are our tv shows considered pornography?

The other day I was watching MTV and it was a rerun of Meet the Barkers and on this show its about a married couple and their life together.  Well with this episode they were doing a photo shoot for a new clothing line that the husband has created and wants to get it recognized and well known.  So the wife decides to help him out in creating this huge photo shoot with models, modeling off the clothing.  One of the models that they actually used was in playboy along with the wife used to be in playboy.  What they had one of these models do was basically taking pictures naked with just the logo of the brand fake tattooed all over her body.  If MTV didn’t do the blurs on the models nipples and other areas, every now and then while the she was moving positions this episode could have been viewed as pornography.  I think it is kind of funny things that shows can get away with by just putting blur spots on a persons private area or by having them hold themselves.

 

Technically thinking about it, I love the show “Sex and the City” but when listening to these lectures and what people consider pornography that show can really be considered in some senses porn.  Granted they never showed a full body shot of someone naked but you saw enough.  Not one episode would go buy without you seeing some naked body part, or even hear or see one of the characters having sex for that matter.  Even though they didn’t show the actions of sex because they would a lot of the times have sheets or blankets covering them the noises and the movements that were being made you knew they were having intercourse.  Why was this show not considered pornography then?
