Free speech wins! Oh, how the moralistic types will be upset about this...

It was the Bush Administration that began to seriously crack down on "indecency" in 2004. I'm glad to see it backfired on them.
How long before you are howling about those 5 slobs that don't go along with the lefties on the Supreme Court? Of course, you know this one will be appealed one more time, I hope.

Ok let me try this again. At 6:00 pm on a Sunday night my children should be able to watch FREE broadcast TV without seeing flying boobs!! What is so hard to get? I am not talking about Cable or late night TV but freakin 6:00 pm on a Sunday??? No that is not acceptable.

I love how everyone's answer is not to demand people act right when on live TV but to hide my kids in the closet. That is really sad.

How old are your kids? That game was YEARS ago. Has this really been something that has happened to you since then? I'll put it as plain and as simple as possible. You're making stuff up.

Why should they be able to watch broadcast TV? Is there some right to TV in constitution? Can you site the appropriate section? Do you think the public has some moral obligation to ensure that you and your children can watch tv? I personally don't feel any such obligation.

All they do is lower the sound. They do NOT allow that to happen. I don't care what you say! The times that it may get through are very few.

How about you try raising your own kids. Try being more responsible than you are now. Make better choices for them. Be a parent. Stop telling other people what they should do when you are the one who has failed your kids.
How about caring enough about the kids that are watching and their parents don't care!!! Oh wait I know because it is all about YOU and what YOU want. Forget everyone else.

I hear what you are saying, I just don't know why you think there should never be anything unexpected happening in life. If you have kids you ought to know better. It's not like they are programming "the boob hour" or anything and even if little baby caught a glimpse of something you have the right to complain and boycott and he won't be harmed in any way. It's just a boob, not a bloody corpse. Which you can see on tv now btw.

I don't think people on a large scale will be going out of their way to do inappropriate things, but if they do they will pay the price of the publics scorn. That's really all you can expect. There is no way to prevent your kids from being exposed to anything you find offensive while still delivering programming to everyone else in the country.

Then they need to pay the price if it crosses the line.

It happens all the time. There are clips on youtube for you to look for yourself, because I'm certainly not going to post them.

Are you asking me to care about your kids? Sorry, that's not my job. It's yours. That game was over six years ago, and nothing like that has really happened since then. I'm sure if you actually had kids who were watching that when it went down they've long since forgotten about it.

My oldest son was 3 and YES he did see it. I am not making up anything.

OMG it is freakin FREE over the airwaves TV. Not cable! It is meant for EVERYONE to watch! I think the networks have an obligation to keep their programing appropriate for the times they are being shown. And boobs out at 6:00 on a Sunday is NOT appropriate .
