Take a look at the web links and decide for yourself if it is worthwhile to sign the petition. Yes, the FCC never officially sanctioned the use of the word, but they do seem to have opened the door to it's use, unless people get on board and let them know how we feel.
Robert Hamilton --------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Grassfire.net" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wed, 10 Dec 2003 14:21:49 -0600 Subject: FCC Approves F-word On Network TV Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * * * * * * * * * * * * * * (Forward this message to your friends) * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 12/10/03 The FCC has just approved the use of the "F-word" on Network Television! This is not an urban legend! See the news stories below. As a television viewer, I'm appalled at this decision, and have lodged a "formal complaint" with Grassfire.net that calls for the FCC to immediately amend this decision and clarify that any and all usage of the F-word is not acceptable on network television under any circumstances. Just as soon as they reach 150,000 citizen complaints, Grassfire will deliver them directly to the FCC on our behalf! By adding my name to the 117,385 citizens who are filing formal complaints, I am sending a message to the FCC decision that I expect them to use better judgment in regards to what kind of language is used on television, and demand immediate action be taken on their decision to use the F-word on network television. Please click here and join me in filing a formal complaint against the FCC, and have that complaint delivered to the FCC. http://www.grassfire.net/39/petition.asp?PID=5147805 Sincerely, Mr. robert hamilton P.S.
