What is this FCC? Sounds like a cencorshippers to me? What is its function? Why does it monitor anything?
All I gotta say is, if you don't like it, turn it off or change the channel. If boobies offend you, why continue being offended? I don't keep my hand on a burning stove, I take it away.
I like my radio with obscenity, crappy music, good music, and I like it can have it all, so I can choose what I want to listen at any moment.
If a womans naked boob is obscene, or wrong, or pornography if it's just a boob and not in porno movie, nothing wrong in it, and if someone thinks it is, I think they are the ones with the problem. Or, I'd like to hear those thoughts, why boobs are obscene, wrong or too much exposing of the female form. Sounds weird to me, I like my boobs on the telly. I like them on commercials, I like them on anywhere. I don't have to watch it, but often times I find the urge to watch it anyway. But it's my choice and I like it. If I have a kid, I won't be teaching the kid that boob is wrong and nasty. I mean, the baby is sucking on it more than daddy anyway for a long time.
Same for radio, if someone chooses to air obscenity, so be it. It can be boycotted sure, but it shouldn't be punished for it, if it's not illegal material. Don't like it? Fine, turn it off, offended beyond any beliefs? Fine, boycott. But don't censor it, or punish for it........
Only thing that is a factor is what Oerdin said, that kids might be seeing or hearing obscenity, which boobs are not, but excessive use of swear words could be. First responsibility is with the parents. They should know what the kid is listening. If the kid is past 12 and it's impossible to tell what they are listening, they should have the freedom to be listening it. I was listening a NASTY radio show when I was 11. I was a huge fan of it too and so were my friends. I can tell you right now it was a lot mroe nasty than Stern. But it was fun. Parents should spend more time with their kids anyway and not just put them in front of the stupid box all day long. Or watch with them and change the channel if they start showing boobies.
Censorship = Bad

Hmmm...
Far be it from me to defend Howard Stern--I think he's a ***** of the first-order.
BUT, I find it interesting that at the same time Clear Channel is removing him from their stations for "indecency", they are simultaneously putting Michael "you should only get AIDS and die, pig!" Savage on their station in Houston.
I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but it's not exactly a secret that Clear Channel is run by conservatives; Savage is an archconservative, while Stern is... heaven only knows, but he isn't Bush's biggest fan, that's for damned sure.

G, Clear channel is reacting to the enormous fine it received for sexual statements made by IIRC one Bubba Love. Removing Stern is about government censorship, not about politics.

Infinity to be fined. Stern to be fired.
"Signing on this morning (3/5), Stern said he was going to drop a bombshell. "I’m going to reveal information to you that is going to be very disturbing. So disturbing that I woke up at 3 o’clock in the morning. I couldn’t sleep, because I am preparing myself to become Jesus himself. A sacrificial lamb. My friends who listen to this show on a daily basis, some of you for 20 odd years – and they have been odd – I’m telling you, it is the end of an era. This country is so dangerously close to being absolutely no different than Iran. The religious right is winning. We are losing. Despite a Constitution that says separate religion from state, it’s not happening anymore. There’s a religious agenda. They are winning. They control the media. Clear Channel, Fox, all of them, all part of the religious right. We’ve lost. We’ve lost our airwaves. We’ve lost our freedoms. We will be a religious state within 20 years."
The bombshell weighing on Stern’s mind was a call from "somebody who feeds me information about what goes on behind the scenes at the FCC," tipping him that the FCC was going to fine Infinity today over alleged indecent segments of his show from three years ago. "I can’t tell you who called me. If I told you they would lose their livelihood," explained Stern. "When I got the call from my friend who gave me the heads up, I said ‘How sure are you?’ He said, ‘99% sure.’ Stupid me thought, ‘Well, he could be wrong.’"
