Family Group Applauds FCC's Fines

I'm not sure what about this is the most stupid. The FCC having to take 15 years to decide an old TV show aired something it shouldn't have aired or this nitwit group bitching about it for 15 years. Okay, I can almost agree that the public airways need monitoring otherwise some pea brain would put something out there just for shock value to get rating. But if it takes 15 years for the FCC to figure this out then what's the point? The show is off the air and no one but one or two lawyers still arguing it even know about it. I doubt anyone who complained even remember (let alone saw) the original episode.

The American Family Association (AFA) applauded the Federal Communications Commission on Friday for its decision that ABC network stations violated federal broadcast decency laws.

“When ABC affiliate stations agreed to broadcast nudity during the February 25, 2003, episode of 'NYPD Blue,' they violated a sacred trust to serve the public interest,” says AFA chairman Donald E. Wildmon. “Viewers, especially parents, have held accountable the local station for what it broadcasts over the publicly-owned airwaves.”

The FCC levied a $20,000 fine against 20 ABC affiliates in response to 40,661 complaints received about the program by AFA supporters.

In the series, Detective Andy Sipowicz has a live-in sex partner, another detective named Connie. Connie drops her bathrobe in the bathroom, offering full rear and side nudity. Andy's six-year-old son comes into the bathroom and gawks at the naked woman. She turns full face to the camera as she covers her private parts with her hands.
