I realize all that, and know full well when it was released (I saw it first-run in the theatre) and I realize what has changed over the years.
But I'm sure there are other newer movies in the last 25 years (or even the last 5 years) where teens are portrayed and depicted having sex. In 2005's "The Quiet" for example, Elisha Cuthbert is a student and is getting sexually abused by her father. No nudity but there are a few pretty intense scenes. Ever see the movie "Thirteen"?
My point was that there is some very boned up thinking when it comes to the internet. Certain types of content and subjects are okay in movies, but magically they somehow become taboo when it comes to showing the same or similar thing on a website. You can crack a Sears catalogue and see teens in their undies but post a pic of a 15 or 16 yr old celeb in a bikini and all kinds of hackles get ruffled, alarm bells flying, people calling for the poster's head. Happens on this very board even.
Like I said, there is some boned up thinking out there. Do you disagree?
