The U.S. Supreme Court today upheld the FCC’s crackdown on profanity on broadcast television, overturning a U.S. Appeals court ruling. This means that for even an accidental, live expletive, the FCC will enforce their policy against the network and fine the shit out of them.
The justices specifically pointed out the F-word and S-word’s potential offensiveness due to their frank sexual and excretory nature. They are concerned that these words could offend viewers between commercials for Trojan and Ex-Lax.
