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 (Charlotte Ross) 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.

I hope they dunked her to see if she was a witch while they were at it.

I think it really shows they're running out of things to be offended by. They honestly had to go 5 years back to come up with this bullchit lawsuit because there's nothing entertainment wise that they have the ability to lawfully denounce anymore. So if they're so useless maybe it's time the FCC disbanded.

agreed, if cable shows can show smut and filth then why cant the open channels shows smut and filth as well?

Seems only fair.

I think we are letting the few dictate to the masses. There seems to be almost no boundry for the amount of violence you can show, but you let somebody get a peek at a naked body and all hell breaks loose.

In the Land of the Free you cant see a chicks arse, or saggy ol black titty on TV.

In Germany you get to see boobies in commercials. Oh you can also buy beer and hard liquor as long as a store is open. Drive fast on the Autobahn. Shoot off fireworks on NYE. You can buy beer in MickyDs and at the theater. You can sip a beer on your way home on a bus or subway.

Here though we have guns, we should take those above rights as well.

They get fined for showing fanservice?

Isn't NYPD a late night drama?

See now this is one reason why I'd be willing to accept a change from the republican leadership.

Things are starting to move too far to the right.

I've seen the clip. Its neither smut nor filth. It does nothing more then depict a slice of reality.

I've seen National Geographic episodes the showed more smut and filth then this.

This country REALLY needs to get over its hangups on the human body

The Pioneer Plaque that was attached to the Pioneer spacecraft was designed by Carl Sagan. On the plaque he ad the likenesses of 2 humans, one male and one female, standing stark naked with the male's hand raised in a peaceful greeting. NASA approved the design and launched the spacecraft. Following the announcement of the plaque design NASA received a multitude of angry letter from people who thought NASA had sent something 'nasty' and 'inappropriate' into space.

Here in Oz we piss ourselves laughing at the things we see blurred out by the American media.
On one episode of Survivor China they actually blurred out the lower butt cheeks protruding from the shorts of some girl in the tribe for crying out loud!
