Thank goodness someone cares about our children and families.

CBS thumbs nose at rules with '9/11'

"9/11," which will be shown in prime time, contains a tremendous amount of hard-core profanity. CBS has stated it has not, and will not, make any cuts in the amount and degree of profanity.

CBS will ignore the law. The network is suing the FCC over the indecency law, saying it should be able to show whatever it desires whenever it desires. CBS wants no limits.

This is a test case to see how far CBS can go. If there is no outpouring of complaints from the public, it will go further the next time.

The profanity is so bad that CBS has warned affiliates that they could be subject to huge fines. The FCC says it will fine not only the networks, but also affiliates if the law is violated.

Under the new Broadcast Decency Act the $325,000 per incident could run into millions of dollars not only for the network but also for local affiliates.

CBS could very easily bleep out the profanity, but it refuses. The goal of CBS is to be able to show whatever it wants at any time.

The network wants no restraints on its programming. If it is allowed to get away with this, it will simply air even more profanity in the future.

This isn't an issue of censorship. It's an issue of responsibility to the public.

Donald E. Wildmon is founder and chairman of the American Family Association.

Donald E Wildmon needs to perform autointercourse, then consume feces and expire.

What is this? I've been busy and out of the media loop.

Is this the first case of the 9/11 card being played to increase liberty?

Pangloss62 · 09-08-2006, 02:02 PM

They made a documentary/movie called 9/11 and it features a lot of dialouge from first responders, probably stuff like "Holy living fuck! A plane went into one of the fucking towers!!" Or "Jesus H. Fucking Christ in A Chicken Basket!!! A plane went into the tower!!!"

Shit like that.

Some people think it's in poor taste.

Indeed. Soon Katie Couric will be self-pleasuring herself on camera with a big CBS dildo. Like Wildmon said:

"If it is allowed to get away with this, it will simply air even more profanity in the future."

If nobody defined "bad words" as "bad" then that would also solve the problem.

I thought the big issue not too long ago was too much censorship. Even people who were offended by that little SB halftime slip were told to shove it and stop being such prudes. Now everyone is worried that CBS wants to show more? So what, "just don't let your kids watch it" as the argument has always been before.

Prudes:p

Nope. You get your seventh level of irony when you master pastiche, the blank-faced (a.k.a., upper-Midwestern) irony.
6th level irony does allow you to cast 'Smite Dillhole' an unlimited number of times per day, though.

Happy Monkey · 09-08-2006, 02:26 PM

Yay CBS.

This is a test case to see how far CBS can go. If there is no outpouring of complaints from the public, it will go further the next time.

Is there some way to register "uncomplaints" with the FCC to counter AFA campaigns?

Go CBS! Good to see them standing up to the puritanical FCC.

But I'm still not going to watch what will almost certainly be a crappy made for TV movie.

Flint · 09-08-2006, 02:33 PM

@rkzenrage: Dude, that's, like, the second time I've seen you do that.
We agree on alot of shit, apparently, but I just get there and say it before you have a chance!

It's funny - didn't Howard Stern work for CBS, and didn't they refuse to support his first amendment rights?
