Interesting thing I heard today...

Absent the Super Bowl nipplegate scandal, over 99.86% of the complaints filed with the FCC this year all originated from the Parent's Television Council.

Who are they?

[elwoodblues]

They're some watchdog group that rates tv programs for family friendliness. The have an Alert feature where people can be sent e-mails when offending material airs. From what I understand, the alerts have a link to file a complaint with the FCC.

I saw that too. The FCC's "we'll only investigate something if there's a complaint" strategy may be backfiring on them. The indecency police mobilized and they're overrun with complaints now.

[ThaSaltCracka]

that sounds pretty silly.
