Fining Every NBC-TV Station In The Country -
For Failing To Bleep The F-Word During Golden Globes Broadcast

Urgent Action Needed

parentstv.org (PTC E-Alert)

To File An Official Complaint Insisting That The FCC Enforce TV Decency Laws By Fining Every NBC-TV Station In The Country For Failing To Bleep The F**k Word During Golden Globes Broadcast.

PLEASE READ AND IMMEDIATELY TELL YOUR FRIENDS & FAMILY!!!

The Parents Television Council has denounced NBC-TV for failing to mute the "F**k" word" from Sunday night's broadcast of the Golden Globe Awards.  Bono, the lead singer of U2, said the word while accepting an award.  Until now, TV networks routinely broadcast live shows through a delay system that allows for the removal of inappropriate material. 

But last Sunday night here's what TV viewers, young and old, heard—unbleeped:

Bono: "This is really, really, f*****g brilliant."

This televised broadcast of the Golden Globe Awards turned out to be another sad addition to a long list of examples of network irresponsibility that sacrifices family viewing for raunchy programming, and yet another example of a broadcast network clearly violating federal laws prohibiting broadcast indecency, while the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) allows the incident to pass without a word.

We cannot let the networks continue to flaunt broadcast decency laws, and we cannot let the FCC continue to sit back and do nothing when they do.   We need your help today to pressure the FCC to uphold the law to keep the broadcast airwaves decent and safe for children, and put NBC on notice that this flagrant abuse of the public airwaves will not be tolerated.  NBC-TV and its affiliate stations must be held accountable for allowing extremely offensive obscenity to be aired.

I urge you and every decent, responsible parent and grandparent to help the Parents Television Council stop this outrage.  Here's how:

  1. Go to TVC and sign the OFFICIAL INDECENCY COMPLAINT against the NBC-TV network and its local affiliates with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Now!  We need to flood the FCC with complaints against this show, or before you know it filth like this will be routine on TV.

Herr webber is a classic case of a "social conservative" who has too much time on their hands and prefers to spend it running my life and the lives of others. Herr webber needs to try this simple solution, turn the channel when you find something on television you find offensive.

BTW: Abolish the Fascist Censors Commission.

Well said. If the Republican Party could rid itself of the likes of webber, its voting bloc would probably rise a few dozen percentage points.
