Nudity is one of the last great taboos, particularly in the United States. Whereas it's OK to show violence, blood, and to a certain extent "hate speech" on TV, a tiny bit of nudity will cause an outright scandal. Just ask [[Wardrobe Malfunction|Janet Jackson and her "nip slip"]], which got more attention then the show she was putting on at the time, despite its sexually suggestive content that some say bordered on sexual assault by her co-star. |

** If a character disrobes at a beach and neither a sign clearly saying "Nude Beach" nor other nude people are visible, it will turn out that it is not, in fact, a nude beach. The character either went to the wrong beach, was misinformed (maybe it ''used'' to be a nude beach), or just assumed it was a nude beach (most likely because they're tourists who think all the beaches in whatever country they're in are clothing-optional, or because they're from a country where (in the writers' imaginations) all the beaches ''are'' clothing optional). Although, again, some [[Truth in Television]] to this, as the United States is almost unique<ref>The only other similar country is China</ref> without even a single legally protected clothing optional beach. Every Nude Beach in the US is instead politely ignored by the local authorities, and not actually legally protected. |
