Nude Buttocks May Cost ABC $1.4 Million
2008-01-26 07:15:19

WASHINGTON (AP) — 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.

ABC is owned by the Walt Disney Co. The fines were issued against 52 stations either owned by or affiliated with the network.

FCC's definition of indecent content requires that the broadcast "depicts or describes sexual or excretory activities" in a "patently offensive way" and is aired between the hours of 6 a.m. and 10 p.m.

The agency said the show was indecent because "it depicts sexual organs and excretory organs — specifically an adult woman's buttocks."

4. That's ridiculous
I didn't see the show, but what's the difference between "nude buttocks" and a woman (or a man) wearing a thong? Were real sexual organs actually exposed? I rather doubt it. If they go by that logic, then hands are sexual organs, too.

Powell is now gone, but he left his legacy behind.

123. No it wasn't. It was Bush. Get your facts straight.
Get your facts straight. Clinton appointed Powell to one of the two repub spots on the FCC in 1997. After Bush took office, he got to name a third republican AND name the FCC chairman. Rather than pick a new person to be chairman, he gave the post to Powell (and named Kathleen Abernathy to the other Repub spot).

Powell, while certainly not without faults, was much better than the current chairman, Kevin Martin. MOreover, he was actually quite good about not being a national scold on indecency issues until the political pressure got too great. That pressure, by the way, came primarily from Democratic FCC Commissioner Michael Copps, who started whining about indecency in the very first statement he issued as an FCC Commissioner and has never stopped. Copps once even issued a statement decrying the Victoria's Secret fashion shows on tv as inappropriate.

148. We need to blame this on the prudes of the country who constantly
contact the FCC with every little thing they can find to bitch about! They send emails and letters ALL THE TIME! I remember seeing a story about a father who was walking through the mall with his son (I think the son was 11-13 yo) and the father was so offended by a maniquin's scanty outfit that was in the window or a Victoria's Secret, he entered the store and demanded they move it to the back of the store! He didn't want his son contaminated with such trash! The store mgr. complied!

It's okay for little Susie and Johnny to see victims on CSI and shows of that ilk because those naked people are dead and the FCC isn't worried about necrophilia yet.

61. I believe the primary purpose for that point of view by the networks
Edited on Sat Jan-26-08 01:45 PM by Uncle Joe
is to numb the American People to violence and death in large part because of the war with Iraq.

The same networks telecasting mangled corpses galore on such shows as CSI and similar programs are loathe to show the real stuff that's happening in Iraq and to a lesser extent Afghanistan during their "news hours", just part of the fantasy Matrix created by the networks for the American People to live in.

48. Exactly.
Whenever I point out the violence factor, people look at me as though I'm out of my mind. They see absolutely nothing wrong with their kids seeing noseless, maggot-infested bodies on television, but they join boycotts if somebody shows a breast. Some kids are becoming immune to the effects of violence, which bodes poorly for our country's future.

9. Interesting that the conservative Bush FCC would refer to buttocks as "sexual organs."
I'm not trying to be funny or insensitive here. One of the more common conservative arguments against gay rights is: Nature (or God) never intended *that* to be a sexual organ. I wonder if this precedent might have some legal or PR value to the Gay rights movement.

Did she spread her cheeks? The anus is the excretory organ back there.

BTW, the mouth is also an excretory organ. So are your eyes, your nose, every square inch of your skin and your ears.

55. I suspect they meant it...
...in the same way that they consider female breasts to be a sexual organ. Biologically speaking, neither of these bits of anatomy have an overriding sexual function, but without putting too fine a... um... point on it, both can evoke sexual arousal. But taking that argument to its logical conclusion, *any* part of the human anatomy can evoke sexual arousal. What guy hasn't at some point thought, "wow, she has a really nice neck / insert-other-non-sex/reproductive-organ-here." And without naming any names (OK, Saudi Arabia) we know where this kind of crap ends up. Which is not to say that we should have hardcore porn as the lead-in to Everybody Loves Raymond, but I've got to say that the FCC's attitude here seems to be positively Victorian. And we know how well sexual repression worked out for them.

