What Would Jesus Glue?

The Parents Television Council is upset that 36 of its complaints to the FCC have been rejected as baseless. The self-ordained watchdog group, which prides itself in determining what your values should be, filed complaints regarding TV shows which aired from 2001 to 2004 in which objectionable material was presented. Among its complaints are:

A "Friends" episode in which Monica and Chandler talk about a fertility treatment at a medical office.

And they're not in Jail?!?

A "Simpsons" episode in which students carried picket signs reading "What Would Jesus Glue?"

Damn funny.

The new ABC brightspot "Life As We Know It" is not a live show and therefore has control over what is taped and presented.

You mean it's not actually my real life as I know it?

My goodness. I bet these people have playdates with the PETA freaks and Bush protestors.

It turns out actually that not many people outside of the Parents Television Council have complaints about TV. In 2003, 99.8% of FCC complaints regarding indecent television were filed by the obsessed folks at PTC.

One group, aimed at determining what you can and can not watch. All for your benefit of course.
