Fox Porn, part 2

Just received this email from the FCC:

You are receiving this email in response to your inquiry to the FCC.

Good morning,

FCC is not permitted to censor or restrict the availability of non-broadcast programming shown over cable systems, even when the program in question may be offensive to some viewers.

Cable operators do not have the same restrictions on program content as regular television broadcast stations.

Information addressing broadcast journalism is being e-mailed for your review.

Regards,
FCC, CGB, Gettyburg PA

I would like to file a complaint against The Fox News Channel for showing the penetration of a vagina by a penis during the hours between 6 AM and 10 PM.

The incredibly offensive image was shown during "On The Record with Greta van Sustern" and "Your World with Neil Cavuto" on 6/29/04.

If I had children, they could have been watching during this time. Is there no decency in this world? I shudder to think of the fragile little minds which have been warped by Fox News.

Sincerely,

Oh well. Twas fun while it lasted.

why not send the screenshot to all of those who flipped out over Janet Jackson's nipple? Surely we can expect some outrage and hearings from them, right?

Good call. Sadly, I don't know anyone who gave a shit one way or the other about seeing Janet Jackson's flappy National Geographic tit.

However, if anyone out there knows anyone out there who WAS offended by said nippleage, please email said offendee this image with due haste.

Thank you.
