Zell Miller (D?) proposes pay-per-viewer fines ($0.25) for TV indecency
Sen. Zell Miller (Democrat?) wants to fine TV and radio broadcasters a quarter for every viewer or listener they have when they air indecent programming.

The Georgia Democrat's proposal in response to the racy Super Bowl halftime show last month is far tougher than other approaches being floated in Congress.

Had it been in place, Viacom, CBS and the offending artists could have been fined up to $22.5 million based on the estimated 90 million people watching when singer Justin Timberlake exposed Janet Jackson's right breast.

3. So Who's Going to Listen to Ol' Zig-Zag Zell?
His "fellow" Democrats loathe him, the Repukes pat him on the head and snicker at him behind his back. He just needs to get his sorry a** back to Young Harris, Georgia, and count his ill-gotten money.

Zell must be one of those Democrats from the Reconstuction Era who mysteriously rose from a deep sleep to try to out-GOP the GOP.

8. Who said he's a Democrat?
Edited on Tue Mar-02-04 10:42 PM by HypnoToad
He's a republican shill and a total smeghead.

What's he going to say to an internet tax for e-mails to help curb spam, which is just as indecent if not more so? Bantering back and forth between some mindless blather about freedom with the wretched evils of horrid, awful taxes... :eyes:

He can go sit on his finger and spin on it. That might be hard to do though... He should try *'s finger instead.

Edited: teensy bit of profanity with something that can be aired on TV... Well, British TV, but it's still TV... better TV too!

9. Zell very fragile. Zell no like bad words.
Bad words make Zell afraid. Make Zell cry.

People do bad things must pay money. Then Zell feel better.

Too many bad people. Zell not like them.

Poor Zell.
