agreed

WTF that's the most retarded complaint I've ever read. The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue show has been on for a long time now. WTF do these people think of Baywatch? What about drama TV shows with partial nudity? At least with the VS Fashion Show, any sexual connotations were not at all explicit. Unlike most sitcoms nowadays where casual references to sexual acts are common. Jeeze these people are dumb.

So if 300 people had such a huge problem with it, they should have changed the channel.

Nobody tied their arms down & their eyelids open to make them watch.

I think CBS acted shamefully and certainly not in the public interest,

um, where'd they get THIS bit of info?

this is EXACTLY in the scope of "public interest"

There's problably 300 people out there who would complain to the FCC about the latest Doctor Quinn: Medicine Woman.

12.4 million. This means exactly 0.00242% of the viewers were offended enough to write an email. How that number warrants a total overhaul of programming standards is beyond me.

The FCC's only concern should be that they are broadcasting on their assigned frequencies at the permitted power.

You have to think it is amusing this show caused so much contraversy when it aired opposite of the finale of The Bachelor. The women on the Bachelor did not get anything in return for being used by a guy and to what end? To find love on a tv series, come on no one will find love on a tv show?

At least the girls at victoria's fashion show all got paid and knew what they where getting into.

 

[Shuxclams]

Besides the fact the Washington Times isnt even a real news outlet, they had to really invent the whole story this was a waste of my time...

Notice that it's only the Democrat on the panel that wants things changed.

 

[pillage2001]

SOmehow, those guys that complaint must be ghey in away.

What? You sign up, along with 25 other women to whore yourself out to a guy on public TV in hopes that one of you out of 25 will be chosen to be his dream bride in a matter of a months? And she "didn't know" what she's getting into?????

Please tell me you aren't serious.

The Washington Times is every bit as real a news outlet as The Washington Post without the smarmy elitist attitude displayed by the Post. Just to assure you it is not made up here are some links to some other "real news outlets" coverage.

Yahoo Reuters link.
Yahoo AP link.

"What purpose does the special serve except to overly sexualize women and use this to bolster the networks' demographics for young men?" they asked in a letter to CBS President Leslie Moonves.

well no crap. of course they're doing that to boost ratings. I swear, there are too many prude and conservative people in this world.

 

[Chaotic42]

If you don't like it, change the channel.
