Finally, someone’s standing up to those heck-mongers.

WFMU’s Beware of the Blog has a great rundown of the FCC’s indecency decisions made public today.

One thing they don’t mention is that a number of the violations took place during “safe harbor” hours, which run from 10PM to 6AM, and are supposedly when kids are asleep. Thank God someone is protecting adults who only get one channel and have to watch TV from seeing simulated, no-nudity teen sex on CBS’ “Without A Trace” (fine: $3.6 million).

Of course, broadcasters want clearer rules, but clearer rules (like, say, a list of words you can’t say and body parts you can’t show) would amost certainly violate the constitution, so that’s a non-starter.

Side Note: Nice to see that “For Me To Poop On” was determined to be OK, despite complaints.
