Both are victims of the current climate of censorship and the fear of nudity in American Society. In a documentary airing tonight on PBS, the classic nude photographs of Monroe will have the naughty bits blurred. "These photos were artistic and still are," filmmaker Gail Levin says. "In a climate of Janet Jackson absurdity, to seize nudity as an issue to be censored, I consider it awful." Monroe was not ashamed of the fact that she was a sexual being, and neither should we. I wish that someone would explain to me how the sight of a female breast is so dangerous that we have to completely eliminate it from broadcast television.
