PTC Blasts CBS for Nudity on ‘Survivor’ Premiere

[JI7]

did anyone notice this ? i watched the show but didn't pay attention the whole time so didn't notice anything then.

The Parents Television Council™ called out CBS for allowing a contestant’s penis to air unedited during the premiere episode of “Survivor: Gabon” on Thursday, September 25. The two hour “Survivor” season premiere began during the Family Hour at 8:00 p.m. in the Eastern and Pacific Time zones and 7:00 p.m. in the Central and Mountain Time zones. PTC has filed an indecency complaint with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and is encouraging its members and concerned citizens to do so as well.

During the show’s premiere, the contestants participated in a race for “immunity and rewards.” Contestant Marcus Lehman’s penis was shown falling out of his underwear as he ran to the finish line. The image was not obscured in any way.

1. LOL! I watched too and didn't notice.

Obviously, the Survivor editors didn't notice either.

5. i noticed the

"bulge" but not when he got exposed. i think CBS knew about it and showed it on purpose. that's why Survivor had the contestents in their underwear rather than bathing suits.

15. Remember Superman movies/shows?

he never had a "bulge" until recent t.v. shows.

14. Neither did and I saw it twice

I watched it when it originally aired and the next night "on demand" and I never noticed it.

33. His penis isn't that memorable.

2. OMG, if someone sees a penis pretty soon everyone will have one or know someone who does!

Besides, it's not like he had a Finishing Line Boner*

* Not to be confused with a Finnish Boner, something altogether entirely different.

3. If no one noticed, it must be a small offense

[JI7]

9. i bet most didn't notice it until the PTC put out the complaint

[RagAss]

4. Looked like lint.

[lame54]

6. That's better than the Lion King

[blue_onyx]

7. I didn't notice either...

I first heard about it the next day on the gossip blogs. It's just a penis...they need to get over it.

[Poll_Blind]

10. I think these sorts of complaints are caused be people who don't get over penises ENOUGH.

Just sayin'

11. I think we need to just get off this subject...

:spank:

[Mabus]

16. Oh. Why don't you just beat it.

:blush:

[originalpckelly]

22. Come again?

:shrug:

[Mabus]

34. Whack-o!

:evilgrin:

[originalpckelly]

8. OMG! You would know that I'd miss this...

had to Janet's boobie, but can't see his ding dong! And I would go gay too! :-(

[annabanana]

12. that is too funny. .

Think of all the people who wouldn't have seen it if it weren't for the PTC and their prude patrol

[marmar]

13. In Europe, there are naked bodies on public TV all the time, and nobody raises an eyebrow.....

..... This country's attitude toward something as natural as the human body is extremely unhealthy.

[Mabus]

17. No kidding.

We are so backward that it is beyond pathetic.

[Hardrada]

19. I noticed some German quiz shows when I was last in Berlin

which seemed to involve contestants taking their clothes off. One of them involved completing some kind of crossword puzzle. It was rather interesting.

[mwooldri]

23. Exactly!

This former Children's TV presenter hosted a one-off Naturist game show:

Pictures probably not safe for work in the USA.

[TankLV]

25. not bad for being just 30 degrees in the studio...!!!

not too much "shrinkage"...!!!

[Dukkha]

18. I am shocked!

that people still watch Survivor

[frylock]

21. no kidding

[chicagoexpat]

20. I wish they'd get that message out more... I MISSED IT!!

[Sheets of Easter]

24. A bunch of people with nothing better to do with their time & money,

than to look for boobs, bad language and weenies on TV, and manufacture outrage.

[Damian the LHP]

26. Not a "bunch of people"

It's mostly one guy.

[MilesColtrane]

27. Reality Show?

Yeah, I'd call getting a dick in the eye the ultimate reality.

[Forkboy]

28. All the people saying they didn't notice are making the guy feel real good.

:rofl:

[me b zola]

29. WTF?! So this is why they took it off of demand?

They can show breast for breakfast, lunch and dinner, but let a penis free itself and stop the freaking press!

[FedUpWithIt All]

30. Thank you PTC. The kids and I would have missed that slow motion shot of a man's errant penis...

if you hadn't pointed it out. That is what you wanted, right? :eyes:

Thank Gods you didn't just let that one go UNDER the radar, the kids thought it was rather entertaining. Good chuckle all around.

[brettdale]

31. These people need a life

I mean really, they are offended by a penis?

[Lucian]

32. Oh no! It's the attack of the penis!

:eyes:

Who gives a shit really? So someone saw a penis on tv. Big fucking deal.

[Kip Humphrey]

35. Get that guy a BIG truck. Sounds like he needs one... nobody noticed.
