The FCC wants the opening ceremony of the 2004 Summer Olympics

Why cause their was content that might considered DIRTY!!!!

Here in America if a woman flashes her chest she might got hand cuffed and hauled off to the police officers station. Got to protect her from men who might get "turned on" I guess.

Has anyone took a course in world history (or even Art History)??? If that course included something on the ancient Greeks they would tell you that these Greeks were not ashamed of their bodies, nor was not uncommon for them to be in the nude. Look at the art for crying out loud.

Look just because Adam and Eve (if they did exist) were embarresed of their nakedness after eating the "forbidden fruit" does not mean their decendents (that would be all of us) were. We are just not able to overcome our Purtain past, and yes those who called themselves Purtains did shape the way our country's customs for better or worse. We just can't put witches to death. Thank goodness because someone that claims to be into Wicca did more for me than most people that call themselves put of the "religious right." Plus I am proud to call her a friend. Yes friends its a she.

Anyway Neal Boortz has lots to say about the Greeks and those who want to punish NBC because Greek culture might be PORN!!! He also show that one group is truly getting the grease because its members are the ones complaining.

It is called "Here Comes The Federal Censorship Commission Again"

This time the FCC is snooping around the opening ceremony for the Summer Olympics. They're investigating complaints of indecency and they want tapes from NBC. And just what was the indecency? It seems that two opening ceremony actors depicted two lovers dancing in the sea. One was the goddess of fertility and the other was a pregnant woman with a glowing stomach.

My guess is that the indecency complaints were filed by the Parent's Television Council. If you visit the Parent's Television Council website you will see a headline which reads "News Stories Try to Downplay Outrage over TV Indecency Even While FCC Complaints Soar." What the story doesn't explicitly mention is that about 99% of the complaints are being filed by Parent's Television Council members. I think it's safe to assume that these members are being encouraged to file those complaints. There's a link on the Parent's Television Council website for you to "File an FCC Complaint." The Parent's Television Council also seems to be targeting South Park.

How about a Parent's Responsibility Council? How about parents getting together to share ways that they can control television use in their own homes? Maybe one parent can share stories with another parent about how to use the built in controls most televisions have that won't permit the children to access certain channels! Who knows, maybe parents can even share stories about how they control the number of hours their children can use the "plug-in-drug" every week. If these parents are really concerned maybe they need to remove televisions from every room in their home except the parent's bedroom. There's something to be said for getting the TV out of the parent's bedroom too. I wonder how many marriages out there would improve immediately if all TVs were removed from bedrooms.

I'm not supporting the Parent's Television Council's position here, but I can make the case that insofar as children are concerned, the television has been one of the most negative technological improvements of the last 100 years. Simply put, televisions rob children of their minds. When a child reads he uses his powers of imagination. With every page, with every scene presented in the book the child involuntarily creates a mental image and puts that image into real-time motion. We put faces and voices with characters and create elaborate mental images of the interaction between them. The same can be said about radio. You listen with your ears, and create the moving images in your mind to fill in the rest. Years ago old Stan Freeberg created a promotional radio spot featuring a helicopter dropping a giant cherry onto the top of a mountain-sized ice cream sundae. Any child -- any parent listening to that created the mental image of the cherry under the helicopter and the drop.

Man cannot accomplish that which he does not first imagine, and when we rob our children of their powers of imagination we limit their potential for achievement. Television uses the visual as well as the aural senses. The person watching a television show has no need to crank up the imagination for anything. The scene is presented to you in its entirety. You just sit there like a lump and soak it up. Not much mind-stretching there.

But back to the Parent's Television Council and its campaign. We Americans are prudes. We need to get over it. We can watch movie after show after movie on television showing graphic violence. We can watch women being raped, people getting murdered, and nobody seems to get all that upset. But show two people making love and the world is about to come to an end. Show a gaping, sucking chest gunshot wound and all is fine. Show a breast and its the end of human civilization. If you read the story on the Parent's Television Council website you'll see L. Brent Bozell (whom I generally admire, by the way) compare the baring of Janet Jackson's breast to the Exxon Valdez disaster. Tell me again, how many waterfowl were killed by Janet's breast?
