ABC’s $1m Nudity Fine is B.S.!

Almost forgot about this choice bit of news that my hubby sent me…

“US television network ABC may have to pay a fine of $1.4m for airing an episode of NYPD Blue which depicted female nudity.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) said the 2003 show had ‘multiple, close-up views’ of a woman’s buttocks before the US watershed. (whatever that means)

The FCC deems ’sexual or excretory activities’ shown in an ‘offensive’ way before 2200 as indecent. (2200hrs? I’m not sure what 2200 is supposed to mean)

ABC has rejected the claims, saying the buttocks are not a sexual organ.

The proposed penalty has been imposed on all 52 of ABC’s stations who broadcast the episode. ”

All, in all it’s a pile of B.S. — but that’s the way of the morality police state.
