I'm not sure whether the one country is more puritannical, or the other more degenerate, but I can't imagine that a US network would ever attempt what Channel 4, back home, are proposing:
The broadcaster - once led by Michael Grade, dubbed "pornographer in chief" by the Daily Mail - has commissioned a documentary about the UK's first "masturbate-a-thon" as part of a series of programmes dubbed "Wank week", MediaGuardian.co.uk can reveal.
In what must surely be one of the summer's more bizarre events, hundreds of people are expected to gather in a hall in central London on August 5 to pleasure themselves in aid of charity...
"Following on from the success of 'Penis week', we feel this is exactly the type of provocative and mischievous programming that Channel 4 should be covering in the 11pm slot. Masturbation is something many people do but not many people talk about," [a Channel 4 spokesman] told MediaGuardian.co.uk.
Clearly, any sarcastic comment I try to make is not going to do the original article justice.
