Yeah, but if we pooped out of our mouths I'm reasonably sure that it would be shown. There are s*** gags in movies and on TV, but what stops them from showing someone actually urinating or pooping is the fact that the regions from which it come are pretty taboo to show in general- to the point where they have time-restrictions to how long you can even show certain body parts on TV or in a movie. And they do have poop and piss gags on movies and tv- they may not show the actual act (for the reasons previously mentioned) but can be decently graphic. And then, of course, there is always Jackass.


<<Bodily functions are worse than spiders, or other things people fear, such as lightning or something like that>>


But this is according to someone who has a fear of a certain bodily function- I'm sure an arachnophobic would disagree. I think you would have to admit that you are a little biased here.


<<If you're arachnophobic, you run the risk of seeing spiders/bugs on TV>>


Yes, and if you're an emetophobic you have to know that you run the risk of seeing vomit on TV or in movies. In some cases, it serves a purpose and is related to the plot. In others, it is just gratuitous. Such is the nature of the entertainment business.


I think that a warning for stuff like this can begin a slippery slope phenomena- and other types of groups will start writing and campaigning to have different warning that suit their interests displayed before the airing of certain programs. Where does it end?
