FCC reply on the horse jerking complaint

[NVMojo]

I still think this is funny! I wonder how many complaints they got!?

You are receiving this email in response to your inquiry to the FCC.

Dear Consumer,

Programming considered indecent, obscene, violent, or otherwise offensive to some viewers may be transmitted over cable systems. The FCC Cannot Restrict Non-Broadcast (Cable) Programming.

The FCC is not permitted to censor or restrict the availability of non-broadcast programming shown over cable systems, even when the program in question may be offensive to some viewers.

Cable operators do not have the same restrictions on program content as regular television broadcast stations.

Thank you for contacting the FCC.

Rep Number : TSR42

1. Good! Because if The Daily Show is guilty, Laura is, too

Which, of course, is why they did the skit in the first place.

4. Maybe it was the Bush way of getting cable censored too....

guys are not above anything.

5. If cable isn't as restricted

Why the fuck does Comedy Central bleep the "nasty" words in stand-up routines, unless they're scared that Colin Powell's sprog is going to come down on them?
