Will the PTC Reign of Terror Ever End?

Too funny.

I feel really sorry for the guy, as he could become most famous for being the man with the "virtually undetectable" penis.

At least when Jaye Davidson did a frontal nude scene in The Crying Game and some people still thought he was a woman, he got a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination to make up for it.

They must really like penis if they're going through a has-been show with a fine tooth comb.

Yes, they should because a fleeting, barely even noticeable glimpse of a man's penis will make children grow up to be rapists and child molesters as opposed to raising them in a healthy, normal environment where even the mere implied mention of sex will get you six lashes with the belt.

We can only hope that Obama's election as president and likely reassignment of a head of the FTC will end this puritanical annoyance soon. I mean how ludicrous is this:

Another "Wardrobe Malfunction" Hits CBS

1 October 2008 10:44 AM, PDT

Another apparent "wardrobe malfunction" has gotten CBS into another battle with the Parents Television Council, which filed an indecency complaint against the network with the FCC on Tuesday. The PTC filed its complaint after a brief scene in last Thursday night's Survivor: Gabon, showing a contestant running in his boxer shorts, revealed a glimpse of his penis. CBS said that until the scene was posted on YouTube and other sites it had "received one viewer comment from the 13 million who watched the telecast." The network's statement said: "This was a completely unintentional, inadvertent and fleeting incident that was virtually undetectable when viewed in real-time." The PTC responded: "CBS' decision to hide behind excuses that the incident was 'fleeting' and didn't generate an immediate flood of complaints is the epitome of irresponsibly. The number of 'fleeting' penises we expect to see on broadcast television is zero." In fact the show was seen by fewer people than any previous Survivor season debut. For the first time, the premiere did not land in Nielsen's top ten.
