The FCC (Federal Communications Commission), a branch of the federal government, has leveled a fine against ABC for a scene in an episode of NYPD Blue in which a woman’s butt was shown in all of its naked glory (see the frame grabs below). In a statement released by the FCC this past Friday the purveyors of moral decency on the airwaves had this to say: “We find that the programming at issue is within the scope of our indecency definition because it depicts sexual organs and excretory organs — specifically an adult woman’s buttocks. Although ABC argues, without citing any authority, that the buttocks are not a sexual organ, we reject this argument, which runs counter to both case law and common sense.”
In case none of you fully comprehend what that means…it means the FCC, a branch of the U.S. Government, recognizes the buttocks as a sexual organ. This means that our government recognizes sexual intercourse of the buttocks (also know as anal sex and butt-fucking) as a legitimate form of copulation. I find that interesting, since in many states it is illegal for a man to place his penis anywhere accept the vagina of the woman he is married to. I also find it interesting (and by “interesting” I really mean “disgustingly hypocritical”) that the FCC says that it is okay to consider the ass a sex organ, as long as it means they can fine ABC 1.43 million dollars, while at the same time it is against the law in Maryland for an unmarried man and woman to spend the night together in a hotel room.
