The Federal Communications Commission has asked for a tape of NBC's broadcast of the opening ceremony of the Summer Olympics after it received at least one indecency complaint. The Aug. 13 tape-delayed broadcast, featuring the history of Athens and Greece, also included male performers representing ancient Greek Kouroi, life-size stone figures of naked young men dating to the sixth century B.C. It wasn't clear whether the images were broadcast. (Wolfgang Rattay/Reuters)

I think the moron who sent in the complaint should be shackled uponwhich each finger nail shall be removed with rusty pliers, then toenails - one by one.

Then hang them up using giant hooks pierced deep into the flesh of their backs. Mount them on the back of a truck and drive them across country and let the citizens spit and laugh at them.

At the end of the trip, he/she should be confined to a padded cell and forced to watch Barbara Streisand movies until they scratch their eyes out.

But that's just me.

Wow, a little violent there ... and besides, that would hurt the cause - they'd be able to rally all their mentally-deranged fundamentalist Christian friends behind them due to their modern crucifiction ... they'd get the blacks on their side too due to the James Byrd reference, and they already have the White House on their side ...


:rolleyes:

A related article:


According to a new FCC estimate obtained by Mediaweek, nearly all indecency complaints in 2003—99.8 percent—were filed by the Parents Television Council, an activist group.

Seems since the Bush administration the FCC is largely a tool for these groups.

Welcome to "Red America" (that's for you Monster 8V) ;)

Only for 50% of the population.

There's an entire generation of Xiao Wangzi graduating form college in a few years -- could make for a very selfish, self-centered, and arrogant nation... we should be very well-matched for the upcoming global conflict.
