The Fascist Communications Commission (FCC)

All hail the F.C.C.

Have you ever seen any of the "CSI" programs? They air when many children are still awake. It's good, clean family entertainment.

Graphic images, including close-ups of corpses with gunshot wounds, autopsies, and other bloody injuries, are common. Other graphic scenes have depicted cannibalism, a fully nude female corpse, and mutilated victims of a deranged killer. Sexual situations are extremely graphic. In the past, scenes included a man with a biting fetish, men receiving S&M beatings from a dominatrix in a sex club, a grown man with a sexual desire to dress like and be treated as an infant, and a woman making a sex video for her 15-year-old stepson. A recent episode included footage of a dead child and a teenaged girl being beaten during a botched exorcism. [parentstv.org]

Sounds positively indecent, doesn't it?

Well, not according to the F.C.C. which turns its back on violence and hatred, but levies huge fines for simple human nudity. The government agency showed that it is completely clueless and out of control when it levied a $1.43 million dollar fine against ABC for showing a woman's nude backside in a 2003 episode of "NYPD Blue".

"We find that the programming at issue is within the scope of our indecency definition because it depicts sexual organs and excretory organs -- specifically an adult woman's buttocks," the FCC wrote. "Although ABC argues, without citing any authority, that the buttocks are not a sexual organ, we reject this argument, which runs counter to both case law and common sense."

The commission levied the maximum fine it could at the time against ABC. It then multiplied the $27,500 fine by the 52 ABC stations that aired the episode during Central Standard Time and Mountain Standard Time.

I really don't have words sufficient to express how horrified I am by this completely absurd and dangerous action, which not only defies basic logic, but is contrary to any freedoms supposedly guaranteed by the Constitution. This is far too much power for any government agency to have, legislating a twisted version of morality that encourages murder and mayhem, and denies normal and healthy human sexuality. And the F. C. C. has the audacity to claim that its action is justified by "common sense"!

The Fascists and the Nazis used censorship and violence to achieve their goals. You still think it can't happen in America?
