Subject: Which is worse---Janet Jackson's breast or eating raw dead rats?
I wonder if the FCC will get involved in eating dead rats. I personally, would rather have a gander at Janet Jackson’s breasts.
On a more serious note, apparently Michael Moore was unable to get some cable MSO’s to accept his money to advertise his recent film, critical of the administration. Comcast was one. 22 million subs or more. That seems to me to be more nauseating and frightening than eating dead rats, and would be something the FCC or FTC or SEC or some sort of C or T would get involved with. Here you have intermodal monopolies (Michael Powell’s concept and testimony, not mine) lobbying the government for that status, getting it, and then refusing to even advertise a movie critical of the administration that takes their money in exchange for favorable policy. Does that sound like the America we teach our kids about? Where is the outcry over that? Whether or not you are a fan of Michael Moore? Of those 22 million Comcast subscribers how many could see that ad on another cable MSO?
Gandhi said that when you fight the oppressors first they ignore you, then they fight you, then you win. Apparently we are in phase 2.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Watching contestants eat dead rats on NBC's gross-out stunt show "Fear Factor" so disgusted a Cleveland man that he has sued NBC for $2.5 million, saying he could not stomach what he saw.
