Whether looking at films, television series, billboards or magazines nudity in British media is everywhere...From the half nacked women, 'dressed' in a bathing suit, on the front of a glossy magazine, to the man running around stark nacked in the Aero chocolate bar television advert, to, dare i say it, the images of 'glamour' models on page three of the Sun newspaper! The obsession we have with nudity is beyond me! Ultimatley there, in my mind, can only be two logical explainations to this exclusive obsession the British public have with nudity in the media. The first being, we have lost all hope of intellectual expression, and so have to revert to exploiting our physical bodies, instead of expressing ourselves using our brains! Or there is, and has been, a loss of all self-respect and self-worh in this society, for the physical body. Ultimatley if we as a nation feel it is needed or even acceptable to strip off and 'express' ourselves half nacked at any given chance, then what does that say about us as intellectual's and academics??? This obsession we have, in this country, the same country which has the highest levels of STI's and underage pregnancies, says so much about our so called 'great' nation! Why are we then so hung up on sex? When did sexuality replace intellegence and academic success and why is no one appreciating the fact that there must be some corellation between the sex-crazed media and the sociatal problems, such as underage pregnancies and STI's!!!! If the media is going to promote promiscuity as a healthy form of expression, then 'Great' Britain is going to continue down the road it is already on; i.e. that of a society where promiscuity is the norm and there is a TOTAL loss of all values, self-respect and intellectual expression!!!
