Someone posted a note that said the BEST way to let your voice be heard is to either boycott the sponsors such as Abercrombie and Fitch or Pepsi, for them sponsoring such smut, and also to contact the FCC and let em' know how you feel. We all have a voice and we should let it be heard. If you are sick and tired of the smut and filth that our children are exposed to on a regular basis, by the fat cats making the big bucks at society's expense, PLEASE contact the FCC and let them know that you won't accept that. Here is their contact info. Let your voice be heard!

Obscene and Indecent Broadcasts
It’s against the Law!
It is a violation of federal law to broadcast obscene programming at any time. It is also a violation of federal law to broadcast indecent programming during certain hours. Congress has given the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) the responsibility for administratively enforcing the law that governs these types of broadcasts. The Commission may revoke a station license, impose a monetary forfeiture, withhold or place conditions on the renewal of a broadcast license, or issue a warning, for the broadcast of obscene or indecent material. For more information about FCC indecency enforcement actions, see http://www.fcc.gov/eb/broadcast/obscind.html.


Obscene Broadcasts are Prohibited at all Times
