Another trick was that you never wanted your folks to find out when you got
beaten at school, because they'd give you more of the same at home, and a
lecture about how those blessed nuns had sacrificed their lives to teach you
ungrateful kids, etc. Well, we never asked 'em to.

Those were the bad old days.

As far as the American federal government is concerned, it does not
discriminate against the religious beliefs of any radio amateur.

Unless your parochial school taught amateur radio theory or
standards and practices, such is hardly a fitting subject of a
newsgroup concerning amateur radio policy.

Is it now a requirement that ALL U.S. radio amateurs practice
Catholicsm in addition to love, adoration, and respect for morse
code? Especially in early schooling?

Agreed!

You two ought to write, wire, data transmit to the VEC QPC all of
your charges of immorality and tell the QPC to make them part
and parcel of every written test element!

This is a vital and important part of amateur radio policy!!!

Glad you brought it up.

I will be looking forward to seeing what the QPC comes up with in
that important amateur radio knowledge-morality area on multiple-
choice answers on the U.S. written tests.

Morality must be STRICT and punishment as severe in U.S. amateur
radio!

Now, because of this incident, broadcasters are installing tape delay
equipment to ensure that inappropriate things are not aired. This is
not being done for the benefit of the public good, mind you - it is
being done so as to placate the advertizers, so that they don't end up
on the wrong side of public opinion and lose market share - and keep
those big bucks coming in.....

Broadcasters have used various kinds of "tape delay" since 1956
and before.

The most common has been the magnetic tape delay of a few
seconds for the audio. One example was the first Apollo mission
around the moon (but not landing) during Christmas holiday; VOA
did not use any delay but the network broadcasters had about a
3 second (approximately) delay of the same feed from NASA.
[no, it wasn't in case an astronaut bared a breast on audio...:-) ]

Television broadcasters are considering longer combined audio-
video delay for minutes, not just seconds, to avoid the "shock
video" that upsets so many. This will usually mean another
person on constant monitoring in real-time on live shows to do
real-time "evaluation" of morality, etc., in order to cut out the
"offensive" material. [especially so for seven-year-old extras and
outraged bus driver veterans of the desk wars]

Considering that ALL network corporate income comes from
advertising time sales in U.S. broadcasting (PBS calls it
"sponsorship" in lovely spin while trying to be high-faluting and
lofty, even when carrying artsy, refined humor from Python shows),
the networks are VERY cognizant of advertising/marketing opinion.
"Public opinion" is, and always has been, secondary except for
who watches the shows paid for by advertising sales.

Now, in truth, NONE of the above nor anything in this thread has
not the remotest relationship to amaeur radio policy. :-) The
entire thread has none. Of no matter, it is considered vital and
important that all must be licensed amateur radio service men in
order to discuss female-specific anatomy and morals required for
their seven-year-old peer group. Sigh.

You're wrong about that.

'Tis true, though - however difficult it may be.

Let me hold this mirror up for ya, Leo......

Just because I disagree with some of your opinions doesn't make me
"wrong".

But...everyone who disagrees with YOUR opinions are "wrong!"

Gotta love the double standards of the Extras in here... :-)

Agreed. But it just ain't that big a deal.

Not to you. To other people it *is* a big deal. Not just the incident
itself,
but the incident as a symbol of how goofy the whole system is.

Goofy is right.

Just found this article on Fox News this morning, regarding a class
action suit that has been filed in Tennessee over the Janet Jackson
'exposure':

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,110630,00.html

The lawsuit claims that:

"As a direct and proximate result of the broadcast of the acts,
[Carlin] and millions of others saw the acts and were caused to suffer
outrage, anger, embarrassment and serious injury."

Serious injury? Millions injured? From a TV picture of a breast? (that
ain't no ordinary breast, it's a WMD...) One can only speculate on
the nature of that one - the suit doesn't specify what kind of injury
was caused.

Hmmm - still think the Star article missed the target?

Nope, no irrational reaction there, eh? 8^0

That lawsuit has already been dropped. Basically someone getting their
15 minutes of fame.

It is absolutely surreal that the plaintiff's name is Carlin.

There certainly was - in the Star article...

But I think "Kid Rock" was far worse.
