"A Photoshopped Response Sticks Up For China's Plunging Necklines"

RENEE MONTAGNE, HOST:

This after the country's popular drama "The Empress Of China" was yanked from the airwaves briefly so sensors could cover up the low-cut bodices of the characters. The deeply cut gowns were apparently authentic to fashions of the seventh century, leaving outraged viewers, though, in the 21st. It's MORNING EDITION.
