Help, I want to file a complaint on FOX's penetration shot with the FCC
Being the mother of two young children I was utterly disgusted at FOX News' inability to properly censor very explicit material. How they could take the time to blur our a boobie but still broadcast an erect penis going into a vagina, is beyond me. It either reeks of complicity or complacency. They should hear from any who saw the broadcast.

I need some assistance on filing out the FCC form, any help would be appreciated.

2. Thank you. Children were watching & now they are scarred.
My 6 year old niece asked for sex toys her birthday after seeing this vulgar display on Fox "News". WHERE WILL IT END? Fine FOXXX big time!

4. I do need help with this, even though plastic turkey and I might be on the
same page.

I fully intend on complaining my heart out. I don't let my young boys watch porn and Greta shouldn't be forcing it upon them.

10. We are. I am flip only because of this Janet Jackson ruling today...
but evidently the FCC has no jurisdiction. I wonder though if the community that complained about Janet will even bother with this since it comes from their hallowed FoXXX?

9. I think those are the company's choices.
Otherwise they'd be fined for Chapelle's Show (repeated use of n-word)

14. Why don't you call the media person over at the FCC
and see what she recommends?

18. Email to the FCC
Edited on Wed Jun-30-04 07:21 PM by patriotvoice
Ms. Kimball,

I write to you today regarding an EXTREMELY graphic image presented on
FOX News, which I found to be highly repulsive and offensive.

I wanted to communicate directly with you, given your position as News
Media Contact, and the general complaint email (as documented on the
FCCs site at http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/obscene.html).
Please feel free to forward my email to other appropriate parties and
to communicate directly back with me.


Specifically, please see the screen capture I have acquired:
(... URL already provided in the thread ...)

As you can see, FOX has correctly shielded viewers from the breast,
but failed to obscure the full penetration depicted underneath "Slut
chat." This flagrant disregard of public decency is repugnant and
disappointing. FOX, like all news media, has an obligation to shield
younger viewers from "smut" and "porno."

I urge you to seek penalties against FOX News network for this
outrage, using as precedent the FCCs recent fining of other
establishments.

On edit:
I'm not sending until I know it's not a Photoshop. Anyone actually see it?

19. Holy crap!
After seeing that screenshot I'd say Faux has a little explaining to do. That penetration shot should've been blurred out. I'm sure they did it to get hits on their site. But for some outfit that bills itself as a media outlet has an obligation to not show something like this on their site. I just wondered what would happen if Air America would've done that?

22. It looks like it is from the TV screen, not from the site
Is that right? Someone TIVO'ed the screen?

20. It's better to tell Fox first and demand that they take action, 4example
issue an apology. Inform them you will be communicating with your local Fox affiliate, where you saw the thing (if applicable), your ISP, and also the FCC. Do yourself a favor and tell some tough advocacy group like FAIR or somebody else who can get some publicity for this atrocity.
Good luck!

This looks suspiciously like a hoax....
