this is getting out of hand. i'm sure i'm not the only one who's noticed that TV and radio broadcasters are seriously starting to fear the FCC, to the point where it's affecting our every day media exposure. Not a day goes by when I don't hear a DJ (including both local and syndicated) on my commute being forced to rephrase something due to the fear of being fined. And what these DJs are trying to say is something that I wouldn't even think twice about saying in my friends' company. Something like "He doesn't have the balls to do that." A phrase like that is absolutely part of the average american's vernacular, yet it can't be said on the radio, because "balls" is apparantly an indecent term.
Ab-fucking-surd.
I can agree that there should be some regulation, but it should only be applied to the stuff on the fringe of mainstream media. The FCC is completely missing that mark...
