Brief nudity on television shows can go unnoticed for years. Take an episode of Three’s Company for example.
If VH-1 released a version where her naughty bits weren’t blurred out then they may be in violation of the contract the signed. I’m not really sure what the damages are here though.
Having examined the images of the woman’s naked anus and vagina that were broadcast, it still look pretty damn blurry to me. All you can tell is that the woman has an anus and vagina, and that they are naked, as otherwise, you would not be able to see them.
The notion that a woman might have a naked anus and vagina might be shocking to some, but I am here to assure you that many women do have anuses and vaginas, and that they are at times naked. To be blunt, a woman’s anus and vagina are always naked beneath her clothing, that’s just a fact of nature.
There are sites on the Internet that are dedicated to showing beautifully photographed, close up, I mean, REALLY close up images of women with their naked anuses and vaginas fully exposed to view and brightly lit, primarily I believe for the purpose of documenting the wonderful variety and beauty of a woman’s naked vagina and anus. The images on these sites truly put the blurry, dim image of the plaintiff’s naked anus and vagina in perspective. If you were to compare the images on such sites with the blurry image that is at issue you would realizes that the image is truly a tempest in a teapot that is so blurry that you cannot even see the little man in the boat that is struggling to survive that tempest.
According to this article:

Yeah, it did start to seem to be a bit much. My final reference substitutes the word “undercarriage”.
So, I’ve always been a little unclear on the whole “cable censors itself” thing. So, cable channels that censor only do so to meet advertisers’ expectations? VH1 has no legal responsibility to censor anything? The FCC would have no interest in this whatsoever?
If that’s the case, they very well may see it as a mutually beneficial controversy. Hey, we’ll have our little Dating Naked show and we’ll screen contestants to make sure we get someone who we expect to be a litigious little shit-stirrer and that’s the one time we’ll “accidentally” let an unblurred image go through to broadcast. We’ll get great publicity when she announces her intention to sue us, we’ll settle out of court for a figure that matches the value of the publicity, everybody’s happy.
I can only imagine VH1 proceeding this way if they have no worries about being fined by the FCC. So, no cause for concern for VH1 on that front?
I know at this point I’m spitting into the wind here, but I doubt her vagina was on display unless they went dating naked at the gynecologist’s office. I expect it’s her anus and vulva.
Call me cynical but if this entire thing is a setup from one end* to the other, I would not be at all surprised.
It would IMHO be highly unlikely for her naked anus and [del]vagina[/del] vulva to “accidentally” get through censorship. It would not be at all surprising for the producers of the show to realise the massive publicity windfall that would arise if this were to “accidentally” occur. And it would not be at all surprising for me to learn that the producers of such a show would be able to find a young woman willing to allow her naked anus and [del]vagina[/del] vulva to be seen on television.
So adding it up it would seem less surprising for me to learn the whole thing was a setup than otherwise.
*Haw, haw, he said “end”
I wonder if her lawyer is working on a cuntingency basis.
I thought VH1 was a music station. Did her naked anus and vagina sing a tune?
That’s VH1’s entire legal defense. “Your Honor, as you can plainly see from the photographs, no images of the plaintiff’s vagina are to be seen…”
From the look I saw, they could have performed the Hallelujah Chorus.
Nice beaver!
VH1 is about as much about music now as MTV.
I think they both have second stations now that play more (all?) music, but if it’s music you want, you have to make the move to Palladia.
First Google hit for “Dating Naked” vagina contains a link to the vagina/anus frame in question:

ETA: Next time maybe I should finish reading the OP. :smack:
A “splitting hairs” observation comes to mind, but good taste and discretion prevail. As always.
Along with vaginas I also saw no presence of hairs in the photo.
Wouldn’t the people who would harass her for unblurred genitals also be harassing her for blurred ones?
What if the woman’s pudendum just naturally has a blurry appearance, and VH1, by blurring it actually brought it into sharp focus?
We should get them all together and form an A/V Club!!
With no meat in it. That’s in the DVD release.
