FCC APPROVES USE OF THE "F" WORD ON TV AND RADIO!

FCC APPROVES USE OF THE "F" WORD ON TV AND RADIO!

The Federal Communications Commission has approved the use of the "F" word for use on any TV show or radio program, ANYTIME DAY OR NIGHT!

The FCC said the word can be used whenever desired except in sexual situations!

>>That means that real soon you will be watching a sit-com on TV, or news, or any drama or movie-ANY PROGRAM-and it*s ok! Hollywood is rejoicing!

>>Soon, when you are driving your kids to school you will be listening to a song which makes extensive use of the word.

>>Shock jocks such as Howard Stern are now free to use any language, no matter how vile and repugnant, on their radio shows. And use it they will.

>>No longer will movies shown on TV have to be edited because of language.

WE MUST ACT NOW TO STOP THIS!

Send your letter to your Congressman, Senators and members of the FCC.

Let them know that you want this stopped-NOW!

Please send your letter now. And please forward this letter to your email list asking them to get involved.

If it isn*t stopped now, in a few months verbal pornography will rule the airways!

Please act today. Help us get 1,000,000 email letters to members of Congress, Senators and FCC Commissioners.


Thanks for getting involved!

I've heard the F-bomb on the radio my entire life. Nothing new here. Anyone know the song "Who are you?" by the Who?

This is truly insane. Is there no one who cares about the upbringing and values of our families? Who is succeeding in doing these things? Thanks for the post, I hope enough of us will write to change this rule. The degeneration is on the fast track to...Yuck!

Technology and the market come to the rescue again. Now we can get satellite radio and only listen to those stations we trust.

Good.

Now turn off the f***ing TV and stop watching the garbage those folks peddle and tell your kids to get off their f***ing butts and read a book - or at the very least, watch programs that are informative.

"It truely is the most versatile word in the English language."

Commonly used as a verb, a noun, an adjective, an adverb and an expletive. Indeed, it may well be the single most versatile word of all! Still, I just don't know about letting it be broadcast willy-nilly all over the "public" airwaves. Just doesn't seem right.

Do some research before posting. This is not true

I don't agree with this decision but does it really matter if they allow the "F" word on TV and radio freely? Kids already hear it at school and other places already.

"I've heard the F-bomb on the radio my entire life."

How old are you? 6 months? What is the F-bomb?

I am 59, and do not recall ever hearing the f word on radio or TV. I have heard it bleeped out, even on Stern's TV show...Maybe in rap songs, but I do not listen to that, and doubt that I could hear it anyway.
