Props to the 1st amendment This election year, the impact of grassroots organizing on the internet is pricking up some ears in Washington. Here's something to add to the chorus.

I hope posting a petition here isn't too hamfisted but if anything will help erase the impact of JJ's boob on the collective conscious, it seems like a good idea.

I actually wrote to CBS and the FCC saying I'll take one boob over a thousand killings and beatings any day. Doesn't seem like the're listening to that viewpoint. Or maybe I'm very much in the minority.

Fed up with the government deciding what you can watch
When did this happen? The public's majority opinion backs the FCC whom then enforces the law(s).

FCC Faces Suit on Regulation of Digital Broadcast Television

You may be younger than "death on TV", as CBS has been showing death in the news for decades now; boobs are new.

You were bottle fed as a kid, eh thom?

In terms of declared action, the wording of the petition is a little vague, but I signed it. What the hell.

Forward men into total apathy of morals. With our newly disenfranchised morals we can study genetics, make better, bigger, stronger, boobs.

We have the technology, we can rebuild them.
