Expensive piece of Tail...

From the BBC...


US network faces $1m nudity fine

NYPD Blue ran
on ABC until 2005US
television network ABC may have to pay a fine of $1.4m
(£707,000) for airing an
episode of NYPD Blue which depicted female nudity.
The Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) said the 2003 show had
"multiple, close-up
views" of a woman's buttocks before the US watershed.

The FCC deems "sexual or excretory activities" shown in an "offensive"
way
before 2200 as indecent.

ABC has rejected the claims, saying the
buttocks are not a sexual organ.
The proposed penalty has been imposed on
all 52 of ABC's stations who
broadcast the episode.
The scene in the
police drama, which ran from
1993-2005, shows a boy surprising a naked woman
as she prepared to take a
shower.

The FCC said it received several
complaints about the sequence, which
also showed one of the woman's breasts.

...An ABC spokeswoman said that
the programme was broadcast with
parental warnings and that "the realistic
nature of NYPD Blue's storylines
was well-known to the viewing public".
The
broadcaster has said it will
appeal against the decision, which is the second
largest indecency fine
imposed on a broadcaster.

Seriously folks..get over it...MTV shows more in one video than NYPD Blue
EVER had... Oh right...the land of puritans!
