Fairly silly conversation. The nudity was only in the American version of the movie; in the Hong Kong version, the women were fully dressed.

Also, I'm pretty sure that Europeans would be upset if there were a bunch of naked women sitting at a table packaging enormous amounts of cocaine at a school board meeting, especially if the tv decided to show this by itself.
Although I might be wrong, seeing as Denmark had legal distribution of child pornography for a decade, with people arguing in Parliament that the sacrifice of those few children possibly saved many others from being molested.

A good* documentary on that is "Candy Film - Da børneporno var lovlig" (2016)
