How the heck did "Mile High" make it to TV screens here?

For those of you who don't know, "Mile High" is a TV "drama" on BBC America, featuring the staff on a European short-haul budget airline. I say "drama", because it is rated TV-MA, because it's on cable it shows topless women (without censorship), people getting drunk, people taking drugs, and all kind of debauchery. Oh, and one of the key characters is gay.

Ironically the show started out on Sky One in the UK - Sky is partially owned by Murdoch, and if TV standards were changed to that in force by Sky One (satellite TV in the UK has to abide by the same standards as the terrestrial TV stations do in the most part) then we'd be seeing more flesh on Fox.

Personally I find this kind of trash amusing. The show itself is so bad it's addictive... but heck why aren't the fundies up in arms about this show?

Why aren't other TV channels (ie. the non-pay ones) showing boobs and stuff?

(Yes I know cable TV isn't subject to the same standards of broadcast TV here so it's legal - and there's plenty of warnings, and it's coded TV-MA)

Mark.
