But in a free society, these annoyances are naturally regulated in the marketplace of people’s reactions—as Don Imus, Michael Richards, and Ann Coulter recently learned the hard way. It’s not clear why swearing on the airwaves should be the government’s business.But what’s even more fascinating to me is how BAD the FCC is at this regulation, as I posted HERE about the hypocrisy of how they handle “goddamn” and "n---er," and the shocking offensiveness of how they dealt with “shine” in The Sopranos.
Basically, it all seems like a big clusterfuck wherein the only constant is righteous indignation. Makes no sense at all, and we haven't even gotten to Janet Jackson's titty yet.
