MTV.com - News -FCC Reverses Ruling On Bono Profanity, Hits Howard Stern With Maximum Penalty

MTV.com - News -FCC Reverses Ruling On Bono Profanity, Hits Howard Stern With Maximum Penalty: "The Federal Communications Commission admonished U2 frontman Bono and hit radio personality Howard Stern with the maximum penalty allowed in a handful of rulings issued on Thursday. The FCC decried Bono's use of the phrase 'f---ing brilliant' during NBC's live 2003 Golden Globes broadcast, saying the remark violated its rules regarding indecency and profanity. The FCC had previously ruled that Bono's speech was not indecent because his use of the f-word was 'fleeting and in a non-sexual context.' This week's ruling was a response to a complaint lodged by the Parents Television Council."

my friends i don't advocate violent overthrow but maybe its time to pick up arms!!!
