Fox v/s the FCC
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=638&ncid=579&e=3&u=/nm/20041203/en_nm/media_indecency_fox_dc

"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Fox Broadcasting Co. and 155 Fox televisions stations on Friday urged U.S. communications regulators to rescind their proposed $1.18 million fine for airing allegedly indecent content on the "Married by America" show. "

"The FCC said scenes in the show -- such as a topless woman straddling a man, whipped cream being licked off one woman's bare chest and an underwear-clad man being spanked by two topless female strippers -- were sufficiently graphic and explicit to be deemed indecent."


So a 1/2 second flash of a breast that is quickly covered is a threat to morality and the end of society as we know it, but all these 'Reality' dating shows and the wfie swapping shows are good family television? :wtf:

1. FCC wants to fine Faux?
:wtf:

At least if they're going to enforce "indecency" standards, they're being consistent about it...
