But also remember, Wright isn't from America, he is Canadian. And he is the one who said that violence is ok for a family show, but not nudity.

I am one of those who was completely taken aback by the full frontal nudity in COTG. One of the reasons is that I came to this party WAAAY late. After reading all the anti-oversexed Vala stuff, I just assumed this was a show that made it a point for people to keep their clothes on.
I mean, if we could have fully naked Sha're and Hathor raping Daniel (off screen), what was wrong with some silly Vala banter? That was one of the reasons I was suprised by the nudity.
In the SG1 realm, there is little to no cussing, the violence rarely involves a lot of blood or gore (rarely, not always). Thus, the full frontal nudity seemed incongruent and abrupt.
Now, had this been Battlestar Galactica or even Farscape, which makes it a point to deal with gory, bloody violence, cuss like there's no tomorrow (even if it is frak and frell) and show people knocking boots and naked whenever possible, then I would have figured, "eh, par for the course."
I just didn't expect it in SG1 because the show does present itself as a "family" show. I'd let my 10 year old watch SG1, I don't let him watch Battlestar, and he's seen a lot of Farscape, which is sort of in the middle of the two.
If TPTB want to re-cut and edit it, ok by me. Frankly, I thought the scene was a bit gratuitous.
And if you want to call Americans prudes about nudity, I guess that's probably accurate. FWIW, though, if I saw a naked person walking down the street I'd think she/he was mentally ill and would probably call the authorities to help the poor soul. If I saw someone carrying a severed head, I'd think he/she was a psychotic criminal and would be calling the police post haste.
