I didn't follow this thread from beginning, but I got curious about this 
thing. Why would there be any problem airing Eva as it is? It is clearly 
seen that it's contents it aimed for mature audience and even if it was 
aimed for younger audience it has less nudity than average shampoo ad. Is 
nudity some sort of taboo in America? It make's you think so when you 
consider for example Eyes Wide Shut. In any case I think censoring some 
movie or TV series is like drawing black boxes to some renaissance 
painting. Even if the scenes are not important (and mostly they are in 
eva) it is matter of principle.
