Fox Deliberately Displays the 'F-Word' During Prime Time Football Game

File An Official Complaint With The FCC Today!

Dear Emit,

It used to be that you could sit down and watch an evening football game with your children without fear of them being exposed to inappropriate material. Sadly, that's no longer the case as was proven Saturday night during the Fox broadcast of the NFL playoff game between the New Orleans Saints and the Philadelphia Eagles.

During a cutaway shot to the stadium spectators, the camera focused directly on a woman wearing a t-shirt clearly inscribed with the words "F--k Da Eagles" (without the dashes). The shot stayed focused on the woman and her shirt for several seconds. There can be no doubt that this was an intentional airing of patently offensive language on the public airwaves, as the person wearing the profane t-shirt was chosen by Fox Network's broadcast crew from more than 70,000 spectators in the stadium. The camera operator selected that particular woman and the director and/or producers of the event made an affirmative and conscious decision to air the shot from that particular camera, forcing the f-word into millions of homes. Furthermore, the v-chip would not and could not have protected children and families from the type of content evidenced here.

Fans on the East Coast saw this obscenity televised during the Family Hour (8:30 p.m. ET) -- but it aired at 5:30 p.m. in the evening on the West Coast.

I'm an Eagles fan and I think that shirt is hilarious. Sports is all about trash talk.

Note to the American Family Association:

So your kids saw the word, "fuck" - big deal! It probably wasn't the first time they saw/heard that word and I can guarantee you that it won't be the last. Look at it this way: it could be worse. They could have been doing it instead of reading it. :evilgrin:

Seriously ... with all the SHIT going on in this country and this world, is this the only thing they have to get riled up about? Get a life! :eyes:
