WITHOUT OBSCENE PROGRAMS, WHAT’S THE POINT OF WATCHING TV?

The U.S. Senate has passed the Broadcast Decency Enforcement Act by a 379-25 vote making it much more expensive to air “obscene or indecent” programs on television. For example, it’s now ten times as expensive to say “fuck” on TV, with the fine increasing from $32,500 to $325,000. This legislation also slapped a $550,000 fine against CBS for the horror of showing one human breast during the 2004 Super Bowl. (TVTechnology.com)
