Senate Committee Passes FCC Indecency Bill

An anonymous reader writes "US Senate Commerce Committee today passed a bill that would allow the FCC to fine broadcasters for slip of the tongue expletives, negating a ruling by federal appeals court in New York that commission's policy on 'fleeting expletives' is arbitrary and capricious. 'A mandate by Congress that a "fleeting expletive" can now be found indecent will create a vast chilling effect on broadcast speech, the advocacy group Center for Democracy and Technology claims. CDT points out that prior to this bill and the FCC's policy change, the FCC exercised discretion in determining which utterances were indecent, and consistently found that one-time uses of curse words were not indecent.'"

    If any on what you said were true, you'd be executed for what you said.

    Which I would be perfectly happy with, as you're obviously a waste of resources.

    Lastly, you're free to leave if you hate it so much. Loser punk-ass cocksuckers like you always like to bitch, from the safety of their living room.

    You're nothing but a whining fuck, thinking that joining some stupid movement no one has heard from or cares about will make any kind of difference.

    Shut up before you say something else stupid.
