Penny Nance, who describes herself as a religious conservative and has been a vocal opponent of racy images on television, has been hired by the Federal Communications Commission as a part-time adviser to its Office of Strategic Planning and Policy Analysis, Mediaweek reported Monday. Last January, in a letter to President Bush, Nance complained of a "huge indecency problem" on basic cable and said that networks should restore the 8:00 p.m. family hour. In an Op-Ed piece published in the Washington Times three years ago, Nance wrote, "Sexual themes and even soft-core pornography are rampant on shows such as CBS' Survivor and MTV's Real World." She also stated: "There are plenty of cases where television content violates the FCC's standards, there have been countless cases over the past decade or more. But the FCC hasn't acted on a single complaint." Her comments were made before the to-do over the Janet Jackson Super Bowl incident.

FCC Hires Christian Activist As Advisor on Indecency Issues
The Federal Communications Commission has hired an anti-pornography activist and lobbyist to work as an advisor of indecency issues. The hiring of Penny Nance is expected to expand the FCC's campaign to fight what it views as indecent broadcasts. Penny Nance founded the Kids First Coalition and until recently served as a board member of Concerned Women For America. That group describes its mission as helping QUOTE "to bring Biblical principles into all levels of public policy."

Or perhaps "Highway to Heaven"?

10. An alternative newspaper in my town always referred to TBAA as

"Touched in the Swimsuit Area by an Angel" I have always thought of it as that since, and if I can make at least ONE OTHER PERSON to think of its title that way, then my life here on this earth will not have been wasted.O8)
