The F---ing FCC Sucks S--t!!
OK, that very language on television could get me in a lot of trouble. That's why I write for newspapers and not TV.
The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that the Federal Communications Commission indeed has the power to enforce broadcast television rules that prohibits naughty words from being uttered on TV, even if the use of those words has nothing to do with having sex (the F-word) or the act of producing excrement (the S-word).
So for example, if the producers of "Rules of Engagement" went up to the podium during the Emmys to accept the award for Best Comedy and uttered something like, "You members of the academy are so f-ing stupid for giving the award to such a s----y show," the network could be severely fined for each bad word, even though the producers clearly did not use the words in a sexual manner or in reference to human bodily functions.
So it's one more final victory for the Bush administration even though the guy hasn't been in office for three months. Funny how that works.
Those @#%^$#$%!! bastards!! (hey, this is the Internet, not television).
