Howard stern listeners

[DSM4Life]

You guys hear the point he made this morning ?

He use to get fined by the FCC for saying words like: dildo, poop, tits etc

But Diane Keaton drops the F bomb on TV and nothing happens! All i can say is wow. I use to think that Howard was paranoid about how he use to talk about the FCC focusing on just him but this makes me think twice.

Also, how come TV doesn't require a 7-10 second delay like radio ?

The FCC is a bunch of hippocrites, they allow drug, murder and degrading sex talk in songs on the radio and music videos. But someone cant say Sh-t?

The FCC is biased and uneven, but Stern deserved the treatment he received. The standard I live by is this: If I wouldn't feel comfortable letting my 12 year old son or daughter listen to and/or see something, I don't want it open to the public. The filth on his show belongs in strip clubs, not on public airwaves, which is why satelite is appropriate.

That’s the most ridiculous statement i have ever heard.

Well when he was on regular radio, he often mentioned how Oprah Winfrey aired a show about "Tossing The Salad" and it was defined in its entirety but her show was never fined.

Oprah talks about anal sex without even getting fined.

Funny how when howard moved the FCC has shifted their focus to satelite radio. They are currently trying to censor satelite radio ! lol

These people need to give up their personal grudges and move on.

It goes to show you what idiots they are. I remember him mentioning that before he even hit satellite radio. I assure you, if the FCC are allowed to monitor satellite radio, we can all kiss our freedom good-bye.

satellite radio should be out of their control...it's subscribed and paid for, that makes NO sense, i believe the same about the internet, u can kiss my ass because i'm typing what i want to see, and making my own judgements. TV i can see the need for a tighter rope, but i feel like the parents should have more of a say with just some help from the FCC... The fcc should set a guideline saying look- this list of channels has agreed to be family friendly, and we're giong to fine them if they don't become that....which isn't a bad thing- look at all the families that are gonna buy that channel, i don't see any negative consequence for a channel to sign up to be family friendly....but then the FCC should say but now these channels they have agreed to not show pornography and blah blah blah,..- thats ur own judgement call...and if that channel shows porn...then fine their ass.....have a note for each station that plays saying something like; "Family Friendly" "Not Graded By FCC", "Vulgar Language" "Pornography/Vulgar Language"...then let the consumer make the decision, and if the stations don't go by the guidelines they've registered themselves for they should be fined

Which is howards greatest argument. He says fine, you want to censor me than you have to do the same for cable TV, books, newspapers etc etc

I can't see this happening but its just nuts to see them even trying to do it. All because someone upstairs hates howard that much.

IF THE HATE THE GUY THAT MUCH DONT @#$%@ING LISTEN TO HIM

[goodcents]

I have seen religious shows such as adam and eve and they showed complete nudity, want to guess why that was allowed

[goodcents]

How come they can show amazon nudity but we can not show it? I've seen bush, titties and slongs all over nature shows. Really don't need to see animals fuking close up and in detail

[StoneGRMI]

Meh, no big deal. Howard was a repeat offender and was not fined his first times saying something. I'm sure Keaton got a warning just like Howard did when he first started.

[MuscleScience]

That’s the most ridiculous statement i have ever heard.

I actually think he has a very good point. If children can access a media source as easily as standard cable or radio it should be held to a higher standard than services that are paid subscriptions, were often one has to have a credit card or bank account before purchasing. One can say whatever they want about regulating what children watch. The simple fact is radio and tv are everywhere and there is no way a parent can monitor their childrens activities. I personally wouldn't want my children whom I have spent tons of time molding to be a moral and upstanding member of society to watch some of the stuff that is on tv or is in radio. Which is very hard for me to say because I have a very liberal view on the world. Having children changes your view of the world when a parents basic instinct is to protect their offspring to any and all insults to their overall health whether it is mental, physical, educational ect. Children are very impressionable and if one has ever worked with kids one knows how many things they imitate without knowing exactly what they are doing. And yes one could argue that if you raised your children right that they will make the right decisions on their own regardless of what they hear or see on tv or radio, which is completely true. But it makes a parents already difficult job even that much more difficult when popular culture that is produced mainly by adults for an adult audience with adult messages is practically given to children without regard to content and underlying messages. Just because the FCC bleeps out a curse word or blurs a sex scene doesn't mean a child is not going to know what the context of the situation is about.

There is absolutely nothing wrong to say or do practically whatever someone wants on a tiered subscription that can be regulated by adults. If the parents wants to let there children listen to rap or rock music, or watch wildly violent movies then by all means that is there choice as parents. At least with that situation parents can monitor what there children watch. As it stands now a parent can not monitor the media activities of their children when its free to access over the radio or basic cable or satelite tv. On the flip side of that people who don't believe that this material should not be viewed by anyone would need to respect the fact that it is something that should be a personal choice of the individual not the government in regards to purchasing and viewing a particular media subscription.

For everyone else that doens't believe their young child should be exposed to adult types of material then those parents should have that right to do so.

I stopped reading that after the first sentence. This is PAID satalite radio, not terrestrial radio.

[MuscleScience]

I think that was what the other poster I was quoting was talking about as far as terrestrial. With paid satelite radio, the FCC should mind their business and focus their resources elsewhere.

It's more than the words; it's the context in which it is said--Howard says those type of things in "dirty" or demeaning way.

Regarding my statement of judging suitability for public airwaves based upon what's suitable for a 12 year old, I wouldn't let my 12 year old listen to Stern, so I don't want something that I wouldn't let him/her hear easily available. Parents can't can't lock-down their child.

Again, context. Context is everything.

Oh so when Oprah explains to people what "tossing a salad is" that not considered "dirty?" You would allow Oprah to explain what that means to your 12 year old ?

I wouldn't let my 12 yr old watch porno but that doesn’t mean i want to ban the porn industry.

[Tock]

Technically, they have the authority to do both monitor and regulate satellite radio. If a large enough % (I don't remember what that number is) of the US public subscribes to it, then they will.

[Tock]

I don't know what that means . . .
If it's anything like "Dirty Sanchez" then I don't want to know . . .

^^Tossing salad = licking asshole ^^

Watch the people against larry flint, it had a great agruement about judging morality who are they to decide? funniest shlt, family guy with the freaking fcc song

[Getinbgr]

Bear in mind; I consider my self a holy roller, so my views are a bit conservative. However, despite my views, I don't judge others. I'm no better morally than anyone else.

You and your child both have the option not to watch it. It's like an excise tax on cigarettes, if you dont want to pay the tax, then dont buy them. You have the same option to not walk into a strip joint, as you can also not TUNE IN to a show you think is inappropriate.

Huh . . . where do they get "Tossind salad" out of that?

Regardless, thanks . . . ya learn something new every day, and unfortunately, that was it for today . . .
