Nice clip, Froepaly!  Wow... it's not like her nips are off the charts or anything...  



And good eye on the feelski by the extra.  That happened fast -- I probably watched it 4 or 5 times before I picked up on it.

It's the kind of thing I would do so I guess that's why I noticed it   And those nipples are spectacular

Froepaly - what codec am I missing? I have the latest version of QTPro (Mac), but it won't play the clip. In the meantime, I'll transfer the clip over to my PC at home and see if it plays there . . .

Chestnuts, it's an mpeg2 (direct dvd rip). Hope that helps.

Again, you're the man!
How are that new clips of our goddess Tixie coming?

As for Stargate, I've done a bit of research, and indeed the first version shown in the US was with nudity, however later on the re-runs on SciFi and other channels, the scene was cut.

There was a huge debate on the imdb board for the pilot movie. Apparently some mother watched the (uncut) DVD with her k.i.d.s. and was extremely angry about that scene. The American obsession with good 'ol plain nipples never cease to amaze me.

Youtube has all these clips.

I don't think is was just the nipples, but the full-frontal nudity that was the problem.

Don't see nothing wrong with that either.
Then again there's no western people that are so obsessed with nudity and sexuality than Americans. No offense.

As a parent, I would probably never watch an UNRATED version of any movie for the first time with my family. That is just who I am.

That mother can only blame herself for watching an UNRATED movie and shocked when she sees something she didn't expect. Ratings are useful and if she was really that sensitive, then she should use several websites that review movie content, screen PG-13, R and Unrated DVDs, etc.

There are plenty of tools for parents to use and nothing beats good old fashion screenings.

Ratings and pre-screening are great tools. I own unrated material, etc. But I use the tools available and if I am still unsure, then I prescreen. Pisses me off when I hear about people complaining that someone else isn't protecting their family from material they find offensive, regardless of nudity, profanity, violence, etc. It's not like it was on public television. And even if it was, they should update their hardware to take advantage of ratings controlled blocking, etc.

But in this case, it was a DVD. So it's completely her fault. It was listed as Unrated and so she should have found the rated version as a guide, used an online tool, or watched it first. No one forced her to watch it with her [censored].

Works fine on my pc, thanks. Still curious why it doesn't on my Mac. I can play/view some other mpeg2 dvd clips on the mac.

Why go mad over a pair of breasts and pubic hair anyway? It's not like her k.i.d.s. have never seen these wonders before. What's so weird about American society is that people (mostly have) zero problems with gross violence on TV and movies, but when a half-covered nipple pops up at the Superbowl halftime show, millions of people go mad.   Yet on the other hand America has the biggest porn industry in the world and there's probably no people on this planet that are so obsessed with porn than Americans.

Regardless of country, what society you are a part of, what you believe, what lines you draw on what subject. It's still her fault. It doesn't matter if you or someone else thinks the material is ok. So many people talk about why society is the way it is. Why Americans (or whatever place) is like this or like that.

It doesn't matter. I don't care that this mom has an issue with the content. Regardless of nudity or violence, or whatever. Tools are a great thing to have and I am upset that she is pointing fingers when there are plenty of tools to help her raise her family the way she wants.

I might not agree with her ways or her lines of morals. But I don't have to. Who cares if she wants to let her little ones watch violence (though that wasn't mentioned) and then sheild them from sex. What a pointless discussion to talk about how any society reacts to sex, violence, or language in the media. There are plenty of tools to help them filter how they want. And with Media on Disc, she had the easiest method of all... prescreening.

And now, to just throw this out there. While I don't care what other people choose to watch. I myself can't stand gore, language, nudity, extreme violence, abuse, etc... in the media I watch. I use tools that are probably mostly used by parents for their young family, and I use those tools for the media I watch. There is nothing wrong with that. It doesn't affect what is released or what others choose to watch. It only helps me to watch the things I want to watch and that is a great feeling.

Sure I like to watch sexy clothed women... and maybe that is another line altogether. But I have a problem with this woman complaining about the nudity on an UNRATED DVD. To me it shows a lack of intelligence and common sense.

And another thing... who cares what country she is in. I don't see how that has anything to do with her reaction. If it was a Swedish mom, where woman are topless on beaches all the time, and she acted that way. I would still feel exactly the same way. Just because the Swedish society as a group feels that is ok, that doesn't mean it's wrong from someone in Sweden to feel it's not ok. Why bash someone's choice to see or not see nudity, etc. But this woman had no business complaining in her situation.

