Here we go again. MarketWatch
is reporting that the Federal Communications Commission plans to impose sanctions on FOX, NBC, and CBS for indecent
content. The penalties are the first imposed since current FCC Chairman Kevin Martin (pictured) took office in March
2005. In addition to whatever fines the networks will be made to pay, the FCC will also add the word "shit"
to its list of words that cannot be said on television (MarketWatch describes the new banned word as "a
four-letter word that is a synonym for excrement" and I can only assume they're not banning the word
"crap"). The ruling will also reportedly clarify what is considered indecent, which has become muddied and
confusing over the years.Posts with tag indecent
