The Federal Communications Commission has set up a special Web site devoted to obscenity, indecency and profanity, bragging of the $8 million in fines the agency levied last year against purveyors of smut over the airwaves. Unfortunately, they don't offer any real-world examples of what said smut looks or sounds like, but rather stick to descriptive language that is almost comically euphemistic and clinical. Just one example: "The FCC [has] warned broadcasters that, depending on the context, it would consider the 'F-Word' and those words (or variants thereof) that are as highly offensive as the 'F-Word' to be 'profane language' that cannot be broadcast between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m." I'm imagining the looks of disappointment on the faces of random Googlers when the search terms they enter result in this page popping up.
