Eric Idle presents... The FCC Song.
"Here’s a little song I wrote the other day while I was out duck hunting with a judge… It’s a new song, it’s dedicated to the FCC and if they broadcast it, it will cost a quarter of a million dollars."

It seems to me he has a valid argument. What do you think?

Erm... Bravo I think... Not sure what all the acronyms were about - or what the singers gripe was - but amusing in places none the less.

I take it Eric Idle is now a permanent resident in America? His concerns and opinions are certainly very... 'Americanized.'

So this is about censorship? This might make an interesting debate. Do you have any more links? I would like to know more.

If the FCC is looking to bring in censorship of a much wider range of material - I personally think this would be a step too far, even for this government.
