Will TV Indeacency and the Super Bowl Haunt us?

Through all these debates about indecency on American television corrupting children, I've not yet heard one mention of standards on European television. Far more liberal views are taken on nudity and language here (though not violence, generally) and I don't see any huge decline in morality.

Hell, I found out that on certain public channels after 9pm, they show nothing but softcore porn. After the initial shock of "Hey, boobs!" and "Wait, am I paying extra for this?", it just became the norm.

I don't fear the FCC and other American censors dumbing down children's television and Saturday morning cartoons as much as I fear them going after adult programmes that children may be exposed to.
