Funny and entertaining is subjective. With that said, I detest the Howard Stern show. However, I dislike the knee-jerk reaction to the JJ peep show on the Super Bowl. I find equally disturbing the direction this whole fiasco is headed. If Clear Channel wishes to fire or suspend their hired help that is their business. When the government steps in to begin a censorship of sorts, then I begin to get nervous. The first amendment is not to be tampered with. If you don't like the smut change the channel or turn to another station. It is all about ratings and monies from advertising. If the shows are not listened too or the advertisers ignored, then let that be the voice of reason. Not the government. God, help me I can't believe I am in Howard Sterns court, but in this case, our freedom of speech is far more precious than the firing of a foul mouth, shock jock of Howard Sterns ilk.

Government steps in from the very beginning and controls what is seen and heard on the public air waves when it grants a license to station ownership applicant A over station ownership applicant B. Applicant A gets to say things on the air and applicant B doesn't.
There is no right to free speech on somebody else's private property and there is no absolute right to free speech on public property, obscenity being a case in point.
If somebody wants to push pornography outside an elementary school, then laws prohibiting such are appropriate. And many such laws have been around since the days of our founding fathers.
