    FCC regulations regarding obscenities on broadcast media

    they vaguely describe dark hours. Maybe 10 years ago I heard the full version of Rage
    Against the Machine's ... which ever song
    says 'fuck you I won't do what you tell me' a lot on the radio around 1am. I called the
    late night DJ and was told about these hours. Comedy Central runs an uneditted movie
    with normally unacceptable language late at night under the title 'the stash'.

    Heh. After 9pm, completely normal even on free-to-air broadcast tv. Over here, anyway.

    Remember all the shennanigans after that chick flashed her boobs at the superbowl? We had the footage being broadcast on the evening news here, to properly demonstrate what all the americans were so outraged about.

    You guys can be so uptight sometimes :)

    Comedy central routinely airs uncut 'mature' shows after hours. No nudity, though, just profanity.