This is patently stupid. The show ended, what two years ago, and they are just now getting their knickers in a twist about the plethora of nude butts the various actors showed during the entire life of the show? This really makes zero sense in every way.

90. That was in the 90's
Dennis Franz showed his rear I think about 1996, very ancient history to say the least. So did David Caruso, Amy Brenneman, Jimmy Smits (who could complain about that?), Sharon Lawrence, Kim Delaney, the list goes on. Don't they have anything better to do than fine a show that's been off the air for years and years? Our "efficient" government agencies at work again, wasting time, resources and common sense.

15. Buttocks are sexual organs?
Last time I checked, the Ovaries, Uterus, Fallopian Tubes, and Vagina, plus clitoris, outer/inner labia were women's sexual organs, and her anus and other associated organs were excretory organs. The buttocks are just flaps of skin that make women look sexy...

just me though...

23. Well a butt's proper name is "a turd cutter."
As in she has a cute "turd cutter."

or Man, does that guy have a large "turd cutter."

This happened in 2003? No wonder the country has gone hill after that.

Remember when Ashcroft spent $8,000 to cover up some breasts on a
statue?

<The statue is one of two that stand at the end of the Great Hall in the Justice Department, which is commonly used for news conferences and announcements. One of statues is known as "The Majesty of Justice" and is a male figure. The other is called "The Spirit of Justice" and is the female figure. They are both art-deco pieces cast in aluminum. The female figure is dressed in a toga, leaving one breast exposed.

Attorney General John Ashcroft has not issued any official statement that we know of about the statue issue. The story was broken by Beverly Lumpkin of ABC News who said Ashcroft had made the request for the draperies. The Justice department has said that the draperies were an aesthetic decision that allowed the room to be changed for various functions and that the blue draperies looked good on camera.>

121. He would be just as bad on this issue.
If anything, he's been even more outspoken in favor of regulating "indecency" on tv than any of the repubs.

Here is the very first written statement Copps issued after becoming an FCC Commissioner in 2001:
http://www.fcc.gov/Speeches/Copps/Statements/2001/stmjc101.html

He's even hinted that he might find the Victoria's Secret shows to be indecent:

30. Some things I don't get about this...
1) NYPD Blue has been off the air, I think, for almost a decade.

2) Nudity was featured in episodes of the first season, starting with the pilot, I believe, with both breasts and buttocks being exposed.

So...what is the point of all of this now?

49. So the problem is a little kid went into a bathroom and saw someone?
Was it her kid? OMG! Poor kid will need years of therapy, and then continue as a degenerate closed minded fool, wanting, wishing desperately, to return to that scene.

91. Um, that would be no
Since it was a television show and both were actors not related to one another. I believe that this episode depicted this cop, whose name I have forgotten because I didn't watch the show past 1999, and the child who played the widowed Sipowicz's son. They had begun having a relationship and she had spent the night at his place and the boy walked into the bathroom and saw her. That was it.

and i remember thinking "did we really need to see that?" just seemed overly gratuitous and out of place in a cop show---then again, i was one of those who never "got" NYPD Blue...

not to mention the certain amount of squickiness over of a son (or maybe he was the stepson?) looking a few seconds too long at his nude mother

122. what are you talking about? Powell was named chairman by bush
Yes he was appointed to the FCC as one of the two repub Commissioners by Clinton, but it was Bush that decided to elevate him to chairman. And while he had many faults, he was far better than Kevin Martin. Among other things, Powell actually was sane about indecency matters until the political heat got to great -- pushed in considerable part by Democrat Michael Copps, who started complaining about indecency on tv in the very first statement he issed as FCC Commissioner in 2001 and has never stopped being a scold and nanny on the issue.

You want to find something to bash Clinton with, go ahead, but at least get your facts straight first.

146. I can honestly say I have never seen nude buttocks before.
My religion prevents me from owning mirrors, having sexual relations with others and...oddly enough....watching NYPD Blue.

Go figure!

147. IDGI - what's the big deal?
I just watched a Dexter re-run last night on Showtime(?). Dexter's (female) sponsor was shown completely nude, about one degree away from full-frontal.

Is Showtime being fined?
