note: You can add something like...

The agency later ruled that the f-word can violate indecency rules even when not used to describe sex. However, there was appropriately no fine in that awards-show case. Nor should there be one in this case. The inoffensive use of the word in the lyrics of an old song does not warrant agency action.

6. Here what we do....... Just way to them "If all of the adult children

of "The Parents Television Council" go down to the draftboard and sign up to go to Iraq, WE'LL pay the fine for The Who. Until then expect a lot friction."

10. Thank you (nt)

26. how bout making Cheney pay for his kind words in the senate?

and to top it off, saying on 'meet the press' he felt better for having said what he did-

Arrogance and rudeness is not my idea of 'decencey'=
But then, Clinton had the 'class' to at least offer an apology for his actions- something 'righteous...cough....compassionate ..... republicans seem incapable of doing'-

i'd rather hear the Who sing thier song- then have the Vice President not only rebuff an effort to 'reconcile' after a heated debate, but tell the person offering the hand of peace- "go fuck yourself"- on the floor of the US Senate, with 'visitors' present- in front of other 'law-makers'-

Where is the outrage about that????????

12. Fuck them.

Fuckety fuckety fuck fuck fuck.

13. I noticed

its only been like a year that they've been bleeping this out on the radio, before they used to just play it..

[PDittie]

17. Exactly

It's only been an FCC violation for about twenty years.

[Hissyspit]

14. I heard Daltrey sing that line a billion times on the radio as a teenager.

How ridiculous. Fuck the Dickheads Television Council.

[Inland]

28. They must have cut it, but I really don't remember...... nt

[ConfuZed]

15. I guess they forgot about Saving Private Ryan already....

Actually I don't remember them saying a damn thing

[Eric J in MN]

23. The FCC eventually ruled that stations COULD have played

"Saving Private Ryan" before 10 PM because of it's redeeeming qualities.

16. The Parents Television Council can blow me

18. Didn't they watch Snoop Doggy Thing at Live 8, then?

muthafucka?

[Eric J in MN]

24. This is about ABC. Was Snoop shown on ABC without bleeping?

MTV and VH1 are cable channels, not covered by FCC rules.

[mr blur]

30. Sorry, dunno. I saw it on the BBC.

I forget that they bleep things out over there.

[PDittie]

19. What are they going to say about Bryan Adams

who sings, at the end of Summer of '69:

"Me and my baby were 69..."

God, we could sure use the spirit of Frank Zappa right now.

[sshan2525]

20. Fuck Them.................

The song's been around since 1978 for god's sake. Find something important to worry about.

[Eric J in MN]

31. In a sense this is trivial, but I don't want to let the PTC run television

That is why I think we should push back with the non-complaint letters from:

25. Meanwhile, over a hundred thousand have died...

...in the American-led invasion and conquest of Iraq. Real bombs, not f-bombs.

We oughta fine someone.
