The FCC is a pointless vestigial organization. The fact is they were never voted into power by the american public. They were appointed. On top of that, the number of people that support the FCC in the United States represents the minority of voters. That's right, they are few and far between, just loud and vocal.
The original point of the FCC was to regulate what kind of things were broadcast onto ONE channel. Back when there only was one channel. In other words, when the public only had one thing to watch they had no choice, and subseuqently should not be forced to watch innapropriate things. However, now we have 900 channels on basic, digital cable (in my area at least) 900 channels to choose from. There's a freaking bible channel. There's a FAMILY channel. There are so many things to choose from that the FCC has no moral right to regulate television.
Anyone who doesn't want to watch violence currently has the magical ability to change the channel. The have no legal or moral standpoint and their continued existence and functionality frustrates me to no end.
That was a little rant... sorry.
But more to the subject, aside from their lack of moral and legal rights, their views are clearly in contradiction. Violence is ok, but boobies aren't. Part of a boobie is ok, but only on a dead girl. Dead girls are ok, as long as no no one says "boner" or "shit."
