6. The November 20, 2001 episode involves a scene depicting Buffy
kissing
and straddling Spike shortly after fighting with him. Based upon our
review of the scene,
we did not find that it is sufficiently graphic or explicit to be
deemed indecent. Given the
non-explicit nature of the scene, we cannot conclude that it was
calculated to pander to,
titillate or shock the audience. Consequently, we conclude that the
material is not patently
offensive as measured by contemporary community standards for the
broadcast
medium.18
