Title: Buttocks ? Really ? Post by: Ironwood on January 26, 2008, 12:38:27 PM Are we Scared of Asses now ? (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7210826.stm)
If I say that's ridiculous, am I just being 'European' ? Title: Re: Buttocks ? Really ? Post by: Abagadro on January 26, 2008, 12:58:27 PM No, it is ridiculous. The FCC has been hijacked by the same fundy brigade that has taken over much of the Executive Branch and there is a nice astroturf organization called the Parent's Television Council that gins up complaints.
Title: Re: Buttocks ? Really ? Post by: Phildo on January 26, 2008, 04:35:41 PM I blame this on the Parents Television Council.
Title: Re: Buttocks ? Really ? Post by: IainC on January 26, 2008, 06:18:36 PM This is from a show that aired in 2003. Why is it getting slapped down now?
Title: Re: Buttocks ? Really ? Post by: Merusk on January 26, 2008, 07:42:45 PM I've more objections to seeing Dennis Franz's ass than any female's. Yay for the FCC.

Jews love ass. Title: Re: Buttocks ? Really ? Post by: Llava on January 26, 2008, 07:46:18 PM This makes complete sense.
I mean, sure, it's just one female's ass on the air now, but it's a slippery slope. First it's just a hint of buttocks, and the next thing you know your kids are watching midgets wearing nun habits in hardcore double-penetration S&M porn on the Disney Channel at two in the afternoon and there's not a DAMN thing you can do about it. Title: Re: Buttocks ? Really ? Post by: Lantyssa on January 26, 2008, 08:03:29 PM Turn off the TV?
Title: Re: Buttocks ? Really ? Post by: Merusk on January 26, 2008, 08:06:24 PM Turn off the TV? What are you, some kind of commie? Title: Re: Buttocks ? Really ? Post by: NowhereMan on January 27, 2008, 04:30:47 PM I tried to turn off my television and jackbooted FOX thugs burst in and started beating me with truncheons.
I can only assume that if I'd been in the US and had access to FOX it would have been even worse and probably have involved tasers/guns. Title: Re: Buttocks ? Really ?

It's Rupert's policy. Title: Re: Buttocks ? Really ? Post by: Nevermore on January 28, 2008, 07:30:55 AM Turn off the TV? And turn off the advertising? Are you insane? :ye_gods: Title: Re: Buttocks ?

Title: Re: Buttocks ? Really ? Post by: DarkDryad on January 28, 2008, 02:06:02 PM Meanwhile you can still get soft core porn on FX by catching the continued exploits of Sean and Christian our resident favorite plastic surgeons... Damn I love that show.
Title: Re: Buttocks ? Really ? Post by: Mazakiel on February 21, 2008, 06:59:49 AM As an update, the appeal was declined recently, and they have to pay up by today on the majority of the fines.
http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/CA6533658.html?industryid=47171 Quote ...the FCC concluded Tuesday again that "the depiction of an adult woman’s naked buttocks was sufficiently graphic and explicit to support an indecency finding." The FCC continued: "She is not wearing a g-string or other clothing, nor are the shots of her buttocks pixillated or obscured. Thus, the material is sufficiently graphic and explicit to support an indecency finding. Although the partial views of her naked breast from behind and from the side are not sufficiently graphic and explicit in and of themselves to support an indecency finding, they also add somewhat to the first factor’s weight here." "In context and on balance," the FCC concluded, "the graphic, repeated, pandering, titillating and shocking nature of the scene’s visual depiction of a woman’s naked buttocks warrant a finding that it is patently offensive under contemporary community standards for the broadcast medium, notwithstanding any artistic or social merit and the presence of a parental advisory and rating. Therefore, it is actionably indecent." What a crock of shit. Title: Re: Buttocks ? Really ? Post by: Engels on February 21, 2008, 08:22:16 AM I just don't get it. Where do these people get that these scenes were shocking or titilating? I'm a big fan of NYPD Blue, and yes, it was nearly a joke how often they'd make an excuse to show ass. However, it was always in the context of an intimate and often tender moment between main characters.
It may have been titilating. So what? Shocking? Only to these maladjusted perverts. Pandering? Pandering to who? Porn starved morons too stupid to find porn on the internet? Oh, right, that'd be the FCC. Title: Re: Buttocks ? Really ? Post by: Nebu on February 21, 2008, 08:42:09 AM American television cracks me up. You can show people getting killed thousands of different ways. Show a nipple or an animal getting hurt and it's mass hysteria. It's messed up.

Different strokes, and all that. Title: Re: Buttocks ? Really ? Post by: Sky on February 21, 2008, 09:19:07 AM American television cracks me up.

Title: Re: Buttocks ? Really ? Post by: Yegolev on February 21, 2008, 02:02:02 PM Would I be paid in pounds?
Title: Re: Buttocks ? Really ? Post by: WayAbvPar on February 21, 2008, 02:04:29 PM I would rather be paid in pints, if it's all the same.
Title: Re: Buttocks ? Really ? Post by: Lantyssa on February 21, 2008, 03:39:43 PM We can form the Pounds and Pints Party!
Title: Re: Buttocks ? Really ? Post by: Righ on February 21, 2008, 08:15:24 PM Actually, that's about right. You get wonderfully drunk and wake up in a barracks bunk with a shilling in your pocket.

Title: Re: Buttocks ? Really ? Post by: Sky on February 22, 2008, 06:38:44 AM Yeah! We got us representation for our taxation now. Just look at how legislators reflect almost exactly the public opinion polls and look how highly governmental bodies are rated in satisfaction.
