Wired News: An Obscene Waste of Energy
Wired News: An Obscene Waste of Energy
This is a very interesting article about how the FCC should be done away with. I have to say, I find that to be an intriguing possibility. I mean, I suppose those of my ilk are in an awkward position, because we don't really think of Janet Jackson's nipple as obscene per se... But still. I've never really believed in one entity having such power over what we are and are not exposed to. Networks can be policed by public opinion, people writing letters and suchlike, but it's ridiculous to be preemptive about it.
Again, I guess I can't speak for much of America, because I really don't understand why we're so afraid of breasts. Everyone who was breast fed has fondled a pair. And sex? If you exist, someone must have had sex to bring you here. Why be so terrified of it?
I'm getting off-track, aren't I? It all comes down to my complete lack of understanding of Republicans and religious fundamentalists.
