I may get fined $1.4 million for this

Four years ago, NYPD Blue showed a scene that included Charlotte Ross' bare body. As a result, the economy failed, every child was left behind, crime skyrocketed, and liberty itself was threatened. At least, that's the idea you'd get from the actions of the US government.

The Federal Communications Commission has proposed a $1.4 million fine against 52 ABC Television Network stations over a 2003 broadcast of cop drama NYPD Blue. The fine is for a scene where a boy surprises a woman as she prepares to take a shower. The scene depicted “multiple, close-up views” of the woman’s “nude buttocks” according to an agency order issued late Friday.

Why is it that the dirty old men in Washington hang on every naked buttock as though the nude human form is something dangerous, yet they constantly ignore the thousands of acts of violence to which children are exposed all the time? What kind of screwed up morality is that?

So, I'm going to risk a big FCC fine here, but here is the scene in question.
