Hey, Mr. FCC, while your at it...

FCC Chairman Michael Powell said that the FCC will be investigating the, um, body modification promo that inadvertantly aired during the half time show during the SuperBowl. The good chairman says, and I quote:

"Like millions of Americans, my family and I gathered around the television for a celebration," FCC Chairman Michael Powell said in a statement. "Instead, that celebration was tainted by a classless, crass and deplorable stunt. Our nation's children, parents and citizens deserve better.

Hear hear! I couldn't agree more, so while you're busy investigating Ms. Jackson's breast, would you mind investigating the classless, crass and deplorable commercials too? Particularly the ad of the referee getting yelled at by his wife, and the horse/fart/candle ad. Thank you!

i also read an official quote somewhere that mentioned something about americans gathered around for an evening supper as they were exposed to this.

who even has an evening supper anymore? now that's the shocking news.

I totally believe that Michael Powell was just about ready to pick up the phone to his office right before the out-take-scene-round-the-world aired.

Really.

If it hadn't happened, he was still gonna "get tough".

Without a doubt.
