TO: FCC Chairman Kevin J. Martin, FCC Commissioner Michael J. Copps, FCC Commissioner Jonathan S. Adelstein, FCC Commissioner Deborah Taylor Tate
FROM: Matt Frankenberg (I'm awesome)
"WASHINGTON -- Federal regulators proposed a record $3.6 million fine against a single TV show, penalizing CBS and its affiliates for an episode of "Without a Trace" that suggested a teenage sexual orgy, in the first batch of indecency fines proposed in more than a year."
Dear FCC,
I sincerely hope that one day your agency is given the boot. I mean, do we really need you guys anymore? What purpose do you serve, exactly? You guys don’t even think logically (or fairly for that matter). It's not ok to hint at a sex act for story telling purposes (where all the actors in question are still technically CLOTHED), but it's ok to show blood, guts, murder, violence, beatings, beheadings, and torture on tv? I really don't understand. Seriously.
Here's something you COULD tell the folks that have nothing better to do than complain about programming: CHANGE THE CHANNEL.
Sincerely,
Matt Frankenberg
Brooklyn, Maryland
PS: The only thing I found even remotely offensive about the Janet Jackson Super Bowl incident was the fact that it was her breast that was exposed and not, say, Angelina Jolie’s. Or Rosario Dawson’s. Halle Berry’s would have been nice, too.
PPS: Happy Saint Patrick’s Day.

 In which I tell all of you about a deal I’ve made with my wife and where all of you begin to hate me more than you already do.
Here’s what I have to do:
Get vasectomy.
Here’s what I get in return (wife's suggestion):
Permission from wife to sleep with anyone of my choosing on one occasion.
Right. Is this a no-brainer?
