 | Bush raises fines on 'wardrobe malfunctions' WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- President Bush Thursday signed into law legislation that raises fines tenfold on radio and television broadcasters that violate U.S. decency standards by airing extensive profanity or sexual content. The new law, which boosts fines to as much as $325,000 per violation from $32,500, could help congressional Republicans woo conservatives in a tough election year as they have faced ebbing support from key core constituencies. The Christian Coalition had placed legislation to increase the fines as the No. 5 item on its 2006 legislative agenda. The new law also caps any continuing violations from an incident at $3 million. The drive for the higher fines came when pop singer Justin Timberlake ripped off part of duet partner Janet Jackson's costume and briefly exposed her breast during the 2004 Super Bowl football halftime entertainment show aired on national television. Television and radio broadcasters are barred from airing obscene material and are limited from broadcasting indecent material between the hours of 6 a.m. and 10 p.m., times when children are likely to be in the audience. Those restrictions do not apply to cable or satellite services. That prompted radio shock jock Howard Stern to move his show to satellite radio to avoid the federal regulations since his antics led to fines against stations that aired his show. from.....

| Re: Bush raises fines on 'wardrobe malfunctions' Don't parents have the right to protect their children from that? After all Janet's misfunction was during the SuperBowl. Shouldn't kids be able to watch football with their families??? |

Have you seen some of the "tops" women wear in the summer - just like looking at a naked boob? If someone is so uptight that they think one naked boob flashed on television is harming their children then they need to seriously look at themselves and their children and question whether or not they have raised socially inept. They could see one if a woman was breast feeding in public or on the internet or one the internet at a friends house. No it isn't something I want my kids to see when we are watching football but there were so many life lessons that could have been taught from that event. Also while I protect my kids from what I can, they are kids and they will see or hear things that I don't always approve of, I just have to be open with them and teach them how to handle situations like that. | |

Let's just blame the whole damn fucking thing on Bush!!! He is the cause for all of your problems!!! Dammit!!!! Just like Clinton was the cause for all of OUR problems!!! Wake up people!!! It takes more than a President to affect your life! The Senate and the Congress have a little play into it too... Oh, yeah.... The fricken Judiciary has a role too..... Jesus!!! Give me help...... There are 15,000 people that make up policy on how you should live your life and how much money you should dedicate to them for the privilege of representing you.... They are found in Washington DC........ Get a fricken clue.... Get involved!!!!..... Make a fricken difference!!!! Stop bitching and make a change!!!! Damn!!!!!!! Okay.......... I'm done.....
