FCC Sucks, eh!

Attention Canucks: I'll be on CTV today at 4:30 PDT talking about the 12 months of nonsense wrought by Janet Jackson's areola.

[Ken Shultz]

Try to bring up the 12 minutes of nonsense wrought by Triumph The Insult Comic Dog!

...and then ask them why the people of Quebec are sabotaging the NHL talks.

[Thomas Paine's Goiter]

Make sure you remember to bring up the godaddy commercial that won't run because Bush talks to god:

The current unexplained campaign against "free speech" appears to be little more than a Madison Avenue scheme to control any discussion of the President's desire to privatize higher education.

That is, a number of for-profit colleges have faced inquiries, lawsuits and other actions calling into question the way they inflate enrollment to mislead/increase the value of their parent company's stock.

In the last year, the Career Education Corporation of Hoffman Estates, Ill., has faced lawsuits, from shareholders and students, contending that, among other things, its colleges have inflated enrollment numbers. In addition, F.B.I. agents raided 10 campuses run by ITT Educational Services of Carmel, Ind., looking for similar problems.

But there is a bigger can of worms.

Kaplan, Inc., is wholly own by the Washington Post Company. For-profit postsecondary education has turned the company around and individuals far more powerful than Martha Steward have made millions. However, there is a nominal "Watergate" styled federal court proceeding (scandal) involving campus "free speech," that could expose the administration's violation of public trust

In short, I provided the S.E.C., Department of Education, and federal courts information that appears to prove Kaplan inflated the Concord School of Law enrollment, telling investors that the ?flagship? of its higher education division has as many as 600 to 1000 or more students.

I also provided evidence to prove apparent violations of sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.

However, in an attempt to protect important icons of the Washington and New York financial/political circle, hacks have been hired to stir a free speech controversy.

But even Stan Chess (En Passant http://lawtv.typepad.com/en_passant/2004/a_question_of_l.html) innocently questioned the obvious - a clear violation of the federal securities laws.

"Kaplan's Concord School of Law says it's one of the largest law schools in the country, yet for each administration only about 25 of its graduates sit for the bar exam. What happens to the hundreds of other students in each class?"

What are you willing to do?

The problem what we got wit showing Janet Jackson's areola on the tube is cause of the white mans racism. If she had be a white bitch, she be able to strip naked and it not be a problem. It is all cause of the descrimination what the white man got.

I think the problem was really that it was a surgery-marred, nasty sagging breast.

If it was a young, perky, natural breast, it would have been fine.

[Thomas Paine's Goiter]

Someone hates Kaplan schools.

[aBreastMan]

I reviewed all angles and found them to be quite inviting,,,,, oh never mind we've been through all this before.

one man's treasure is another man's "surgery-marred, nasty sagging breast".

[NoStar]

I found the misogyny of the dance number that preceded the exposed breast to be offensive. The breast on it's own was quite harmless.

Now, if it can be shown that the dance was a recreation of Dominique Francon's inner turmoil then it would be all right.

Still, during a football broadcast I only expect to see boobs in the announcing booth.

I agree.

I was thinking when I read the article about the woman who was suing CBS, "Jesus H. Christ, they dryhumped for twenty fucking minutes and you're worried about the effect 83 microseconds of exposed tit will have on you fucking kid? What the fuck?"

[Amy Alkon]

Excuse me for asking what might seem like a dumb question, but how, exactly, are children harmed by seeing a bit of booby? (Please, somebody, do answer that. I really have no idea.) There's exposed booby over much of Europe -- I don't see kids going to pieces there. In fact, pregnancy, disease, and abortion rates there pale by comparison to ours. Could (gasp!) a little information and exposure -- and a lack of prohibition -- be a very good thing? PS Be sure to get your pillules de lendemain (morning-after pills) when you're in France. Just walk into a pharmacy and ask for them -- get a dozen and pass them out to your fertile female friends! No prescription necessary in France, and nobody makes you go to a clinic and pee in a cup. No, they treat you like an adult, in charge of your own sexuality, not a nursery school ward of the state. Oh - a warning -- when the pharmacist turns white at the large quantity you're buying, and scolds you that they are not meant to be used for regular birth control, just emergencies...just tell him you're from the Puritanical States of America, where primitive religious fanatics have their hot little hands on our health care.

Loved the GoDaddy spot. What was the reason for rejection?

[Barry P.]

I don't want to be pedantic or anything, but wasn't the areola covered up by that star/brooch thingy? Wasn't it just the central nipple, and outer breast that was exposed?

BTW, I remember seeing more booby in one evening's TV in a Toronto airport hotel room than over four years in the US. And I wasn't even trying.
