Many of you remember the infamous wardrobe malfunction at the 2004 Super Bowel halftime show. You may also remember that the FCC levied a fine against CBS for them broadcasting it. Well the federal appeals court, in all of it's wisdom, has overturned the fine. Specifically it was the third circuit that made the ruling. I think this is unbelievable. Either the FCC has the power to levy fines or they don't. The government can't under cut the authority of the FCC by overturning a fine that they finally had the guts to implement.
There is currently a bill called Senate Bill 1780 that would toughen the standards on tv during prime time. I encourage you to investigate it and then call the congress switch board (202) 224-3121 and encourage Sen. Reede to put it up for a vote, and encourage your senators to support it.
