FCC INDECENCY LUNACY CONTINUES

Remember the naughty opening ceremony for the Olympics? Well, the Federal Communications Commission does, and they're looking around to see if they can bust some heads over it...FOUR MONTHS LATER!!!

From the Washington Post courtesy of Eschaton:

In response to one or more indecency complaints, the Federal Communications Commission has asked NBC to send it tapes of its coverage of the Summer Olympics Opening Ceremonies in Athens, the network confirmed late yesterday.

But on the day of the Opening Ceremonies back in August -- about six months after Janet Jackson bared her breast during CBS's broadcast of the Super Bowl -- NBC took some questions from sports reporters who were on the scene. These were guys who apparently don't go to museums much and had watched the dress rehearsal and seen performers representing classical Greek statues and mythological gods and goddesses in the various states of undress that were so fashionable in days gone by. They demanded to know whether NBC intended to subject the flower of American youth, watching back at home, to such a wanton display of Greekness.

The article doesn't really say how many complaints it took to prompt this investigation, but given the way the FCC seems to be working these days, my best bet is that something like three or four people were offended.
