Nevermind that Oprah has a show every other week talking about all kinds of sex acts. I guess Oprah can say what she wants and the rest of us "litte people" are only subject to laws. All hail queen oprah

According to the FCC, Oprah is "beloved", and doesn't need to be fined.

From the article:

The commission dismissed complaints against a number of shows, including "The Oprah Winfrey Show," "Family Guy" and "The Simpsons."

Federal law and FCC rules ban radio and over-the-air television stations from airing obscene material, such as describing sexual conduct in a patently offensive way, at any time. The rules also bar stations from broadcasting indecent material - references to sex or excretions - between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m., when children might be more likely to be in the audience.

Apparently the rules do not apply to the most holy Oprah, because that is PRECISELY what she did.
