The Federal Communications Commission will look into how 30 seconds of porn star Evan Stone whipping out his thunderstick wound up on the televisions of Tucson Comcast subscribers during the Super Bowl. In order to come to a decision, FCC agents will have to watch the clip over and over. In private. With lube.
Maybe it's the same impulse that makes us want to say homophobes are secretly homosexual, but don't these FCC cats seem pretty pervy? Otherwise, why would they have to do large-scale investigations into nipples and penises? Seriously. Some dude at Comcast thought this would be funny. If they know who it is, he's been fired. Unless he had a really fantastic explanation. What's to investigate? Here's what Dan Isett of the Parents Television Council has to say:
This is a case of someone deliberately putting obscenity on a cable network, and because it aired over a cable station, the FCC doesn't have jurisdiction. They can only fine broadcasters for material like that. However, there are some that think this may be cause for an obscenity prosecution which is different from broadcast indecency which would require bringing in the Justice Department.
Yeah, bring in the Justice Department, for this major injustice. Meanwhile, Senator Sam Brownback of Kansas, who finished something like sixteenth in the race for the Republican Presidential nomination, is calling for a government probe. Great idea, not like there are any more pressing matters for the government to attend to.
Although, if a government probe also requires lubing up, we're all for it.
