Hi,
I think your Signature comment sums it up well "Ambiguity, thy name is English"

>>Hi,
>>A picture of a person being burnt alive may upset some.

>As long as there's no sex, it's OK for TV.

>I was just nurturing one of my pet peeves - the use of word "graphic" to mean something totally unrelated to graphics. Unless we get to put a disclaimer on our software "Warning: user interface is graphic. User's discretion is presently being contacted by our advisers".

>Is there a nice euphemism for "euphemism"?
>
>>>>Here is a nice slideshow from some news events of the year. Caution a couple of graphic images.
>>>>http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16094272/
>>>
>>>Mmmm... graphic? Not in any sense of the word that I know of:
>>>
>>>- they were ALL graphic mode, none in character mode
>>>- they were all in color, none in black/white
>>>- there were no visible genitalia on them
>>>
>>>So, viewers don't really need to find their their discretion and ask it whether it received advice.
