Here's a joke:
Why does it take members of the PTC so long to send text messages?
No thumbs.

To be fair, Family Guy didn't show the gang-bang (it was audio-only),
but they did show the horse sperm consumption. And, theoretically,
since Peter ultimately did not want the gang-bang, I think that would
more accurately be classified as a gang-rape. Of course, for the PTC
to classify it as such, they'd have to agree with the premise that
there is a gene which controls homosexuality, which would actually be
a big step forward for PTC members.

Semi-related, the episode of The Tonight Show I attended last month
featured an interview with Kevin Bacon. They showed a somewhat
gruesome clip from the first "Friday the 13th" movie of Bacon's throat
being slashed from behind... lots of blood gushing and Bacon writhing
in agony. Leno then said he wanted to show the clip from the film
where Bacon smoked a joint, but was told he wasn't allowed to. To be
clear... blood spewing mutilation: perfectly acceptable... stoned
Bacon brother: crossing the line.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the FCC as a regulator of
content should be abolished.
