It just shows that we in the west are not the only ones that are interested in pornography.
Sex isn't the answer.
Sex is the question.
Yes is the answer.

Re: this would be funny if it happened in the us
Actually, SM, from my understanding, the US has some of the worst hangups about sex. As I understand it, Europe, Africa, and Asia look at us a lot like, "What the hell's YOUR problem?" when it comes to sexual issues.
I'm not sure that applies universally, but it would make sense, given our Puritanical upbringing as a country.

Re: this would be funny if it happened in the us
My father and I agree on very little, but on this particular issue, he and I are in 100% agreement:
If the kid was old enough to understand what he was seeing, then it was high time he saw it.
Schools are always annoyed when kids try learning stuff outside the curriculum.

Second... wait, third.
And yeah, the UK certainly doesn't worry so much about sexual issues. At the very least, they don't around these parts.
