the butt is a sexual organ

[morgan2]

In a shocking victory for homosexuality, the FCC has ruled the butt an officially sanctioned sexual organ.

Linguistic Incompetence at the FCC
The Federal Communications Commission is proposing to fine ABC $1.4 million for airing in 2003 between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. an NYPD Blue episode showing a woman's buttocks. The details are in this Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture¹. According to the FCC, the episode violated its decency regulations because it depicts "sexual or excretory organs or activities". In response to ABC's argument that the buttocks are not a sexual organ, the ruling states:

"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 law²³ and common sense. "

1. Runs counter to common sense?!? That's more information about FCC sexuality than I wanted to know..

crazy. When are we going to get over this puritanical shit? And what the HELL is up with indigenous nudity being okay but white people nudity not being okay? I just watched this anthropoligist show where the indigenous people had their wangs in gourds and their butts hanging out for all to see, and there was no problem with THAT.

2. Best thread title ever.

And for some reason I immediately thought of "The Ladies' Man."

So does this mean the Bush administration just ruled anal sodomy is normal sexual activity?

[iamthebandfanman]

4. i second that thought , lol .... n/t

only the OP should change "the" to "da"

[morgan2]

10. and the KY jelly companies rejoiced

[Jed Dilligan]

3. It does say excretory...

But I don't think science considers the gluteus maximus an organ.

[TroglodyteScholar]

21. Yea well, gov't isn't very concerned with science these day sanyway....n/t

[ToeBot]

41. And they didn't show an anus. nt

[Mountainman]

5. Depends a lot on the condition of the butt I'd say.

Once on a TV talk show the host told an English man that they didn't have as good a class of bums that we have here. The Englishman was insulted. He said English bums are every bit as good as American bums! One mans butt is another man's bum!

[iamthebandfanman]

6. did the butt choose to be a sexual organ?

or was it born that way ?

[Oeditpus Rex]

28. Some are fully 50 percent better

7. They're also considering blurring out...

mouths, sheep, knotholes in trees, vaccuum hoses, stray socks, electrical outlets, cucumbers, longnecks, pool cues, bicycles without seats, hamsters, duct tape, sofa cushions, garden hoses, washing machines in the spin cycle, jello molds and bagels.

8. Warm apple pies.

[rucky]

9. What are you, some kind of sick pervert?

:evilgrin:

[CoffeeCat]

14. LOL!

Man, that exchange should be bronzed and hung in the DUzy hall of fame!

You're too funny!

:rofl: :rofl:

[shain from kane]

26. What could be more American than an apple pie? After all, I'm not advocating sex with

your mother, the Statue of Liberty, Uncle Sam, or John Wayne.

[tomreedtoon]

34. Isn't "apple pie" German in origin?

I don't remember anyone eating this stuff in "pie form" in any account of Colonial life. It's as American as wienerschnitzel or moo goo gai pan.

[rucky]

37. We kicked their butts in WWII

we're taking the streudel.

[Bucky]

40. Moo goo gai pan is very much an American dish

It's basically the 19th century Chinese immigrants' version of Mulligan stew

[peace13]

13. Too funny! n/t

[notadmblnd]

11. Thread from yesterday...

12. "excretory organs"...like sweat glands, tear ducts, nostrils, & mouths?

I swear, the FCC has a stick up it's sexual excratory organ and/or activity.

[izquierdista]

18. You forgot one

The Zit

[Bucky]

32. Hey, leave the president out of this

[smoogatz]

15. Like anybody at the FCC gives a flying fuck about protecting families.

I don't mean to go all serious here (okay, I guess I do), but what the fuck kind of regulation allows terrifying commercials for Fox's violent/paranormal TV shows during DAYTIME football games but fines ABC $1.4 million for showing a beautiful woman's body from the back? I can't watch a freaking ballgame if my 3-year-old's in the room because the commercials are so violent and scary—do you think anybody's going to get fined if I complain? It's all about censorship and imposing some kind of fucked up fundie moral code on broadcast TV; it's got nothing to do with protecting kids. But of course we already knew that.

Okay, rant off. Back to work for me.

[NightWatcher]

16. bullets and bombs are fine, but boobs and butts are verboten?wtf?

I was raised on violent movies, but if there was heaven forbid, a nipple, we had to cover our eyes.

repressive Puritans

[smoogatz]

19. Bullets, bombs, ghosts, monsters, rotting corpses, serial killers

torture, all fine. A butt? Forget about it.

20. Pretty soon everyone will have to wear mittens

I don't know for sure but I would be willing to bet that the human hand is involved in more sexuality than any other organ or biological matter in the universe. :freak:

[bullimiami]

22. the whole butt or the butt hole?

:)
just asking.

[DCKit]

23. No more "Nature" on PBS

No way they can afford a wardrobe department to sew outfits for all the critters.

You can put a sock on a snake, but how to you keep it on? And the monkeys? Fahgeddabout it. Heathens reveling in their nakedness. Those damn filthy apes!!

[Smith_3]

24. "Butt Fuckers" from Idiocracy

:rofl:

[zorahopkins]

25. Butt, Butt........

Butt, is this the best we can expect from the seat of government?

[helderheid]

27. but, but, but...

butt. :)

[alfredo]

29. Sitting down turns me on big time.

[Fire Walk With Me]

30. "Cling tenaciously to my buttocks" becomes a sexual act? Inditing the Pope himself???

31. It is also a shitting organ.

Hands are far more a sexual organ, what about lips? Will they blur out the lips but keep the words or change them?

Thought police on channel 9

[tomreedtoon]

35. I thought the New York Whore Times was a shitting organ.

The Shitting Organ of Record, in fact. And their latest columnist Bill Krystol is Ex-Lax.

[Rex]

36. The NYT is owned by a criminal mastermind. A real life supervillan.

I guess they are the Foxnews of inforags. The butt of all jokes.

[Oeditpus Rex]

33. The FCC should be made to watch this video

although the irony would be lost.

A Heap of Trouble



(NOT safe for work! HEAVens, no!)

:D

[asthmaticeog]

38. NYPD Blue is still on?

Wow. Who knew?

[Bucky]

39. Do they ever show brains on TV?

I'm told that's an errogenous zone.

[TahitiNut]

42. Not mine.

:cry:

[0007]

43. Talk sex with Sue Johnson' accordingly, went into deep detail

about the buttocks being a sexual excitement to foreplay. Especially for men. Sue warns girls not to bite to hard.

Perhaps ABC should consult with Sue Johnson, 'eh?

[Sabriel]

44. Will letting my kids read THIS book get me in trouble?

Help us, Child Protective Services!



(The whole series is very funny, especially on CD.)
