Differences in movie/tv ratings between the EU and the US and other countries

[The_J]

Guess it needs a further clarification: In German free TV you can't show porn. And since many people don't know the difference between porn and erotic films: Porn has genitalia, erotic films not (at least the classification here says that).
So no genitalia on the TV (to be precise: Genitalia, where you can see that the person is sexually aroused; pure nudism is okay), but nipples, and a naked moving pair in a bed (or elsewhere) are okay.
-> next question: What do you mean with uncensored? Uncensored breasts, or everything?

That's actually pretty much how it works classification-wise here.

Everything. Sex, drugs, violence and language are allowed on basic cable here after midnight.

I was a bit surprised that Catalan TV shows explicit sex and nipples in some original production TV movies that they emit at 22:30 or so.

Basic cable isn't under any regulation except what the network execs think advertisers will tolerate. It's not a matter of things being "allowed" as such. Anyone with a cable channel could show tits and cussing at 7:00 PM If they wanted to, but ggood luck finding someone to sponsor that.

I don't think that's true random but I'll have to do more research.
