FOX says indecency complaints to FCC coming from fakers

For YEARS the FCC has had an issue with detailing what is considered indecent content for the American public, but you would think there would actually have to BE an American public issuing complaints, right? Welp, it looks as though that might not be the case.

In responding to a number of complaints in Miami, Florida about an episode of Family Guy that was considered too indecent by FCC standards, FOX decided to do a bit more investigating on their own and what they found was astounding. According to BroadcastingCable.com:

“Each of these letters (complaints), however, was postmarked from a Miami, Florida post office notwithstanding that the ‘viewers’ claimed to be from 16 different communities,” Fox told the FCC. “Worse still, Fox’s subsequent investigation revealed that every single ‘address’ in the complaints was fraudulent. Rather than consumer homes, the addresses appearing on the complaints corresponded to empty fields, vacant lots, parking areas, retail establishments, or industrial facilities. A substantial number of independently-owned television stations affiliated with the Fox Network received similar complaints, with the same flaws and also all postmarked from a Miami, Florida post office.”

Can you believe that shit? There are actually people out there that issue FCC complaints with FAKE addresses! HAHAHAHAHA. That’s like living in a state where they screw up the popular vote counting and thereby turning the result of a Presidential Election to a Supreme Court that votes OPPOSITE of the people. Crazy, right?

In any case, FOX continued to shovel it on the FCC and rightfully so. Saying that if the FCC really accepts complaints from non-existent people, then any constitutional ground they stand on is suspect at best and subject for review. Whether or not that actually happens is anyone’s guess, but it just goes to show that the FCC is about as important as a poopy-flavored lollipop.
