And push Logic and Reason back up. I mean, damn. We can view images of people being killed in horrible ways, But God forbid we see a Women's naked breast.

1. Thats not the point
most of us wouldn't let our children watch people being killed - and we don't want our children seeing that kind of display either. They should warn you or not do it. Is it too much to ask that on network prime time tv we not have nudity???

3. Agreed. Change the rules if you don't like them. Don't ignore them...
We have rules against airing nipple exposure between 6:00am and 10:00pm. CBS violated this rule. I say fine 'em!

7. Here's The Real Deal Folks
if Viacom weren't so damn big, the FCC could enforce them to follow the rules. But it's too late, our former president threw the GOP a bone when he didn't veto the Telecommmunications act of 96, and media became way too powerful.

Trying to enforce Goliath to follow the rules now is a joke.

Think Viacom is going to flinch over some pathetic fine? NO, if Viacom were a group of say...20 stations, they would give a shit, but this is a mere annoyance and the fine will be a drop in the bucket.

Will CBS lose viewers? Hardly, remember they are American's Most Watched Network

8. 80,900 No - 80,400 Yes
What a fucked up country we live in when people think the government should investigate a bare breast. That's yer boy Colin. Aren't you proud of him now?

11. hundreds of millions of dollars for "bread and circuses..."
...in a country where millions do not have access to basic health care or adequate education, and Janet Jackson shows a breast. Which is more obscene?

C'mon, 50 percent of the world's people have 'em, and most of the other 50 percent see them pretty regularly. What's obscene about a body part that we're all so familiar with?

12. It really isn't about the breast
It's about the fact that CBS won't allow a video that depicts Chimpy's tax cuts putting the burden on our kids but has no problem showing us a gratuitous breast shot. Keep the masses bombarded with sex, fear, and consumerism and that should to keep em quiet.
