Fox broadcasts obscenity!
Edited on Sun Jan-14-07 11:30 PM by oustemnow
From the Eagles game yesterday, Fox lingered on a shot of a blond wearing a
"F*ck the Eagles" shirt:

I say, give Murdoch a taste of the culture war he has worked so tirelessly to conflagrate. Report him to the FCC now!

1. I thought it
might be something on a Family Guy episode...

3. It was not!
And I'm angry that Family Guy was pre-empted tonight for a four hour (!) episode of 24! Plus, in LA anyway, the 60 Minutes episode with the Bush interview did not air!

9. I'm happily watching
Family Guy DVDs - commercial free and unedited.

14. It wasn't a four-hour episode of 24, only two-hour. Two more hours tomorrow night.
And while I like Family Guy a lot, I've also been following 24 since it first aired, in part because the star is the grandson of the fella in my avatar (Tommy Douglas).

12. That's what I thought, I just couldn't remember
the spelling of her name. The activist in me says, "Right on!" and the male in me says ... well, I'll spare you the sordid details.

17. You are correct. Unfortunately, the shirt is unreadable at normal speed.

19. Nuh-uh!
SO and I both watched it at normal speed, exchanged glances, and said simultaneously, "Did that shirt say what I think it said?" followed by, "Damn! I hope somebody got Tivo of that!"

It is totally readable if you were paying attention.

10. Where's the outrage, Fox News?
Go after Fox Sports like you would CBS, NBC, or ABC.

13. True enough, but the point is,
a hit to Murdoch's wallet, as insignificant as $500K might be, might either:

a) cause him to rethink things the next time he wants to spark a tempest-in-a-teapot culture war, or

b) compel him to fight the FCC regulations that he so valiantly cheerleaded for.

16. Better yet - Use Brent Bozo's organization (Parent's Television Council) to file the complaint
