Anyone with an internet or cable connections can see a LOT of nudity and foul language. The FCC is a paper tiger in the end. They are completely out of touch with new trends in culture. The attitudes about sexuality and nudity in the US are becoming more like Europe’s. The FCC only regulates broadcast TV and radio, both which are in decline.

My dictionary uses "anus" as a synonym for "butt." It also begs the question if the human asshole is so unoffense to the public, why do you use the term "Asshat?"
