2008_02_26_fox.jpgThe FCC is fining Fox TV affiliates $7,000 for showing a naked bachelor party scene on some horrible reality show that nobody watched … but they are only fining stations that somebody complained to. (That’s 13 out of 169 in the network, by the way.) Apparently, it’s okay to broadcast whatever you like as long as you never open your mail. (reuters.com)

    $7,000 for this kind of press is pretty smart…

    @blakeley: That’s $7,000 a piece. And that’s the local affiliates, not the big, rich network.

    Can we just get rid of every part of the FCC that isn’t good for America’s image as a Nation? They already flub on the ‘truth in advertising’ allowing all that damn ‘not FDA approved’ bullshit slip by, and they obviously aren’t very mature when it comes to sexuality, let’s just fire them all now and get it over with.
