Fox TV's Slip of the Lens

[Hardrock69]

Could Fox TV be in for the FCC's first $325,000 language fine? Yes, if the Parent's Television Council has its way. During the coverage of an NFL playoff game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the New Orleans Saints, a camera lens came to rest on a fan with a "Fuck Da Eagles" T-shirt, and the PTC is up in arms: youtube link of the Fox shot.

As PTC put it on a urgent action call to its members, "Fox deliberately displays the 'f-word' during prime time football game." A crowd shot lingered for about five seconds on a female football fan wearing a t-shirt that said "F*** DA EAGLES." PTC said, "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 culled 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." Fox apologized, saying, "The shot was inadvertent and unintentional and we apologize."

Looking at the video I suspect that camera operator was far more interested in the possibility that her shirt might come up another inch allowing her tits to pop out (nothing wrong with that!)

Nothing will come of it-it's Faux. CBS would have been forced onto short-wave radio.

Unintentional? I say, great camera work.

The FTC needs to calm the fuck down. And go away. Permanently.

Seriously, what a fucking joke. Wasn't it Carlin who said "How can anyone have a problem with the word 'Fuck'?!? I mean...people DO, y'know!"

I'm always offended when "the" is replaced by "da". I'm outraged and FOX will be hearing from me.

At least she's spreading a positive message through the country.

If your child is too young to know that word, since you can't clearly see the F, you could "poopoo" the issue and say "Oh, it said 'Puck the Eagles' like, you know, tackle them so hard it felt like getting hit with a hockey puck." The kid is likely to believe it, not knowing the word.

If the kid's old enough to know that it said "Fuck", then they know the word and aren't going to go around using it all the time. They might talk w/ friends "Did you see the word 'fuck' on TV yesterday?" or something. They're not going to carry on all of a sudden (or forever) because it appeared on TV for 5 seconds.

I know the PTC thinks it has children's interests at the heart of all its decisions. You want to take care of those kids? Make sure their parents are being fucking responsible, you fucking fuckheads! There are so many parents that parent with the TV, DVDs, or just leaving the kids to their own devices. Make them be responsible. Talk to kids. Enforce rules. Discuss choices and which to make and when to make them.

Jeez, what a bunch of fuckwads!
