::grrzw, you are correct on the issue of regulation, but perhaps not on its effect. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_TV makes it clear that the FCC has authority over cable television; it also makes it clear that the FCC does not regulate the content of cable programs, since they (in principle) require special equipment/access to see. Content regulation of cable stations still exists, of course; it's just driven by advertising interests and fear of protests. In any case, syndication on the major networks is worth a lot of money, and even the possiblity of such is worth more than enough to push them to filter their language. Yes, they could dub it for syndication, but it's a bother and makes them look like they bowdlerized themselves. --[[User:CalculatinAvatar|CalculatinAvatar]] 01:02, 17 January 2006 (EST)

:::Not that I know much about US cable TV regulations, but I would have thought that they would be more concerned about the actual frakking going on rather than the words used to describe it (i.e. isn't it, by content, already in the adult bracket?) [[User:OTW|OTW]] 15:59, 20 April 2007 (CDT)
