FCC on the road to excessive censorship

The FCC has requested numerous tapes from broadcasters that might include vulgar remarks from unruly spectators, coaches, and athletes at live sporting events, industry sources said.

Tapes requested by the commission include football games and NASCAR races where the participants or the crowds let loose with an expletive.

It seems that the new rules that went into effect in 2004 now virtually cover any use of certain expletives that are considered to be profane and indecent, even if it is a slip of the tongue.

Holy sh*t! Bollux, if these rules went into effect in the UK, every fan would be arrested. Many of the football chants and songs contain expletives up the creek, and it's all part of the game. When the referee makes a bad call, the whole home crowd would be yelling "The referee's a wanker! The referee's a wanker!"

There are many football (soccer) songs out there, but when I was in the UK, I am a passionate fan of West Ham United, a football club in East London. Some of our favorite songs:

Up your arse oh up your arse,
stick your blue flag up your arse!
From Stamford bridge to Upton Park
stick your blue flag up your arse!

I'm forever blowing bubbles,
Pretty bubbles in the air,
They fly so high,
They nearly reach the sky
And like my dreams they fade and die!
Fortunes always hiding,
I've looked every where.
I'm forever blowing bubbles,
Pretty bubbles in the air!
United! United!

But in any English match, you're bound to hear, "F*ck off!" "You're sh*t!" "Wanker!" "C*nt!"

If Americans cannot handle the swearing, then we are wussies!

FCC should just sit down and shut up, sit down shut up (reprise). chant "la la la la la" . "If you hate FCC, stand up!, if you hate FCC, stand up!"
