It isn't so much about Stern as about WHY. Like usual, we have nobody to thank but the American people. Clear Channel's zero tolerance policy for indecency means that someone besides the individual is now in charge of determining what's decent or not. Let me tell you, our tastes are in serious jeapordy. Can't say I'm surprised though. Janet's little expose at the Super Bowl and all the media clamor afterward has given the FCC their battle armor and Clear Channel is playing defense.
I have some friends across the pond who thought it was amazing that a country of our stature could be brought to its knees by a bare breast; something that they show on their television commercials. As is the norm, we'll do everything we can as a nation to save our children without taking the time to look at what endangers them.
Things like censorship.
