As everyone knows…since Janet’s Boob the FCC has been trying to get stricter controls over what is allowed to be said in on the Radio, TV, etc..

Apparently, the FCC and the rest of the government is no longer concerned with that little document called the Constitution, which, amongst other things, ensures something called Freedom of Speech. Now that some prude in the FCC saw a 5 second image of a boob, and then re-played that same 5 seconds like a billion times on his TiVo. They’ve decided that Howard Stern is ‘obscene’. Granted, he does say/do some gross things on his show, but nothing that I would say is obscene. Of course, they’re doing it “to protect the kids”… Got a news flash for the FCC and the rest of the anti-free speech members of government.. Its not your job to decide what my kid needs protecting from… that’s the job of a parent. Its the parent’s responsibility to turn the TV off, or change the channel, same thing with Radio… if somethings on that I don’t want Kael to see/hear.. I change the channel – I don’t try and change the world to suit my definition of ‘safe programming’ . Let the movie studios, television, and radio produce and air whatever they want – and let them air it WHENever they want… let the parent’s decide what they want their kids to see/hear on TV/Radio/Movies…

Just keep in mind.. you may think its OK if the government goes after “shock jocks” like Howard…but will you be ok when they decide a joke your favorite radio/tv personality told was obscene? and get him/her pulled from broadcast?

Go here : www.stopfcc.com – Yes, its an online petition and it doesn’t really accomplish much..but when you follow that up with letters/phone calls to your congresspeople it might actually accomplish something.

Seems to be making quite a few headlines in the last day or so…

First, you had Alanis Morrissette’s (That’s probably spelt wrong…but oh well!) “Naked” protest at the Canadian version of the Grammies… she was apparently protesting the FCC (presumably-possibly her record label) making her remove the word Asshole from one of her songs, and replace it with ‘nightmare’.

Then a judge in Maine (ironically .. ‘Bang’or) has allowed a couple of women to legally jog naked in Maine (isn’t it cold there? I would think that jogging naked in Maine would be….. uncomfortable). Seems Maine law describes indecent conduct as knowingly exposing genitals in public. And, you would think that naked jogging would fall under that description. However, it appears that Maine has decided that a Female’s genitals are ‘primarily’ internal. So, when one of the accused asked the arresting officer if he’d seen her genitals… he responded with a no. Guess the cops in Maine are going to start having to carry speculums to arrest people for indecent conduct. Here’s the link to that article.

And my favorite headline for this week… Everyone knows sex feels good (if it doesn’t… you’re not doing it right). Now, you can (if you’re a male) tell your partner that the more often you have intercourse, the better your chances of avoiding cancer are… sounds like a prescription to a lot of fooling around to me. At least 21 times a month according to the article! Here’s the link Now.. go tell your partner you need help with a medical condition!

Time to start remembering all the tips you learned from Monster movies!

Ok.. I suppose it might be a little bit early to break out the wooden stakes and chopping heads off people you think are Vampires… since.. according to this article they were Vampire Bats…but if the next report you hear out of Brazil sounds something like the trailer for Van Helsing or Dawn of the Dead… it might be good idea to sharpen a few sticks and keep them handy.
