In a change from what we have come to expect, the FCC has actually ruled that a show wasn’t "indecent."
A love scene from the canceled TV show
"Angel" that showed a female character turning into a vampire and
biting her partner’s neck did not overstep federal indecency rules, the
Federal Communications Commission ruled Friday.It was one of
two scenes from a November 2003 episode of "Angel" that were not
"sufficiently graphic or explicit to render the program patently
offensive" by contemporary standards, the FCC said in denying an
indecency complaint from the Parents Television Council.
Change the channel. That is all it takes. I have personnally only seen a bit of Angel. Just doesn’t interest me. But, you know from the commercials for it, and the network (the WB), that it will be racy. Don’t watch it if you do not want to see anything like a bite on the neck or racy sexually loaded scenes.
This is vastly different from television commercials, tv specials, or the Janet Jackson incident. Anything "indecent" sneaks up a viewer. You know what you are going to get when you watch Angel, the daily Soaps, etc. Change the channel if you do not like it.
