Fox Channel Blurs Out Breasts In a Picasso

tacomancer said:
You did not cite the full rule, here is what makes a material indecent

n our assessment of whether material is patently offensive, context is critical. The FCC looks at three primary factors when analyzing broadcast material: (1) whether the description or depiction is explicit or graphic; (2) whether the material dwells on or repeats at length descriptions or depictions of sexual or excretory organs; and (3) whether the material appears to pander or is used to titillate or shock. No single factor is determinative. The FCC weighs and balances these factors because each case presents its own mix of these, and possibly other, factors.

The Picasso is none of these. Its not shocking, it does not dwell on sexual organs (it just simply has some, an important distinction), it does not pander to anyone, except maybe to people who like art.

Also, i find it highly revealing about you not being able to tell the difference between art and porn.

I find it highly revealing that you are upset over nothing. as I said if you want to see boobs go look at a porn website they have all the boobs and everything else you want to look at. still not seeing any bias here this thread is done.

More proof that the country has lost it feckin mind.

No doubt the Fox channel in question has no problem leading news with blood, gore and guts on the evening news whenever it can, but a naked breast on a Picasso? What would the children think? How could anyone sit with their family expecting to see news clips concerning murders, vicious dog attacks, men exposing themselves at bus stops, beheadings in the Middle East when suddenly they are subjected to breasts on a Picasso? No problem, Fox Channel 5 will cut that crap right out for you.

Granted a lot of evening news watchers think Picasso is the name of a pizza chain out of Kalamazoo. But even still it wasn't a photograph. It was a painting, work of art. Not tits, but breasts. No matter, people shouldn't have to see that shocking depiction of nudity when the family is watching a news story about a gang of girls whipping a bus driver's ass.

I graduated high school in the 60's, and the only exposure to sexual things we budding highschoolers had were pictures of paintings like that and National Geographic Magazine. Thing were tight back then. That would have really been hard on us had our library covered up Picasso's works.

I already covered your inability to tell the difference between art and porn.
 
Why would anyone get offended by abstract boobs? Why would anyone make sure a big whoop about not allowing it? Its absurd on both sides.
But if they are offended by a naked chest, why not blur the butt as well?

I was watching a movie a few days ago, over the air television, one female actor was totally nude, and someone, either the station or over the air moderators blocked out the breasts and crotch, the movie had a DSLV rating. The movie aired around 10 p.m..

Should I be upset that movies aren't shown in their entirety? I so accustomed to censorship now, I wouldn't know what to do if they showed movies with vulgarity and nudity.

Fox had its hilarious coverage of Spring Break twerking on ALL DAY LONG.

You're confusing Fox News with a local Fox broadcast station. Most liberals are so blinded by their hatred of Fox News that they have trouble seeing that distinction

I watch Fox News to keep "abreast" of what the Right is up to in poisoning our society.

The thread title says "Fox Channel," not "Fox News." A poster accidentally used Fox News (#18). This of course led to the inevitable "they're obsessed with Fox News" comments. Fox News deserves to be kicked around anyway — it's a constant stream of odious vomit.

How did you determine that his use of Fox News was accidental? Seemed intentional to me
 
The Piscasso censorship has gone tits up. The rest of the world is talking about it.

From a story in the Guardian UK this morning.

I am not surprised Fox has censored Picasso’s breasts. It is absurd and creepy to blur out the bosoms of his Women of Algiers in a report on the painting that set a new world record this week. But it is not completely impossible to understand, because if you were a puritan or a fundamentalist or just hated women’s bodies, Picasso’s breasts are the kind of breasts you might find shocking.

Actually I find US broadcast network programming in general to be obscene and offensive. My wife watches the Today every morning. I find that offensive. I find Fox News Network, CNN and MSNBC to be offensive regardless. On the other hand the BBC, CBC and even Sky News are much more palatable.

American broadcast network programming is tripe. Frankly I'm glad they don't show occasional nudity on broadcast networks because they'd **** it up so much that people would no longer enjoy seeing people without clothes.

Common sense. Why would it have been done intentionally?

>>Seemed intentional to me

You should ask yerself why.
 
This reminds me of an episode of The Simpsons where the town protested and censored the statue of David because it was "too revealing."

Well off course they self censored the female body... wouldn't want to offend Muslims.

Because not offending Muslims is a constant concern with Fox. ;)

then watch hbo etc then you can see whatever you want to.
otherwise other networks have to follow fcc rules.

if you don't like the rules contact the fcc to change them but I doubt they will.
sorry but I have kids at home during the day and I don't want them to see that stuff on TV.

that is why you don't see that stuff on during the day but later on at night.

Oh really?! You ever watch daytime commercials for the evening programs or daytime soap operas?? Both contain men and women ripping with tongues swirling at each other in sexual ways and lots of people killing each other like bugs using guns. So you are OK with showing women's asses and tits hanging out of bikinis on daytime TV instead of the middle finger salute?
 
Hmm so Fox usurp the news about the Picasso and now Fox is the news.

I explained that. They see FOX, and they can't make the distinction. There was no accident about it and it was by more than just one person

What difference does it make anyway? It's all part of the Fox brand.

>>it was by more than just one person

Yeah, two.

Can someone please explain what the bias was in this story?

There is none... They are on a mission to convince people that Fox News is the media anti-Christ so the public will ignore them. They just can't stand the fact that one network would dare to deviate from the liberal media playbook, so in their eyes, they must be destroyed.
