"Uh...that would be in case something breaks FCC obscenity rules which is an entity of the government which has the force of law behind it."

Actually no, you're wrong. Just last night, the NBC censor bleeped out some comments made by a rapper who did not use any obscenity. The TV networks have their own rules on appropriate speech/behaviour.

Ah-ha! So your upset about that.

In that case, NBC did the censoring themselves. And to state the obvious, they are a privately owned company and can do whatever the heck they want. Like not offend fifty percent of the country.

So if you're upset about it you need to take that up with NBC.
