Stands for Fucking Crazy Clowns, the people who apparently think you excrete through your gluteus maximus:
WASHINGTON - The Federal Communications Commission has proposed a $1.4 million fine against 52 ABC Television Network stations over a 2003 broadcast of cop drama NYPD Blue.
The fine is for a scene where a boy surprises a woman as she prepares to take a shower. The scene depicted “multiple, close-up views” of the woman’s “nude buttocks” according to an agency order issued late Friday.
ABC is owned by the Walt Disney Co. The fines were issued against 52 stations either owned by or affiliated with the network.
FCC’s definition of indecent content requires that the broadcast “depicts or describes sexual or excretory activities” in a “patently offensive way” and is aired between the hours of 6 a.m. and 10 p.m.
The agency said the show was indecent because “it depicts sexual organs and excretory organs , specifically an adult woman’s buttocks.”
The agency rejected the network’s argument that “the buttocks are not a sexual organ.”
I have a wonderful abstract painting of two nudes in bright colors hanging in my office. It’s a perfectly non-offensive thing, to my mind - more geometric than anything else (the figure are faceless and blue) and also a small painting of a topless woman playing the cello. (Let me put it this way: I owned the painting for 20 years before I realized she was topless).
Anyway, one of the people I work with (a fundamentalist Christian) told me how “offensive” he finds the paintings. I just looked at him. “You know, I’m an artist. We paint nudes all the time. It’s not a big deal,” I said. “I’m surprised you feel that way.” What I was thinking was, “Hey hon, the dirt’s in your mind, not mine,” but of course was too polite to say it.
That may be the problem. We’re too polite to tell these obviously insane people that, you know, they’re fucking crazy. Somehow the nation has internalized the meme of the poor, picked-on evangelical or the poor, mistaken zealot. We are cowed into silence by our desire not to hurt their feelings, while they froth at the mouth about the ’sin-of-the-day.’ Our silence just lends credence to their twisted hatred of all things human.

Not only do these assclowns not know what a sexual or
excretory organ is, but they don’t even know what the
word “activities” means. Under their own legal definition,
nudity per se, even close-up, well-lit genital nudity, is not
obscene unless accompanied by action.
Also, showing a picture of a sweaty forehead would be
depicting excretory organs.
These aggressive moralists are so demented.
OK, I just now clicked on the image at the bottom of the post.
Susie, you are such a shameless pornographer!
