WASHINGTON, Sat Jan 26, 04:17 AM
===================================
The Federal Communications Commission has proposed a $1.4 million fine against 52 ABC Television Network stations over a 2003 broadcast of cop drama NYPD Blue.
The fine is for a scene where a boy surprises a woman as she prepares to take a shower. The scene depicted "multiple, close-up views" of the woman's "nude buttocks" according to an agency order issued late Friday.
ABC is owned by the Walt Disney Co. The fines were issued against 52 stations either owned by or affiliated with the network.
FCC's definition of indecent content requires that the broadcast "depicts or describes sexual or excretory activities" in a "patently offensive way" and is aired between the hours of 6 a.m. and 10 p.m.
The agency said the show was indecent because "it depicts sexual organs and excretory organs — specifically an adult woman's buttocks."
The agency rejected the network's argument that "the buttocks are not a sexual organ."

Is this bullshit or what. First the ass is no sexual organ and two, why should they get 1.2 mill since US the viewer are the "victims" of such gross misconduct? I think they should start handing out fines collected. Let them pay the fucking taxes and deficit since they bank so much off offending us, the people at home watching the shows. Not to mention the commercial income and money spent on such products. Fuck the network and fuck the FCC...:angry:
