What about religious TV? Why are our public airwaves being used to promote religion? And not just religion in general, but just one very narrow-minded view of Christianity.

It's not an unreasonable thing to feel, but I think it's a bad idea. We'd just be feeding the monster that is the FCC's idea that it has any role as gatekeeper to broadcast content.

Stinky, it's because those public airwaves have been licensed by religious broadcasters. Non-religious noncommercial broadcasters were just as capable of going after the licenses as the churches were. The churches were just better organized, better funded, and better motivated.

Oh, yeah, I like the Viagra commercial complaints. That way you strike not only at their need to placate the FCC, but yer hittin' their pocketbook as well. From ridiculous to sublime!

I remember that Rush was on a "vagina lockbox" kick a while back - I called the station and valiantly and loudly complained.......to the recording machine. I did get an email response though thanking me for contacting them.

This isn't the right way to go. The whole thing is wrong and we're not going to look that good for doing it. We know it's wrong and we don't need to try and use it-knowing us it would backfire.
Why aren't there simply more politicians standing up and complaining about this. It would look much better to list examples in a press conference.
But this issue it too scarey for most politicians.

I'd say go after the reality violence shows, like Cops or When Animals Attack. It's the kind of breads and circuses trash TV that FOX likes to air. Considering FOX News works as the propaganda arm of the Bush cabal it'd be poetic justice to see the FCC go after their profitable tripe.

What else is declared as nonacceptable in the FCC rules? Other than indecency, I mean. Is there something else we could protest, like the absence of anything that isn't wingnuttery?

I'd like to reiterate I am not opposed to religion per se. But if we show Mass at the Vatican on broadcast TV, or Jimmy Swaggart every Sunday, shouldn't we also show a Jewish religious service on Rosh Hashana or a Pagan ceremony on the Solstice? Or show a regular weekly telecast of a Muslim observance?
How can the public airwaves be used to promote Christianity alone, and ignore other religions?

Yes, Enzyte is the one with the guy with the fixed creepy grin and the happy wife. You know, "This... is Bob." There's a golf one, a pool one, a neighbor one (with the Enzyteless neighbor and his wife looking unhappily at cocktail weenies while visiting Bob's house), and there was a racecar one which suggested to me that they might be trying to reach out to the gay market...

We should complain about Viagra ads, any mention of erectile dysfunction. How about kotex ads, any feminine hygiene products ads.
Have there been any PSAs for abstinence? They should be attacked too more mentioning sex.

I say we stick with the news on this one, but instead of single letters to the editor, we make it 100,000 letters to the editor. Sheer numbers seem to work with simps like Michael Powell. I'm certainly not in favor of starting some kind of liberal anti-obscenity/bad taste campaign of outrage, I'm all for sex and swearing on TV.

Kinda on topic here....
Is anyone else seeing the commercials for the new movie "Meet the Fockers?"
The voiceover narration repeats the word "Focker" 3 or 4 times in a 30 second commercial, and pronounces it like... well you know. It been on sci fi channel several time in the last 30 minutes, and probably will be again.

I vote for going after reality TV such as Fear Factor, or trashy talk shows, on the grounds that they are pornographic, humiliating exploitations of the human participants for purely commercial purposes. They offer nothing in the way of enrichment, intellectual or spiritual, to the viewer. They degrade both the participants and the viewers.
Seriously. Such a complaint would help re-frame the dialogue as to what's really offensive and harmful to the human spirit. It goes the fundies one better while at the same time attacking some truly vile programming.

It's not jettisoning the First Amendment...
it's merely a reflection that these businesses are using my airwaves to make a profit.

So SJ, do you favour dropping FCC licenses and government prosecution of micro broadcasters that might interfere with currently licensed TV broadcasters? Why is the government denying the 1st Amendment rights of individuals to broadcast right over those lame Viagra and PAX propaganda?

What these fundie nutz are doing is advocating censorship. I've spent too many years working in libraries (public, academic, law) to be in favor of any kind of censorship.
What we need to do is remind people that they do not HAVE to watch television or movies or whatever form of entertainment is currently offending them. For pete's sake, humans lived quite happily for thousands of years without these things. The fundies can, too.

She constantly talks about risque subjects that are difficult to explain to children (babies out of wedlock, adultery, teen pregnanies, drug abuse...)
And she spawned Dr. Phil, an equally good candidate for boycotting.

Why do you need a "reasonable" target?
Since the entire issue is absurd, it would seem that the best way to illustrate that would be to blanket-object to EVERY PROGRAM AND AD, and come up with a specious reason for complaining about each one.
Use "complaint chaff" to overwhelm their system, in sort of the way metallic chaff would overwhelm a missile defense system.
The point of the exercise shouldn't be to be clever, it should be to pummel the FCC and the stations that kowtow to the FCC by making the situation as intolerable for everyone as possible. If you bury the FCC in complaints, and force them to generate a blizzard of paper to respond to those complaints [and also force the networks to generate a blizzard of tapes and defenses to respond to FCC requests for information] perhaps we will get close to creating a sufficient amount of disorder to stimulate change.

Nah, it's a vitamin pill that makes the same claims. Utter bullshit, of course. But it's from a firm making 'nutraceuticals' which ape the branding of prescription drugs perfectly, showing just why DTC pharmaceutical advertising is such a bad idea.

QuinnLaBelle - Censorship is when the government attempts to limit access to a media. If folks don't like books in your library, they could always set up a competing library. (But they don't and try to prevent access to the book at all access points.)
As I mentioned above, the media of TV and radio, VHF, UHF, AM and FM frequency, has limited access via government fiat. This is a form of censorship and limitation of the free market that has long been accepted. The flip-side of that coin is that in providing monopoly access to gain profit from public property is that they should serve the PUBLIC interest.
Perhaps we should get a bunch of giant Mexican AM stations to broadcast on the frequencies Rush uses in Arizona and San Diego and O.C.
Personally first complaints should go against the WWE! At least until they introduce a dweeb lily white CONservative in a short white-collared shirt and bow-tie that consistently gets beaten on by the URBAN and urbane big men.

CABLE DOESN'T COUNT.
Got that? The FCC covers network broadcasts. If you can get it with rabbit ears, it's part of the public airwaves. If it comes through a cable or via a dish, it doesn't come under the FCC's purview.

Aren't WalMart commercials in violation of some sort of "truth-in-advertising" law?
Let's go after any (if not ALL) commercials. WalMart, McDonald's, "Girls Gone Wild"... Reasons for reporting them don't have to be valid, as long as we're doing it "for the sake of the CHILDREN"!

Actually, Tom, I support improved receivers that can better discriminate between signals, thus getting rid of the interference concerns that are blocking more LPFM and LPTV broadcasters from operating.
And pseudonymous in nc gets it right. Not much one can say about cable, other than blocking obscenity (not indeceny).

pseud - The FCC may not currently "regulate" cable broadcasts, but Powell, son of Powell, sure does regulate the cable industry. Forcing things like a la carte cable offerings might be an option. Opening monopoly physical cable installations to competition through mandatory line sharing for ISPs.
This is the side of the government economy coin that gets debated at Slashdot a lot more than here. It still makes me laugh at so-called free-market libertarians damning government regulation of content while praising government regulation that creates these monopolies in the first place. They are OPM CONServatives opposed to the free market and liberty.

Well, why not those impotence pill ads? What about the one that talks about the 4 hour erection? (I forget which one it is.) Say, "We were watching the NFL on Sunday at X time on X channel and we saw an ad for {fill in the blank blue pill} and it talked about four hour erections. I do not think it is appropriate for television aired on Sunday afternoon to have ads featuring commercials describing sexual function. These ads should only be shown after Jay Leno comes on" or some such...you get what I'm saying. Not totally knocking out the ads, but pushing them into the adult time zone. 
Personally, since I don't watch TV save when I'm visiting my parents, I don't particularly care, but it would sure be funny to have the nets trying to explain why they give over so much of their airtime to ads that feature little blue pill devil horns.

And we're supposed to look up to these schtickdrecks as our heroes. Disgusting fascist, racist propaganda. Get it the fuck off the air.

Daytime soaps....brain rot.
I've worked since I was 17, so I could never see the big thing about those soaps.
I could never figure out what my Mom saw in them. She's even turned off by them nowadays because she said all you ever see on them is people jumping into bed and ridiculous storylines.
If you tried to take them off, though, the good God-fearin' Christian women-folk in Dumbfuckistan would throw the hissy-fit of all time!

Go after the news for lying to us. Not only is it something we really believe in, but it may get some play in the press. "FCC receives thousands of complaints regarding ABC's refusal to provide adequate context regarding social security". "NBC under fire for misrepresenting Rumsfeld's role in the armor scandal." This is the kind of Rovian tactic we need. The aim is never to achieve what you ask for (demand). It's to get your points out there in the press.

Focus on the ads. Right after Nicolette dropped her towel, ABC ran a commercial with the line "Save a horse, ride a cowboy."
I was traumatized.

It's not an unreasonable thing to feel, but I think it's a bad idea. We'd just be feeding the monster that is the FCC's idea that it has any role as gatekeeper to broadcast content.
SJ
I agree.
BTW, when did the fundies become our role models for anything, including, but not limited to, politcal tactics? Emulating them will only encourage them. And we don't want to do that.
There have been reports in the press re: attempts by various fundies groups to remove books and other items from all state-funded libraries (i.e. your local public library, school libraries, public university libraries, etc.). These attempts have been going on for a few decades now, but seem to be gathering new momentum. Georgia? Tennessee?
If liberals/progressives are seen to be advocating anything at all in the way of censorship, then we are all sunk.
As for the so-called public airwaves, well hon, the corporations OWN them. And all the corporations understand is $$$$$$$. You wanna send them a message? Turn off the fucking teevee. Go out for walk. Or something.

I am not happy having to watch Preparation H during dinner. That said, I think that pluralism is better than what was around in the 1950s. If anything, we should look for where diversity is lacking, and frame reform in that way rather than arguing so and so ought to be banned.
For example, the History Channel is sometimes interesting. But other times it sounds like a propoganda machine for the country, specifically the military (e.g., From Tactical to Practical). Be nice to get some diversity there.

Wal-Mart Sued Over Evanescence Lyrics
By DAVID DISHNEAU
Associated Press Writer
December 11, 2004, 5:43 PM EST
HAGERSTOWN, Md. -- Wal-Mart Stores Inc., which promotes itself as a seller of clean music, deceived customers by stocking compact discs by the rock group Evanescence that contain the f-word, a lawsuit claims.
The hit group's latest CD and DVD, "Anywhere But Home," don't carry parental advisory labels alerting potential buyers to the obscenity. If they did, Wal-Mart wouldn't carry them, according to the retailer's policy.
But the lawsuit claims Wal-Mart knew about the explicit lyrics in the song, "Thoughtless," because it censored the word in a free sample available on its Web site and in its stores.
The complaint, filed Thursday in Washington County Circuit Court, seeks an order requiring Wal-Mart to either censor or remove the music from its Maryland stores. It also seeks damages of up to $74,500 for each of the thousands of people who bought the music at Wal-Marts in Maryland.
"I don't want any other families to get this, expecting it to be clean. It needs to be removed from the shelves to prevent other children from hearing it," said plaintiff Trevin Skeens of Brownsville.
Skeens said he and his wife, Melanie, let their daughter buy the music for her 13th birthday and were shocked when they played it in their car while driving home.
...
The Skeens' lawyer, Jon D. Pels of Bethesda, said he aims to "take this case national, even if that means going state by state."
He dismissed Whitcomb's suggestion that Wal-Mart stores didn't know about the censored version of the song. "They are a multimillion-dollar corporation and they certainly can communicate among their various entities," he said.

If a Tennessee woman can claim "injury" from seeing a boob on the Super Bowl halftime show, I know lots of folks who can claim they've been damaged by seeing an asshole.
He's certainly damaged me. And my mother literally has to leave the room when he appears, because she gets physically ill.
This could work. Thanks Atrios!

As for the so-called public airwaves, well hon, the corporations OWN them.
I guess in the sense of "the Bushevik ownership society", corporations own the public airwaves. Or perhaps in the sense that US stockholders OWN the corporations that the stock has been issued by and OWN the politicians and bureaucrats they donate to.
But personally I won't cede language like "own" and "ownership" to a bunch of nitwits, when in fact it's just a government licensed monopoly.
Once you give up on your government and politicians as protecting your interests and suggest the only action is washing your hands of the situation, you might as well move to Idaho and join a militia. Cuz what job are ya gonna have when they get around to you and pull public funding for public libraries?

I suggest a boycott of any show that exploits little people. How dumb do you have to be to laugh at a "midget?" Okay, full disclosure answer to that question: as dumb as Drunkee between the ages of 12 and 21. But I've changed.
It's gutter humor and overdone.
This will, regrettably, include a boycott of Lucky Charms.

I think going after the fundy religious program would cause a backlash we don't want.
I've never watched a daytime soap, but I do remember the days when my daughter was a teenager and I came home from work to find her watching that crap after school. The red state ladies seem to eat it up, and it's got more sex than anything they've complained about. I vote for the soaps. They are, after all, shown during "children's hours".
The ads for drugs (all of them) are obnoxious, but we probably couldn't succeed in getting those pulled.
I've never seen Fear Factor or any of the slimy exploitation shows, but you can't watch anything without being bombarded with their disgusting trailers.
Lets find out what shows the wingnuts hold most dear, and select the worst among them, using the same criteria they use to get anything they don't like banned.

Maybe we should write and complain about anything with violence (although I like to watch football and cheerleaders and CSI and Ahrnold re-runs). And CNN in EVERY version is pure-de awful. "Who Bill, did you see THAT building explode? Wonder if any Terrist' were in it?"
Diana's funeral -- God, what wretchedness. The OJ Trial. Scott you-know-who (I don't have to say do I?)
Anyone for the morning TV programs? Does pablum and sappiness count on the outrage meter? Can we protest and get THOSE programs off the air -- maybe replaced by silence, or even the sound of breaking glass? And Sunday morning -- NOT the CBS version, which is often pretty good -- but the goddamned preachers. Isn't there some way to get those Anti-Christ Bozo's off the air? Why don't the Khristians complain about those guys?
Or at least get the pan-shots of the Stepford Christians who sit in their audience banned as obscene? Will the FTC listen to a voice of reason, or is it only about Blasphemy and Boobs?
Oh hell -- there is a lot more. Local News, the Fox Network ----.

How is one to pick where to start?

Call me crazy, but maybe, just maybe we ought to just try to beat our enemies instead of becoming them. How about instead of finding our own broadcast whipping boys, we support the shows that the PTC attacks--flood the FCC with emails supporting those shows instead of trying to outstupid the opposition.

Lets find out what shows the wingnuts hold most dear, and select the worst among them, using the same criteria they use to get anything they don't like banned.
SOAPS.
Why is that, exactly?

Cuz what job are ya gonna have when they get around to you and pull public funding for public libraries?
Ah, Tom?
I do not at this time actually have a job in any library. Nor are there prospects of one.
Why?
Because they've already culled funding for public libraries to the bone. No money for nuthin', not books, not staff, not building maintenance.
And you are worried about access to the boob tube, fer pity's sake.
Turn the fookin' thing OFF and go use your public library while you still have one!!!

"It's gotta be Bush.
If a Tennessee woman can claim "injury" from seeing a boob on the Super Bowl halftime show, I know lots of folks who can claim they've been damaged by seeing an asshole.
He's certainly damaged me. And my mother literally has to leave the room when he appears, because she gets physically ill."
Everytime I see the son of a bitch I always say "Somebody KILLl him, please!"
(And while they're at it, take out Karl Rove!)

Since we really are mad at the news, why not protest? I'm not sure why we haven't already started a major campaign to restore some integrity into their reporting.
Ahem...
I've long wanted to have a big march on the Alphabet soups, and my primary target is NBC's Today Show, with its pretty picture windows. Shove the rubes out of the way, burn effigies of Katie and Matt. Think THAT wouldn't attract attention?

Was it Josh or Seeing the Forest or whom??? who recently spotlighted the country music lyrics on about the salesman and the first grade teacher having a juicy affair in the surf, and the other top ten country song about the wild and fast and loose woman i the bar? I saw a video of that one, and they don't closed caption all the lyrics, because they are so raunchy. They do show all the women in the audience singing along, though. Either one of those songs could be used to describe Clinton's indiscretions.

Oh yes, the first thing that military coups do after capturing the President is to obtain control of the Public Library system and they never, ever, ever go near a radio or TV station.
Though I do have to give kudos to my public library system. I do love being able to renew or reserve books online.
And Incertus, I'm not up for supporting some of the shows the AFA and Bozell are against. Though if Bozo-ell is after Moyers, I can support Moyers. But the government is designed to respond to squeaky wheels in its regulation. That means either you re-legislate and change the rules or you become a squeaky wheel.
Since liberals have no power to legislate at this point, it's time to be the George Will style obstructionist squeaky wheel until we can seize the power to pass legislation again. (and hopefully we can do this locally as well as nationally, so those public libraries can be properly funded and protected against the Bozo-ells of the US)

How about all those local evening news (as well as 7:00 entertainment news shows) that strike a tone of moral indignation at the latest sexy ad/video/publicity stunt (' . . . but have they gone TOO FAR?') and then show the 'offending' video clip over and over again. Take the Terrell Owens-Nicolette Sheridan promo. I missed it the first time around, but needn't have worried. Every station in the country was busy showing it to me again so they could moralize about how awful it was (wanna see it again?)

From what I know, and the comments, I think it's pretty clear we need to look at broadcast TV to make complaints.
And I really don't want us to cut off the nose to spite the face, so to speak, so we need to be careful on the target. I don't like the suggest of simply blanketing the system with complaints on every show will work-that's simply too much effort to be feasible.
That said, I'm not certain if FOX the network is affiliated with FOX NEWS. I'm assuming it is, so perhaps that should be our primary target-hit 'em in the pocket books. I'm thinking reality-based shows such as COPS (is that Fox?) might hit the Red-Staters hard, but surely there's some shows we can target.
If we can make complaints about Rush, Hanninty, etc. (especially when we catch them in lies), that'd be sweet.

We don't have to be knee-jerk about this, but if Bozell is going after the freaking Summer Olympics opening ceremonies, what won't he go after? Surely there are plenty of shows we can defend, if only in the name of free and open expression ideas. Call me crazy, but I always thought trying to stifle opinion was a bad thing.

The key is to make the whole process seem to be as ludicrous as possible. That means pick an innocent target and dump tons of complaints about them onto the FCC. For instance, if Crocodile Hunter was on one of the networks we could complain that Steve Irwin is obviously mimicing acts of bestiality when he lays down on a croc.
That's how I think it should be done, anyway. Picking real targets would make us as bad as them.

Incertus - I don't think we are trying to stifle opinion... I'd love to pressure Congress to stop harassing PBS to move NewsHour from news to right-wing agitprop.
I'd love to see more support for Frontline and Nova, doing real Science and social science to counter the lunacy of Creationism and exposing the fringe United Front organisations that get created to push the Bushevik agitprop.

Target false character attacks from pundits.
It's slander/libel, and that it's allowed is an easy way to call attention to the partisan nature of the FCC.

And why don't they mention that each NASCAR race generates 8 tons of solid Carbon Black , all of which is airborn and good thing too , who would want a dump-truck full of oily black powder in their front yard?IN everyones lungs is WAY better ....
Nascar, WWF, ...do I hate America ?

Why don't we set up a "hit list" of shows, or better, a list of those who spread the fear and hatred that feeds the deceiving beast. When someone sees an example of "hate talk" or other fear mongering by a Coulter, Malkin or other scum, we blast the FCC with complaints.
And don't forget to keep an eye on your local Sinclair Broadcast affiliates license renewal date. Round up some friends and file individual grievances. That's supposed to make things even more tedious and expensive for the "boys".
Ideally, I'd love to see an investment fund together and pool enough money to launch our own cable venture, or better yet an internet broadcast system. Atrios, Kos and a host of others could sit in the comfort of their homes and do an hour or two of talk each day.
THAT would have the broadcast boys freakin' from day one.

Yes, I know it's tempting. I'm sure you could find a complaint a day at FOX and with Limbaugh. Michael Savage is the proverbial fish in a barrel. All of those could be fun.
Generally, I'd love to start with wrestling, follow with football and move right on to boxing. You can probably move on through to soccer and the NBA too. (Speaking of which, where were the FCC complaints after the Pistons/Pacers fight back in November?) There are a couple of drivers with NASCAR that will open the door there too.
Violence is a legit complaint at the FCC. And nothing would annoy these folks like taking away their sports programming.
Somebody is going to have to convince me though. Censorship is their thing. I don't want to be associated with it in any context.
So, my gut on this is: Fun idea but really, no way. Ain't going there.

1) give more money to organizations that track the rhetoric of the right, like Media Matters does.
2) use the principles of 'truth in journalism' to go after the falsehoods that the right spews out daily. Expose the falsehoods to mainstream America. How many moms and pops in this country have even heard of Media Matters?
3) use this basis to go after the companies that advertise on right wing channels. If ALL the people that voted against Bush (57 million was it?) told a company that if it advertises on a show known for falsehood, we will boycott them, then our problem is solved, is it not?
No FCC was involved, no policing beyond our own grassroots effort.

It has to be a network program, so I agree with the General that we should pick an innocent show and complain about stupid stuff to make Bozell's group look lame(er).
I suggest "Joan of Arcadia," and that we complain about how its depictions of God (i.e., as a black woman, a teen, etc.)give children unbiblical ideas about God not being a patriarchal white man with a white beard.

Complain about infomercials. They're a direct result of Reagan-era deregulation.
The airwaves are *ours,* and the FCC is there *exactly* so that we can be as dour-faced and clenched-sphincteredly persnickety about what's transmitted over those airwaves.
I think infomercials are a bane on the existence of broadcast media. We need to roll back to the glorious era of the 50s, when there were no infomercials, and when there was an equal time doctrine.
The uppity right complains about outrageous content, and the uppity left should complain about outrageous irresponsibility on the part of broadcasters. Infomercials are irresponsible because they don't provide any real public good. Equal time is required so that we can be assured of some degree of balance from broadcasters.

Thinking it through, sending in thousands of complaints about indecency on FOX, etc. is more a matter of demonstrating the slippery slope the FCC plans on descending slowly. If we force the obvious consequences into the public eye quickly, we can wake up the public before it is too late.
The logic here is to take the KK-Kristian's position to its absurd conclusion. Maybe start a group for "The Prevention of S*X and Other Terrorist Plots" and ask the Landover Baptist Church for help...
Viagra ads are a bad target because there's some truth to the charge. Better satire is to question where Olive Oyl's little SweetPea came from, and "Uncle" Popeye's role in this occurance. Donald Duck's "nephews" are of at best questionable parentage - and why do they live with Daisy Duck, anyway?
The goal is cut into the polling numbers for the "culture war" theme. Karl Rove only cares about numbers - if they aren't there, he'll stop pushing these issues.
Tom Lehrer wrote a song called "SMUT" in the 1960's. This verse should be our motto:
All books can be indecent books;
But recent books are bolder;
For filth, I'm glad to say, is in the mind of the beholder;
When correctly viewed, everything is lewd;
I could tell you things about Peter Pan;
and the Wizard of Oz - there's a dirty old man!

I said it on another board, but "Desperate Housewives." It's a hit in red-states, it's on a network in prime time, and it's trashy as hell and created by an admitted homosexual (via Newsweek). Murder, adultery, shirtless men, women not submitting to the will of their husbands, all for the children to see right there on the public airwaves in prime time.

Patriotboy is right. Find something to complain about in any and everyshow. But make sure its ridiculous. Complain about Touched by an Angel portraying angels in a nonbiblical fashion. Complain about imagined sexual double entendres in any and everything.
There is one downside to this. We'll have to actually watch some network television to come up with our complaints.
We must complain about the costumes that figure skaters wear. We must complain about male figure skaters promoting the homosexual agenda.

Since Fox is the house organ (huh huh, I said organ) of the Current Occupants and they're also (AFA says so) the cutting edge of trash on TV, if you're gonna do it I say concentrate on Fox. At the very least if they want to complain about it they'll be forced to argue that we're not really attacking them for showing leering trash on TV, we're attacking them for their Conservative Family Values.
Which they finance by showing leering trash on TV.
I'd like to see that press conference.

Concerning Fox: the O.C. is planning a lesbian kiss later this season so you can complain about that.

Go after Fox.
It would be one thing if they were 'just' hypocrites but they are not; they are sociopathic schizophrenics.
That's what makes them dangerous.
Also - they 'are' obscene.

I like the idea of filing ridiculous complaints about things like "Touched By An Angel" -- a little bit of dada in the system would be a good thing. But for max impact and contrast, we should go for something clearly non-sexual.
My idea: baseball.
If they don't get anything worked out about the steroid problem by the time opening day arrives, we should call up and complain about every game that's broadcast over the air.
"Why are my children being exposed to an institution that not only willingly tolerates the abuse of dangerous drugs, but that now depends on such toleration in order to create its most lauded successes?"
et cetera, et cetera. 162 games a year.

How about Desperate Housewives or some reality show? They're especially popular among the dyed-blonde, chain smoking, thrice-divorced Jerry Springer trailer trash that make up about half the "moral valyas" vote here in the Bahbul Bayult.

Maybe you could complain about all the sex that's been cut from TV. I want to see Jamie Lee Curtis' tits in Trading Places! It's the only thing that would make it worth watching that movie again.
If you want to do a service to humanity, why not try to get rid of that Animal Planet pet psychic (or any psychic for that matter). There are also many ads that make preposterous claims to stupid America like the one for the halogen cooker that, "cooks from the inside-out."

Yeah, as a few have said: we would have to be careful with this one.
BUT the idea is to CO-OPT and ridicule at the same time.
CO-OPT the process by engaging it as ours. Ridicule it with the thought mentioned above: find something in every show, even or especially, silly stuff you have to stretch to complain about.
If it's not obvious that we are being extreme to prove a point, then we do come off as fellow-censors.

If you wanna hit the red staters, you gotta go after country music videos. I suggest "Stays in Mexico" by Toby Keith as the first target.

Violent advertising. Violent show trailers and boxing ads that children shouldn't see are played a lot during sporting events.
I'd like to eliminate all advertising directed at children. But I think it's easy to make a compelling case about not showing kids images of a boxer smashing someone in the head when the family is just watching some basketball --Pistons/Pacers games excepted.

I absolutely agree with this concept. This is exactly what came to mind as I read about these idiots. Someone should coordinate and pick some total stupid and arbitrary thing and blast the hell out of it. It shouldn't be just one particular show, or even anything people like us wouldn't like. Just anything.

Somebody with money should look under that rock and report back in exhaustive detail.

I think this whole FCC crack down serves two purposes for the right wing repubs:
1. its a easy and tangiable payback to the morals base that does not cost any thing.
2. its a way to prssure the networks from aggressively reporting on the admins disaster in Iraq and its regressive domestic policies.
3. Its a key diversion and cover for the really big game of 2005: The SS "reform" campaign. They need to keep the network news away from really examining it. With the dems isolated in the congress and a neutered press they can think they pass that thing quickly well in adavance of the 2006 election cycles. SS reform once passed will have a slow rollout and will be a non-issue by 2006. The disaster would be years away.

"The "vagina lockbox" was in some reference to - yep, you guessed it - Hilary. Who knows what point he was trying to make. Whoever really knows."
It may be that Rush needed the Oxycontin just to get himself into the mindset of his average listener.

I nominate the entire programming schedule of the following cable channels: CMT, OLN, SPIKE, FOX, LIFETIME, O!, WE, ESPN, ESPN2, well, just about anything but CSPAN, CSPAN 2, Natonal Geographic, Discover, History, PBS (sometimes), and a few I can't bother to think about but may watch from time to time.
Most of the stuff people watch is pure shit.

"Ann Coulter. We must protest anything she's on. She spreads virulent hatred. She recommends hitting liberals with baseball bats."
I'd like to see that cunt TRY to hit ME with a bat.
I'll jam it SO far up her bony ass she'll beg for more!

I'm waiting to hear that the networks got the go-ahead to air The Passion of the Christ. All that violence, can't be good for young minds. The fact that bloody violence is used as an evangelism device is pretty disgusting.

Oxy is terribly constipating, as I found out when I had knee surgery last year. I chose the pain over the "other" side effect. But that explains why Rush has been so cranky and bloated all these years.

I have written to complain of Fox News. How they can continue to call themselves a news organization is beyond me. Is there no value to credibility anymore?

I don't know if anyone posted this upthread, because I don't acutally have two days free with which to read the entire thread, but hopefully someone has been following along.
On Friday night, CBS broadcast a program that was funded and promoted directly, the Billy Graham Ministries. It was a show called, "A Voe to Cherish". It was broadcast and showed a commercial before and afterword for the DVD as put out by the Billy Graham.org folks.
It seems to me, that in light of recent UCC issues, this would be fair game for complaints.
Also, in light of recent revelations regarding Brent Bobblehead's activities, complaints would be apprpriate for any number of products, including Viagra, Cialis, etc., and also Victoria's Secret ads.
Also, I am positive that there are any number of things braodcast on the Today Show that would fall into this category as well.

Me - I'd find a way to go after TV shows like MTV's "I want to date your daughter", Temptation Island, Bachelor, Bachelorette, Joe Millionaire, etc. as harming the sanctity of marriage. There are hundreds of dispicable acts in each show . . . hey, if a gay man can't visit his lover in the ICU, then I don't want to see 17 year old Madison teaching her Mom how to tell boys that her daughter's body is "like woah" or how dear daughter Nicole's nickname is "ChroNicole". I also don't want to hear the sloppy slurping of kissing and oral sex on Fox. I don't want my nephews to think that love is found by your top TV producers.

fox in in Denver runs gay men meetup ads and phone sex ads late at night. It's okay with me but I think it's wrong for Fox to do it.

Thank God for A&E, Discovery, TLC, History Channel, BBC-America, etc.
I think network television is absolutely shit, except for "Law and Order" and "CSI" (I love true crime stuff; Ann Rule is my favorite author).
Those reality shows suck, big time!

Cheers,

Wow. I'm first. Or is it Frist?
Anyway, how about we target celbrity worship?
Or local stations whose idea of local news for two hours a day is fires, murder, mayhem, and celebrity gossip--complete with all the gruesome photos and film?
Is any of this really a public benefit?

It's easy: Target reality shows that feature kids.
Who's to say that these crews aren't permitting child abuse, either through putting kids through stress of being monitored 24 hours a day, or being manipulated into behaviors detrimental to their development, exaggerating their faults to make the solutions dramatic?
Wife Swap, Nanny 911 -- I'm looking at *you*.
