Speak for yourselves, much of Europe doesn't have those hang-ups, thankfully. Nor does the UK, at least to that extent. I doubt The Sun would have stayed Britain's best selling newspaper half as long without the page three girls...

I think my favourite Roger Moore role outside of Bond was in The Cannonball Run, where he played "the guy who looks like Roger Moore".

Yes, that is exactly what they were going for story-wise, and I reacted the way I did because I assumed it would have been obvious to anyone who had actually been keeping up with the story. I foolishly assumed that anyone interested enough to be discussing the developments would be following them overall, but apparently I was mistaken in that. If you were aware of why Wally wasn't initially remembered by the Titans, though, why would you assume that a scene between Barry and Jay playing out almost exactly the same way was simply due to "poor dialogue planning"? Wally was trapped in the Speed Force until he managed to physically connect with Barry, someone he had a strong emotional bond with, and even having returned to Earth, he was then forgotten by the Titans until, again, he made a connection with them. Jay attempted to make a similar connection with Barry in order to return, but was unable to. He failed to stabilize because Barry couldn't remember him. The inference was that the bond between Barry and Jay was not strong enough. Presumably, the only one who can successfully free the JSA is Johnny Thunder.

Was I the only one who actually read Rebirth?

The Rebirth one-shot established that in the altered timeline, nobody remembers the JSA. It was implied that Johnny Thunder, the only one still around and now regarded as a senile old man, sent them somewhere for their own protection.
