Stat of the Week - 6300% More ...

A recent study by the Parents Television Council came up with this claim -

There was a 6300% increase in full-frontal nudity in network prime time television last year.

Now before we all rush off to watch it, a few caveats.  First, the actual number of instances was 64 for the 2011-12 season compared to 1 case in the previous year.  As for the full extent of that "full-frontal nudity" - in 74% of the cases, shows used blurring or pixelation to cover the offending body parts, and in another 5% of cases a black bar or object covered the nudity.  And when asked, a PTC representative admitted that placement of other objects obscured the naughty bits in the remaining cases - there was no actual visibly bare full-frontal nudity.

The PTC listed NBC as the biggest "offender", with 35 cases.  ABC had 17, CBS 5 (including Ashton Kutcher's infamous debut on 'Three and a Half Men'), the CW had 4, and Fox was cited for three (non-animated) instances.
