TV has gotten a whole lot racier, according to a report by the Parents Television Council. It found that instances of full-frontal nudity jumped 6,300% last year, from just one instance in the 2010-2011 television season to 64 last year. "Full nudity" also ratcheted up 407%, to 76 instances from 15. The council reviewed programming on ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, and the CW. Among its other findings:
- Nudity comes earlier in the evening now (as early as 7pm)
- Most instances of nudity did not get the "S" warning for adult content
- Use of pixilation to cover nudity jumped from two instances to 56, but a rep for the council wasn't impressed. "The impact is virtually the same," she tells the New York Post. "Just as bleeping an F-word is virtually the same as airing the actual word."
