Sign of the Times

Great quote in the British newspaper the Telegraph by film critic Jenny McCartney:

America, for all its manifold strengths, is still a country in which the population can be roused to a frenzy of condemnation by the sight of Janet Jackson's escaped nipple on the Super Bowl, but views the sight of a bound man being torched to death as all-round family entertainment.

That just about says it all, don't you think?
