There is nothing I despise more than when the actions of a small, ultra-sensitive, easily offended minority (as in group of people, not race of people) ruins things for the rest of us who have a normal sense of humor about things. When Janet Jackson (sort of) showed her boob (not really her nipple, though) during the Super Bowl, these groups went absolutely apeshit. Forget about the fact that I see more boob on the Discovery Channel, or walking around in malls, or giving "guest lectures" in local high school bathrooms, than Janet "showed" (or Justin Timberlake revealed). The fact remains, there is a devoted group of assholes who spend all their time watching far more television than most normal people just to fulfill their self-appointed role as morality police. Whose morality sets the standard doesn't matter - they are the morality police, dammit, and that's that.
Which brings me to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
When the morality police, enraged with outrage at Bart Simpson saying "man!" and apparently paralyzed and unable to change the channel, figure out how to either turn on their computer or string letters together via their ink quill, they typically send their complaints in to our government's morality police, the FCC. As a government executive-level agency, the FCC is bound by the FOIA, and are thus under the obligation to respond to requests for copies of complaints they have received for specific shows.
So, as a service to my disgruntled reader(s?), I give you...
FCC COMPLAINTS ABOUT "FAMILY GUY"
Enjoy, it's pretty hilarious. It's also a good episode guide if you need to catch up.
