Swearing Potentially Ten Times As Expensive

I missed this in the welter of Howard Stern nonsense this week: a proposal to increase the maximum fine for indecency (temptation to use scare quotes just barely resisted there) on network and radio from $27,500 to $275,000.

Thanks for that, Fred Upton. Thanks a lot. Now all we need is for Wayne Brady and Ryan Seacrest to say “fuck” a few times, and this deficit thing will take care of itself.

Also, apparently, the NBC affiliate in Salt Lake City doesn’t air SNL. But is this because they’re Mormons, or just because they think it’s fallen off in recent years? The AP is tantalizingly oblique on the subject.
