But some forms might be. Yet, as you say a particular community has the right to decide which censorship it wishes to embrace in it's attempt to reduce harm to it's citizens.

This was no-less than a bait-and-switch event. When I want to see breasts or simulated sex acts I'll not be tuning into a football game. If I said I was going to build a pool for you and put a roof on your house instead, you'd have plenty of reason to complain.

Federal government control and regulation of broadcast media is necessary from a purely technical standpoint.

Therefore, it is the Federal governments' responsiblity to insure that the only broadcast media available to the general public (because of that regulation), does not contain content which is known to be offensive to the vast majority.

The RULES where very clear. They were deliberately disregarded in order to be SHOCKING.

The punishment should be equaly SHOCKING.
