Thats freaking rediculous. I mean, I think people who listen to the show know what they are getting, thats so stupid. Its not like a family friendly show and hes saying this stuff, I can understand being upset at S.B, but this is freaking rediculous

Yes, we all know that parents don't let their children listen to him, but violating the FCC indecency rules, gives the ground to take him off the air. They have to do this because it is the rules. Personally, if I didn't like his type of broadcasting I would just stay away from it, but I guess he went a little too far. Rules are rules.

But what are the rules?? Nobody seems to know when it comes to the FCC until they determine something to be offensive after the fact. I was listening to the show on Tues and it was certainly nothing out of the ordinary for Stern.

If it's nothing out of the ordinary (and I'm sure it wasn't) then it probably was some listener who heard it and complained. It sounded like it was offensive to women, and whoever complained probably complained to the FCC.

TITLE 47--TELECOMMUNICATION

CHAPTER I--FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

PART 1--PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE--Table of Contents

Subpart A--General Rules of Practice and Procedure

Sec. 1.24 Censure, suspension, or disbarment of attorneys.

(1) Does not possess the qualifications required by Sec. 1.23;
(2) Has failed to conform to standards of ethical conduct required
of practitioners at the bar of any court of which he is a member;
(3) Is lacking in character or professional integrity; and/or
(4) Displays toward the Commission or any of its hearing officers
conduct which, if displayed toward any court of the United States or any

We are slowly losing our freedoms everyday and becomming (though slowly) more like Iraq with each passing day.

It's alright, Bush finally slipped under 50% in the polls and doesn't look to be making a huge run with this recession we're still in.
