Turn the channel. (shields up!)
It's much better to have a "small minority of agenda-driven Americans" take CHRIST out of Christmas, promote a pro-gay agenda in public schools, keep the Boy Scouts out of public parks in San Diego, demand election recounts ad nauseum around the country, etc.
What a load of horse poop! I almost filed an objection via that site because it's easier - not because I'm part of a small "agenda driven minority". Keep it up CNN, keep it up...
Hmmmm.
Interesting. My prediction: TV will go on as it has. Money talks.
Could somebody post the address of the complaint site, or am I just missing it?

LOL!
Shrek, and the Sir Mix Alot "Music Video" therein...
Hasn't the same thing been going on at least since Michelangelo's "David"? There was no FCC then, though, and the current crap of broadcasters are no Michelangelos. That's what one should be after - their lack of ability and merit, not their content.

PETA People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals CBS rejected PETA's ad, which the animal rights group wanted to run during Super Bowl XXXVIII. The ad, in which two scantily clad women try to seduce a pizza man but discover that he can't deliver "the goods," is intended to make the point that eating meat causes impotence. |

"Bouncing for Dollars" production seriously delayed

I'm not sure about that. Ability and merit are rewarded economically. Circuses have always been popular, and not all artistic endeavors will stand the test of time.
Most of commercial broadcasting is junk, so I don't watch it. However, I'm not sure that I'm interested in insisting that others don't watch it.
As for the exposed breast at the game or the occasional expletive that makes it onto the tube, well, I'm not concerned all that much. I saw the Jackson exposure, and wasn't even sure what had been shown. It was so small on my TV that it had no impact at all. If someone drops an F-bomb during an awards show, I won't see it. I don't watch those programs.
I've long been a proponent of people watching what they want to watch on television and shutting off what they don't want to watch. If I had young children, they'd watch television on my terms only. It's so easy to do these days.
Right now, I'm putting on my flame-proof underwear.
So, you're saying the Jackson thing still applies.....

Anyone who has a problem with that should feel free to start up their own organization to make it easier to file "attaboys" with the FCC.
The mere fact that "all" the complaints come through the same channel does nothing to invalidate the complaints. PTC or not, the complainants are individual citizens.
Unfortunately, the purveyors and proponents of indecency will refuse to see it that way.
Well, have you found any merit and ability in the Jackson thing? If there was any, it escaped me.