At the risk of derailing this thread....

To extend and embrace the point ThomasSchmidt was making and to your point as well, there are enough people in this country who do unbelievably dumb things and immediately want to point the finger of blame at someone else, or at some identifiable group.  One only needs to look as far as frivolous lawsuits to see this.

When I first came to work in the USA I bought a handheld hair dryer.  What surprised me is it had this large warning tag on the electric cord which says on one side in large lettering:

"UNPLUG IT
DO NOT REMOVE THIS TAG!
WARN CHILDREN OF THE RISK OF DEATH BY ELECTRIC SHOCK!

and the flip side starts out with KEEP AWAY FROM WATER DANGER -- and continues down a bulleted list as to the basics of electrical appliances and electricity in general, and some dos and don'ts to follow.

Pretty much common sense to me, and no doubt to most (all?) of you reading this.  I more or less paid attention to such things in school (and from my parents) as well as getting to read the occasional book as a c.h.i.l.d.  (This touches on the whole issue of self-inflicted illiteracy, but I'll resist the urge to stray.)

Never once saw a hairdryer in Canada with one of those attached.  Which begs the question, what litigation inspired its creation?  I'm trying to imagine just one person who could conceivably say that they didn't know that electricity and water don't play nicely together.

Sure, similar sorts of silliness exist in Canada and other countries, but it really does pale in comparison to what's going on here.  There's an enduring theme here of "I shouldn't suffer from my own silliness, therefore I'll do what it takes to redirect the blame and the consequences."  In a sense there's this theme of reaching for the brass ring, which is admirable, but many folks have a twisted perception of what form the brass ring takes.  Take for example finding a mouse/roach/whatever in your prepared food.  The popular response is akin to having won the lottery.  Rather than ensuring the health and well-being of the individual, as well as the expected investigation of the tort, the individual either expects or receives some sort of payout.

So in the case of the woman outraged by her offspring seeing something she deems offensive, yes, the finger of blame points squarely at her.  But no, because she lacked the wherewithal or the competence to actually take some responsibility, everyone else gets to enjoy the milquetoast version.

Gladly, this mentality isn't universal.  Fortunately it's in the minority; I find it refreshing when I speak with Americans who make a point to say just how silly/excessive these things are, and how people should take more responsibility for their own actions.  It shows a wisp of hope that maybe common sense will one day take a firm grasp of the situation, relegating such stories to the annals of urban legend.

To belatedly return this thread to it's original topic: cleavage in Stargate, rather than societal mores about nudity in media...  

Quote:

Quote:
Do you know any other episodes that have cleavage?

Yes,  I have caps from one called "Irresistable."  I wonder is the pic above from this episode.  More pics to come

I only just saw the "Irresistible" episode of Stargate: Atlantis for the first time this past weekend. Great episode... Richard Kind was very funny (I think Bill Shatner would have been good in this role too if he weren't so well-known and already too highly paid on Boston Legal) and of course, there were plenty of reasonably buxom cleavage-bearing ladies to be seen. Of particular note was the gorgeous 30-something brunette who played RK's "first wife" ...a fantastic specimen in every respect (seen on left below; I'd not mind more pix of her at all ):



QUESTION for Stargate SG1 and Stargate Atlantis experts: are ALL SG episodes/seasons shot and broadcast (somewhere other than on US TV) in an R-rated fashion (as the image of the smoky and topless Vaitiare Bandera below illustrates)



...or were some seasons shot only in the PG fashion I'm (sadly ) used to due to whatever distribution deals were in place at the time? Inquiring minds want to know.

Another QUESTION: the other day the (gold) boxed 10-season set of SG1 went on sale (btwn $200-300US)... I presume these are regular definition (not HD or BlueRay) DVDs... but does anyone know if they represent the PG (US broadcast) versions of the shows or the slightly racier (occasional partial nudity equipped) versions mentioned above?  

PS: both pix displayed in this post are actually referenced to image attachments made previously by other users, so I haven't broken the 1-1-1 rule here.

PPS: in my own feeble, after-the-fact defense, I always get Charles Grodin and Richard Kind confused, even though they're only superficially similar. So sue me!
