It also got him a SONG. (hee) What Goes Around was written about Elisha dumping Trace for some sports dude.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Well, this is...stupid.
"We find that the programming at issue is within the scope of our indecency definition because it depicts sexual organs and excretory organs -- specifically an adult woman's buttocks," the FCC wrote. "Although ABC argues, without citing any authority, that the buttocks are not a sexual organ, we reject this argument, which runs counter to both case law and common sense."
That's right, kids! Listen to what the FCC says about your ass!

Now tagless for your comfort.

Did it show the ass on a toilet? Or during sex? I'm confused. I don't think the buttocks qualify as an "organ." It's not like they showed the anus or the sphincter.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I think it was a shower scene. They weren't fined when they showed Dennis Franz ass were they?

Wait, I'm confused: didn't NYPD Blue show Dennis Franz' naked ass previously? Because dude, I totally found that offensive, and yet they didn't fine anyone!

Great cross-post, Aurelia!
I suspect the FCC doesn't think men's asses are sexual organs. Hello, male gaze.

I wonder if they would have considered Jimmy Smits ass indecent.

I want to know what authority anyone can cite as to whether or not an ass is a sexual organ. Dr. Ruth?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My lips are a sexual organ, FWIW.
