I always find it interesting that no level of violence is deemed inappropriate in the US but nudity has to be avoided at any cost.

Also the censorship of a few spoken words on TV while showing gore and other violent scenes are not a problem. I find it weird also cause when the word is censored as a viewer you already know that's what the character was meant to say.

What I find interesting is that, de facto, global services like Facebook, are following and imposing to the rest of world the American cultural norms.

It could have been a worse country, but that is a new twist on soft power (or at least in a new medium and in a new form).

A feature that can be utilized to make boring dialog really funny https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhJNwKpS6OU

Edit: This just made me realize you can bump G rated content up to PG-13 just by adding beeps and blurs. I bet that's how most reality TV content is generated.
