Um, don't you want to send them to the FTC? The FCC gives out fines for saying naughty words on the TV and radio, they don't deal with spammers & scammers...
Huh, I had no idea this episode had the shooters turning into blackface in it. Growing up, all the channels that played this episode ended it after bugs sang the first line to that song. This was in the '80s, on New York Metro TV stations.
Looks like PC censorship of the old cartoons goes back a lot further.
My take is slightly different: I believe they were afraid to fail.
Given what little we do know about the endless delays -- that they switched the basic engine from Quake II to Unreal to Unreal Tournament to Quake III to one being built solely in-house, and had to restart level work every time, I believe that this was driven by the fear that the game would be a failure. Duke 3D was a smash it. It put them on the map. And they promised to themselves and their fans that DNF would be even better. So, they couldn't stand the thought of it possibly being a flop; it had to be a #1 bestseller, and every game reviewer had to be able to rant and rave at how much more amazing it was over D3D or any other FPS for that matter. And every year that passed, and every time they got more and more ridiculed at its "vaporware" status, it hardened their resolve that the game must not be a failure, or even mediocre, under any circumstance whatsoever. And that mentality paralyzed them, and caused them to essentially re-write and re-write the game, until the weight of it all finally caused them to collapse
The unfortunate fact of the matter is, unless a special prosecutor indicts Bush on something blatantly criminal, like murdering someone, the Democrats simply did not win enough seats back in either the House or the Senate to impeach him. This is the real reason why Pelosi won't consider starting articles of impeachment, and not because she is "weak willed" or "caved in to the administration", as Sheenan would have you think. Sad, but true.

If you know you had the STD and did not warn your partner than yes, if the partner dies (before you do) you can be charged with murder.
