The Kaiser Family Foundation has just released a study on depictions and references to sex in television; they show that "70% of shows had some sexual content, averaging 5 sex scenes per hour." Jesus. No wonder my Tivo thinks I'm gay. You know, comparatively. But hold on: "The study counts as a sex scene talking about it, kissing and fondling, and intercourse when those are the emphasis of a scene." Well, if you count talking about it... I should be making a lot more money.
