CBC Arts: US group protests inaction on TV decency violations

CBC Arts: US group protests inaction on TV decency violations: "

A major parents group in the U.S. says it is disappointed regulators did not issue any fines for on-air indecency in 2005 after a record number of penalties the previous year.

'Here 2005 is going to end … and nothing has been done all year,' says Melissa Caldwell, director of research at the Parents Television Council. The council has spearheaded a crusade against coarse language and sexual content on television and files many complaints with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

The FCC can levy fines, often after an investigation and a vote by its five-member commission. It has not proposed a single fine for 2005."

And Curb Your Enthusiasm stopped being funny"

The Sweater (1980)

The Sweater (1980)

This cartoon tells a humourous story that underlines the "two solitudes" element of Canadian society where two social groups, the English speaking and French speaking populations live in the same country, but can literally barely speak to or tolerate each other. This is illustrated in this story about how a boy in Quebec has to endure the terrible shame of being given the sweater of the predominate English speaking Canadian hockey team, Toronto Maple Leafs, instead of the same sweater of his idol, Maurice "Rocket" Richard of the Montreal Canadiens.
