Does the Parents Television Council have anything else to do other than...
watch dirty TV and file complaints to the FCC? These 5 folks need to find a new hobby!!

Already identified by the FCC as the primary -- if not virtually the exclusive -- source of complaints about broadcast indecency, the Parents Television Council on Wednesday demanded that Congress investigate how the agency counts the complaints it receives. L. Brent Bozell, head of the conservative Media Research Center, which includes the PTC, said in a statement, "FCC officials have there were only 159 complaints filed over Fox's Married by America raunchfest when PTC members alone filed 4,073 complaints. One simply can't believe numbers provided by the FCC."

4. If Brian thinks TV is so bad for everyone then he should start...
...his own cable company. He could advertise it as a "Family Friendly Cable Company" where there would be no cursing, swearing, sexual innuendos, violence (Cept when they air The Passion of the Christ over and over like TBS does with Shawshank Redemption) and anything else that could corrupt a child.

They could compete against Comcast, Dish, DirecTV and all those other cable providers and give families a choice.

Then they can stop meddling in my life!!!

5. He is the vilest of the vile.

His group PTC was responsible for 99.8% of complaints to FCC about that
Janet Jackson tit incident.

This fuck, in concert with that freak Congressman from San Diego (Hunter?? something), want to go after cable and the internet next.

How ironic if Fox wins the argument over who complains!

On edit: Olbermann compared him and PTC to the McCarthy witch-hunters last night. Bravo Keith!
