Remember lasts year's Super Bowl flashing, or whatever you want to call it, and the FCC fined all those CBS stations? Yeah, well, what happens with all that money? They never tell us. They just say, "They have been fined by the FCC for $-,---." What does that money do? Does it increase FCC workers' pay? Is it used for the advancement of Nudity & Curse Word detection technology? I think that technology is at its peak right now. I'd like that money to go to charities and other such orginizations.

Yes,

But on the other hand basic cable will start to cost you $200/month to cover the fines.....

But at lease you will get to see plenty of nipples for your money.
