Obscenity Part 2: The Revenge

[arturis]

So, upon closer inspection, there is no law against full frontal nudity on broadcast television between the hours of 10pm and 6am local time.

From the FCC (actually from the ruling I linked to in my last post, but adopted by the FCC):

According to the U.S. Supreme Court, to be obscene, material must meet a three-prong test: (1) an average person

Sweet. I suppose you can swear during the safe harbor, too. I'll just sit there with my cock out throwing down Effenheimers.

Nielsen rating: 0.

You just couldn't help yourself, could you?

That first criteria covers inspiring lustfull thoughts, which nudity often succedes at.

I find it disgusting that there's nothing in there covering violence. By those standards the FCC would be fine with networks airing the videos that inspired the Supreme Court case in your last post.

Of course not. Violence and gore are must-see prime time TV gold.

I think you mean that first criterion. Also, the word "and" means that all three are necessary.
