FCC to Broadcasters: F-word is Out of Bounds. Should Kerry be Concerned?

The Miami Herald [1] is running a story that struck my funny bone:

“The Federal Communications Commission on Thursday overruled its staff and declared that an expletive uttered by rock star Bono on NBC last year was both indecent and profane. The agency made it clear that virtually any use of the F-word was inappropriate for over-the-air radio and television.

“The ‘F-word’ is one of the most vulgar, graphic and explicit descriptions of sexual activity in the English language,” the commission said Thursday. “The fact that the use of this word may have been unintentional is irrelevant; it still has the same effect of exposing children to indecent language.””

What’s funny of course… Does this mean they’re going to fine John F’ing Kerry?
