Parents Television Council vs. CBS

What would you do if you thought a TV show was indecent?
Probably not distribute the show.

CBS has been fined $3.3 million dollars for indecency by the FCC.
Over a show that drew no complaints when it was first aired.
And no complaints when it was aired again.

But more than 4,000 complaints when the Parents Television Council published clips on their site with a form to send a pre-written complaint to the FCC.

CBS is fighting back

While I am all for citizen activism, it is hard to get behind a group, regardless of their position on the issue, who seem to be the instigators of their own discomfort.
