19. The FCC has been stupid for years
And ever since the Janet Jackson incident, it has been completely unhinged. When I was growing up, if there was a National Geographic show about people who traditionally only wore belts or wore those odd penis sheaths and then called themselves dressed for the day, well, that was the way they lived and they were shown without shame. Who gets off on footage showing women with breasts stretched out to their knees or an endless parade of butts? But now, all that is made blurry, and making it blurry makes it look indecent when it never was before. It's like Jimmy Kimmel's "This Week in Unnecessary Censorship."

And if ever there was proof that a sound science education is a necessity, the FCC mistaking buttocks and breasts for either excretory or sexual organs is it. Idiots. Scholastic failures. Bob Jones graduates.
