Breaking Laws

NBC allows s-word on live TV - no bleeps, no apologies, no nothin'

On Thursday, September 11th, at approximately 7:37 a.m. Eastern time, Today show guest Hans Lange emphatically said "Holy S--t" in an interview with host Matt Lauer. Instead of apologizing to the audience, Lauer and his crew broke out in extended laughter after Lange said the phrase. View the scene here (at the 3:50 mark in the video).

NBC uses a five-second delay in many live broadcasts, but chose not to use it here. As a result, NBC purposely allowed profane language to be used in violation of broadcast decency laws!Keep in mind that NBC thinks it owns the public airwaves and doesn't have a responsibility to control profanity on live broadcasts. Having sued the FCC in order to continue their filthy ways is just one more indication that they have no respect for children and families.If you are fed up the networks' arrogance in defiantly spewing profanity on live TV, take action!If you live in the Eastern Time zone, file a complaint with the FCC now! (The network did bleep tape delayed airings of the interview.)
