Slashdot | Senate Committee Passes FCC Indecency Bill:

"US Senate Commerce Committee today passed a bill that would allow the FCC to fine broadcasters for slip of the tongue expletives [CC] [MD] [GC], negating a ruling by federal appeals court in New York that commission's policy on 'fleeting expletives' is arbitrary and capricious. 'A mandate by Congress that a "fleeting expletive" can now be found indecent will create a vast chilling effect on broadcast speech, the advocacy group Center for Democracy and Technology claims. CDT points out that prior to this bill and the FCC's policy change, the FCC exercised discretion in determining which utterances were indecent, and consistently found that one-time uses of curse words were not indecent.'"

(give your selves the effectively now permanent 4 second delay...)

Hey Senate Commerce Committee: GO FUCK YOURSELVES!

p.s., that wasn't a slip of the tongue.
