Reading over the morning papers online, I came across a WSJ story about the FCC’s five-year-long crusade to fine ABC and some of its affiliates over an episode of NYPD Blue for showing a woman’s butt onscreen before 10 p.m. Takeaway line:
“Although ABC argues, without citing any authority, that the buttocks are not a sexual organ, we reject this argument, which runs counter to both case law and common sense,” the FCC said in its complaint.
