    The FCC recently slapped a $1.43 million fine on ABC for showing a woman's buttocks in a five-year-old episode of NYPD Blue.

    Below, see what $1.43 million worth of titillation gets you. Video not safe for work if you work at the FCC.

    I hate the FCC. CSI has people's brains etc splattered all over the place, but you cant so a human butt? (a nice one at that). Seriously this is fucking stupid.

    If you pause it at about 27 seconds you can see a little rear vag.

    Yah, our country has such fine values.

    All the violence on TV is OK, as long as you don't see any ass or titties!

    Now please tell me, what is the bigger problem in our society, murder, or titties?

    I've seen titties that should be illegal:unibrow:. Enough to give an old fart like HeavyD, goofus, Woodbutcher and I a coronary! but then again, what a last thing to behold, would sure beat seeing the muzzle of a weapon.

    That was a nice scene, but I can totally see why they were fined. Bare ass is one thing, but as Jake mentioned you could see genitalia which isn't often showed even on premium cable. Doesn't offend me though, I love it! Adult TV should be allowed to be adult. If parents are letting their kids watch that stuff then shame on them. Not that it would really hurt the kids anyway. As mentioned above the violence is a lot worse for them.
