FCC getting out of hand?

Madmartagen · **FCC getting out of hand? -** 11-19-2004, 01:06 AM

Anyone notice the quick apologies the media and news are making whenever something remotely sexual, violent or for that matter 'entertaining' pops on the air by accident or on purpose? The latest incident involving Nicollette Sheridan and Terrell Owens on a Monday Night Football commercial. She drops her towel and jumps into his arms, but all you see is her back. ABC could get fined $32,500 for this. During Veterans Day, a bunch of stations decided not to aire Saving Private Ryan because they didnt want to be fined by the FCC. The following report was written by a dude named Danny on consumptionjunciton.com, and he brings up some scary news i havent even heard about, but i cant find anything about it on the internet yet. He says the FCC may be moving in on the internet AND premium cable tv. fuck that dudes.

The FCC Can Suck My Sweaty Italian Cock

Please, Don't Agitate Danny

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Poised on the brink of becoming a Nazi-like babysitter, ready to punish us ALL for fear of...dear god no...hearing or seeing something "dirty", the Federal Communications Commission is now seeking to expand its powers to encompass pay-for-cable television, satellite radio, and yes, even the internet. Once thought to be an untouchable fairyland of beastiality, amputee porn, beheading videos, and the home of the Holy Grail of Free Entertainment...Consumption Junction, the FCC seeks to wrap its slimy moral tentacles over it all and make it "safe" and "wholesome". Fuck that shit. The REASON I frequent the internet and THIS site is to get my daily dose of sick and perverted material. Without that comforting dose of perversion, I fear my sanity would slowly unravel and the only thing that would prevent me from walking into a Burger Shack armed with a 12 gauge is the comforting thought that sites like THIS exist unhindered by censorship.

The national tone is becoming completely out of wack ever since Janet Jackson unleashed her 40 year old wrinkled raisinette onto the world at large during the StuporBowl. But personally, I don't feel the blame should land squarely on Janet's shoulders. No, the man (and I use that term loosely) who should be strung up and sodomized by the entire Carolina Panter's defense line-up is Justin Timberlake. If it wasn't for him, that son-of-a-bitch, if not for him and his desire to unleash Janet's chocolate flapjack to the world at large...then the FCC would still be a mockery of what it has become today. Ever since then, it seems that our very moral standings have reversed back to the days of the Puritans. One has to only listen to talk radio, where fear of even slipping up has gripped once mighty speakers of freedom with the insane urge to curb their tounges. All it takes is ONE fucking complaint...one little complaint and the FCC will investigate. Take for instance, the Veteran's Day debacle over "Saving Private Ryan".

"Saving Private Ryan"...how the fuck can anyone consider this truly patriotic and inspiring film about the sacrifice our very own troops made during D-Day? Well, one pussy ass did. And because of that person, a large number of ABC affiliates refused to play an uncut version of the film. It boggles the mind. Fuck, even PBS...the one station I wouldn't watch even if every other station dropped off the face of the earth and the only option for television entertainment was PBS or Lifetime? Damn right, I'd be watching Golden Girls on Lifetime. But even PBS had to heavily censor a documentary on a Puerto Rican poet for fear of the FCC cracking down on them. So all 14 of PBS's viewers had to go without hearing a few innocent expletives.

But soon the fight for freedom of speech and expression may be all for naught. A large majority of Republicans AND Democrats alike now are pushing for a more aggressive approach towards "cleaning" up what we read, what we see, and what we hear. I'm not going to sit here and try to put the blame on our current President and his administration, for that will only bring about more bullshit from their supporters. No, I blame YOU. I blame the majority of you fucks who sit back and let this type of censorship happen without batting an eye or getting in contact with your state's Congressmen and Senators and asking them "Why?". I don't blame the Moral Majority, NOR do I blame the fanatical Christian Right. I blame US. I blame the sick fucks and perverted freaks who just sit there and allow the afore-mentioned to fuck us right in the ass without so much as a handshake or lube.

What can we do? I certainly don't have the answers, people. I've tried, believe me, I've tried but my letters and phonecalls to my Congressmen go unanswered. And now with Conservative Republicans and the Christian Right dominating both State and Federal government, MY right to watch an amputee midget sucking a retarded donkey's cock will soon go the way of the dodo.

Furiously downloading as much fucked up porn as I can before it's too late,

American politics - especially the Republican party - has been hijacked by religious zealots, expect more censorship in the near future.

As someone who leans a little right of center, I'm sad to say this is true. This is why Howard Stern is going to satellite radio. The FCC does not currently regulate this medium. If they attempt to regulate satellite radio or tv, cable, or the internet, then people will rise up. Until then, not enough people will act. I wrote both of my senators to express my disgust over the FCC. Curiously enough I received a vague response 5+ months after I complained and coincidentally after her seat was secure after being re-elected. Being that she (Barbara Mikulski) is a liberal, I was a little surprised at her position.

Mr. Thomas ***

***, Maryland 21043-3485

Dear Mr. ***:

Thank you for contacting me about the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) and the issue of indecency on broadcast television and radio. It's good
to hear from you.

I want you to know that I unconditionally support the First Amendment
and stand against efforts to restrict the free exchange of ideas that our nation
is based on.

However, when it comes to the use of publicly owned airwaves, television
and radio stations must make efforts to protect children from indecent and
profane material.

I understand concerns about how actions by the FCC might restrict free
speech. That's why I supported a narrow and limited amendment that increases
the maximum fine that the FCC can levy from $27,500 to $275,000. This amendment
also guides the FCC as they levy fines. It requires them to take in
consideration several factors, including whether the indecency was on a scripted
or unscripted show, whether it was live or recorded, whether a time delay device
was in use, or whether the show was intended for families or children, among
other criteria. These criteria help balance free speech concerns with the
public interest.

You can be certain that I will be watching closely as the FCC address
indecency on the public airwaves. I also want you to know that I will keep your
views in mind should any other legislation concerning the FCC come before the
Senate in the future.

Thanks again for getting in touch with me. Please let me know if I can
be of any assistance to you again in the future.

Sincerely,

Barbara A. Mikulski
United States Senator

P.S. If I can be of any further assistance in the future, please visit my
website at [url="http://mikulski.senate.gov"]http://mikulski.senate.gov[/url] or call my Washington office at
202-224-4654.

there has to be limits on public radio or TV. What those limits are is up for discussion. Howard Stren should be censored. ( I do listen to him) Limits have to be there. Now if it is a pay service then its no holds barred

FREEDOM OF SPEECH... just watch what you say...

I think there are limits to what should or shoudn't be on tv/radio, obviously hard-core porn shoudn't air in the evening on regular cable... but ever since JJ's boobie made a guest appearence at the super-bowl, it's been lock-down...
