Balls or no balls, it's pretty lame that he couldn't pelvic thrust on camera. The things that people do these days is much more provocative. I'm not sure I agree that censorship is oppressed these days. I think that the FCC is a bit contradicting when it comes to radio and TV. They really need to lay off a bit I think.

You've got to understand the times. Polite people didn't talk about sex, pregnancy, etc. in mixed company and they sure didn't want it on their televisions. When Lucille Ball became pregnant in real life, the pregnancy was written into the script, but the word 'pregnant' wasn't allowed. Hell, Lucy and Ricky, Rob and Laura, Ethel and Fred, etc. all slept in twin beds!
The movie "Love Story" had an R rating at the movies and it could be aired any time of the day now, uncut!

I'm not so sure that so much censorship was a bad thing. Maybe if we had retained a little of that "politeness", we wouldn't be so immune to all the sex and violence we see today.
