I've got a Cokin filter manual for my camera that I bought when I lived in SA in the early 1980's -- same deal: any woman with flesh exposed was neatly magic markered into compliance -- page by page.

Every society has standards, I'm still trying to understand the big deal about a "wardrobe malfunction" I think the real story is that they manually censored these CDs...didn't they think to require the publisher to provide more modest images?
