FCC Fights To Maintain Indecency Policy 602
GovTechGuy writes "The FCC filed Thursday to appeal a recent court decision that struck down its policy of fining broadcasters for profanity or nudity shown on live television. The FCC's brief argues the court ruling would make it almost impossible to punish broadcasters that show nudity or profanity during hours when children are likely to be watching or listening."
do you know what happens if a kid sees a boob? (Score:3, Funny)
their minds are scarred and they are ruined for life, they enter a death spiral of drug use and prostitution. all it takes is one glance of a boob, and the fate of your child's life will change on the spot to one of apathy, laziness, fatalism, and moribund lack of emotional affect

the idea of bringing a boob to an innocent baby's mouth is obviously a severe injection of immorality into the family structure by people who have no consideration for a child's decency and psychological health. some people are just perverts, but why they can't do their perversions amongst themselves, why they have to drag an innocent darling child into their sleazy use of the human body by making a helpless infant suck on a boob... it really makes my blood boil at these decadent slime

Nobody wants to see a cock on their TV.
I beg to differ, Fox News has high ratings and that channel has a Lot of Complete Cocks on it.
Then we also have every public Show that has Tom Cruise and Mel Gibson...
It seems that Americans like seeing Cocks on TV.

We were watching the Super Bowl with our kids. And out popped Janet's nipple. Live, and unexpected. Parents who wanted to be "responsible" in preventing their children from seeing such things were caught totally by surprise. I think my kids will be OK, but it kinda puts a dent in that argument.
A responsible parent would have leaped up from the couch at that moment screaming "THAT VULGAR CUNT," whilst backhanding his wife.

The thing that gets me is the word "shit". Everyone says this word including fairly young children.
It's just goofy to ban it. It's a bodily function.
Think about the roots of our 'curse' words. They share a common denominator (for the most part), Germanic origins.
There has been a huge push by the 'enlightened' to view the latin (and tangentially, French) origins as 'pure' and the german origins as 'impure'. It's the same reason that a taboo was created with regard to ending sentences with prepositions, it was something not done in latin, but due to the germanic structure of English, some sentences do sound and appear better when ended with a preposition. We aren't speaking Latin (or French), so a lot of the rules are just appeals to tradition. A tradition started as a mild cultural cleansing.
But back on point, look at the 'curse' words and their entymological origins. It is very eye opening to see how a push for cleansing a culture became a social taboo.

If Gibson is a cock, then Cruise would be more like a penile sheath; Gibson can be crazy on his own, but Cruise seems to need a supporting crew of loonies.
