Sure, broadcasters got licenses to broadcast. But that doesn't justify higher standards (or lower standards on cable), which is also regualted by the FCC. If the goal is to protect kids, then any broadcast shoudl be subject to the same rules.

The
Red Lion Broadcasting rationale for FCC regulation of content of "airwaves" as a public good is only tenuously connected with the rationale for regulating cable content. I'm not an FCC lawyer, but as I understand it the
Red Lion rules are waning as applied to cable; it's just a gradual process.
Why are otherwise intelligent people still debating whether it was intentional or not? Have none of you ever tried to rip off a bodice? The leather was snapped on, sure; but that doesn't explain how JT was able to cleanly rip off the lacy underthings to get at the chewy chocolate center. Bodices have structural wire, people. You can't just pull one cup off, unless it's designed that way.
