Is the FCC going too far? The FCC will begin an investigation into NBC's coverage of the Olympic opening ceremony which featured a pregnant woman whose belly glowed. In our opinion, the FCC needs to slow down. They are veering dangerously close to censorship. Janet Jackson was one thing. But the Olympics?

I'm glad they're finally doing something. Television stations seem to be in a mad sprint to showcase every foulmouthed word and act of debauchery known.

In this specific case it seems to me that they're getting overzealous. They need to be careful not to try to punish everything that hints at degradation or they'll be seen as fanatical nuts and pushed into irrelevance.

I remember when the Phillip Morris company threatened to yank their advertising dollars if Desi and Lucy were shown laying in the same bed or if Lucy showed off the fact that she was pregnant. That was just 1960. I'm not saying we need to return to that, but the number of shows applauding homosexuality, infidelity, fornication, and other lava soft vagina-friendly feminist crap is absurd.

Sometimes I wonder where the FCC will go NEXT!, and NEXT, and NEXT and so on!

Don't you?

There's freedom and there's what the government decides what I can see and cannot.

The FCC should stay out.!
