
• When major league baseball delays a new season of The Simpsons.
• The pervasiveness of televised football: an idiot's sport.
• Bill O'Reilly

But seriously, have you ever actually stopped and pondered why you feel the way you do? What is it about seeing a boob that offends you? It's just a damned boob. There's billions of them out there. One for every human being on the planet, as a matter of fact.
