Why aren’t comedians allowed to be as offensive on TV as the Doug Anthony Allstars once were? As hysteria builds around the sexualisation of society, Tim Ferguson thinks society has always been sexy and asks since when has sexualising been a bad thing. In a world that looks to radio shock jocks for pointers on morality, Tim Ferguson wonders how Generation X shrugged off slacking for the conservatism they once mocked. And how did it happen so soon?
