I most certainly have and keep in mind I do agree with one of piratehunter's points. Nudity should be tasteful and done in a way that actually contributes to the story being told. Nudity for the sole purpose of exposing body parts of select celebs isn't doing it "right" because it's not necessarily part of the story being told (unless the story being told is about select celebs showing body parts).

Halle Berry's topless scene in Swordfish is the perfect example. She could have worn a bikini top and that scene would have worked equally well. Someone just wanted to get Halle's bare breasts in a mainstream movie and Swordfish was that movie.

There are many adults who don't like nudity or profanity or vulgarity in movies they watch. I know some and we've heard about others in the media (people seeking out DVD players that censor movies, etc).

Peace...
