Accidental Full Frontal Nudity On The Survivor: Gabon Premiere

thumbnail icon: Accidental Full Frontal Nudity On The Survivor: Gabon Premiere

I didn't catch the premiere of Survivor: Gabon last night, but according to our friends at FeyFriends, a contestant named Marcus lost brief control of his thingy while running in some sort of race of some kind. In the interest of bringing Videogum readers all the mainstream full frontal male nudity we can find, however blurry, iffy, or Jason Segely, the screenshot is after the jump.

And there's a bigger version (of the picture, haha) and a picture of the dude, Marcus or whoever, on the FeyFriends site. This has been really exciting you guys! If you see any more wangs in unusual places (like primetime network TV), send us a tip!

We are an organization of 200 plus and growing quickly by the day. You can find our home page at www.fighttheMPAA.com.

Our goal is to form a resistance to the gender biased media that has existed for the past 46 years.

On Tuesday, October 14, 2008, we sent the following email to Ray Faiola, CBS Audiences Services.
212-975-3166 rpfaiola@cbs.com
We also called him and he told us he never received the email, we are still waiting for a response from CBS.


* On Thursday, Sept. 25, 2008, CBS aired a showing of
"Survivor: Gabon" in which a contestant known as Marcus has an alleged wardrobe malfunction which allowed his penis to become visible. The penis was in no way censored by CBS.

The uncensored penis in "Survivor: Gabon" is in no way new news as the media has done this numerous times in the past, but instead of being "supposedly unintentional", as in "Survivor: Gabon", it was obviously intended, as were the following examples:

* Superman (1978), aired often on public TV, showed a prepubescent boy's full frontal nudity, no censor.

*
Never Cry Wolf (1983), also aired on public TV, showed full frontal nudity of a grown man's genitalia, no censor.

* In the mid 80's I can recall watching a news report on prison guards who went to work one day totally nude. The censor patch was applied poorly and at most times did absolutely no good what-so-ever.

* Not to mention the countless documentaries made about foreign cultures, in which nudity is considered acceptable for airing as it depicts the culture being studied, but it is always a penis we are being shown in these documentaries, not a vulva.

Why is it that censorship only works in regards to female nudity and not male nudity?

Why is it the media is only concerned with not offending viewers who disapprove of female nudity, but they are in no way concerned with offending viewers who disapprove of male nudity?

Please do not site the Janet Jackson Super Bowl Incident, as we see male's nipples on television day-in and day-out. A female nipple is in no way equivalent to male genitalia.


We also sent the above email to the Chairman of the FCC, Kevin J. Martin, with these additional questions:


Will the FCC set an example by slapping CBS with a fine much greater than that of the Janet Jackson Super Bowl Incident, or will the FCC show them selves to be gender biased by making a much weaker fine for this "incident", there by encouraging CBS to do this kind of thing again and again.

Also what are the fines for the following:

A females nipple

A males nipple

A vulva

A penis

And if the fines are held to different standards in regards to male nudity vs. female nudity could you please explain why.

Once again we are awaiting a response from the FCC.
To contact the FCC the number is,
Phone: 1-888-CALL-FCC

Respectfully,

Noel Torrey
