Sweet, Sweet Non-Obscene Justice

And justice is finally served. To summarize, the FCC has been royally violated by the appellate courts. Someone has finally stood up to the righteous bunch of morons and their little crusade to transform America into a nation of prudes. The court struck down the ridiculous fines imposed over the infamous Janet Jackson Super Bowl incident, which was no worse than what Lil Kim showed up to music awards wearing years ago. That received national media attention, so the Super Bowl isn't much worse. Sure, kids were watching, but better to see boring depravity with the whole family.

Of course, this won't slow down the FCC that much, I'm sure, at least until a change of administration. Thus, I'm linking to a video for Eric Idle's wonderfully NSFW FCC song: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3196375205651632554. Now one must wonder if the judge who brought this decision was the one with which Idle went duck hunting.
