According to this, 99.9% of non-Janet's boob related complaints that the FCC has fielded concerning indecency on television and radio come from one advocacy group: the Parents Television Council. This one group has, in the past year, been the puppeteer behind the FCC's war on so-called indecency on the airwaves. It's so funny to me because groups like this made the TV rating system happen and because of the rating system, television was able to flourish in all sorts of ways that can be termed "indecent". I saw it coming a mile away.

And the PTC are some smug motherfuckers about it, too. All this group means to me is there are a lot of parents who don't want the responsibility of being parents. This group wants the FCC to take care of their kids' viewing habits so they don't have to. How about this: act like fucking parents. It's not the government's responsibility to watch your kids. It's yours. So do your fucking jobs and watch your goddamn kids.

EDIT: Upon further review of the PTC website, I see now how organized they are and how they can get complaints to the FCC so fast. Check this out. The people complaining don't even have to see the tv show or radio broadcast in question. The PTC has a ready-made form that any idiot with an internet connection can fill out without even thinking about it. Amazing. It seems like the FCC shouldn't take every single complaint they take seriously. The weird thing is I've never even of this show before. So once again an advocacy group's rantings have created information that kids can use to watch potentially offensive material. Thanks, PTC! I think I'll go listen to Two Live Crew now.

I think today we'll be getting ourselves a Christmas tree. Mostly it's because Lindsey wants one but even if she didn't I probably would get one anyway. The apartment needs a bit of holiday cheer...something that Transformers can only provide so much of.
