The Federal Censorship Commission is at it again:

The Federal Communications Commission has proposed a $1.4 million fine against 52 ABC Television Network stations over a 2003 broadcast of cop drama NYPD Blue.

The fine is for a scene where a boy surprises a woman as she prepares to take a shower. The scene depicted “multiple, close-up views” of the woman’s “nude buttocks” according to an agency order issued late Friday.

So five years after the fact we get the FCC coming to protect us from the horrors of nude buttocks. I wish Congress would abolish this unconstitutional agency, but with the rise of Nanny-statism among the GOP and the legislate what is good mentality of the Democrats, the FCC will be around to suppress free speech for years to come.
