They've always been out of touch, if you think about it. We've been fed and led since film and television were invented.

I mean, do you really think the average American would have been scandalized over the sight of a pregnant woman on television .. at the height of the Baby Boom (1950s, as in "I Love Lucy") when pregnant women were everywhere and pretty much de rigeur? Come on, think about it, who on earth would be offended at the sight of pregnant, blonde or red-headed white ladies?

Just the beginning of a thought I thought I'd throw out for to see if anyone else could think of anything similar.

Oh, and the creepiness that are Shirley Temple movies. And what buddy is talking about in "Anything Goes".
