If this doesn't get me some rep points, nothing will. How Much Fox Will Be Fined for So You Think You Can Dance Vagina? By Brian Moylan, 2:43 PM on Wed Sep 30 2009, 70,926 views (Edit, to draft, Slurp) So far the public outrage hasn't been nearly as intense as Janet Jackson's Nipplegate, but once the thought of a naked ladyflower on prime time television settles in, the reaction will be huge. Next up, FCC fines. Last night, when a contestant on So You Think You Can Dance celebrated making it to the next round, she got so excited she fell to the floor, writhing in excitement, and let the camera film up her skirt. Too bad she wasn't wearing any panties. Oopsie! After the Janet Jackson debacle, where she showed her breast on live television during the Super Bowl halftime show, the reaction was immediate and fierce. After all, bare nipples are the greatest threat to our national order. Well, nipples and gay marriage are close, but nipples always win by a hair. Now there may have been a real live vagina on television, we have no idea what the precedents are. Viacom, the owner of CBS, paid $550,000 for showing first base, how much will Fox have to pony up for the whole infield? SOURCE IS GAWKER
Meh, not so bad. I recall back in college I was recording "Friends" and "The single guy" and during ratings week they had back to back episodes of the female leads in bathrobs getting into bed. In both of them, Courtney Cox and I forget the other lady, when they hoped into bed, if you froze it, you could see their private bits. I still think it was on purpose. DD
I saw this yesterday when someone sent it to me and decided not to post it here... I didn't think it was appropriate... but, eh, you managed to do it nicely, sir.
I think the FCC takes intentions into account. The Janet Jackson incident was clearly a planned part of the act, whereas this was an accident. Just like when someone purposely drops and F-bomb on the air, they are fined much more heavily than if someone accidently says it (ie..keep plucking that chicken) although..its usually much more entertaining when its accidental
Out of curiosity...do you think the FCC would impose a bigger fine for displaying vag on screen versus nipple? They are both considered nudity but one has always seemed far more taboo than the other. I mean, even those late night skin flick type movies on Cinemax don't show that much vagina, really. At least that's what I was told.
I've heard So You Think You Can Dance been losing big rating. I'm pretty sure they paid this girl to pull this off this stunt. Now you'll be seeing their rating will go up because it will attract alot of upskirts fans.
lol.....some things you should probably keep to your self....I mean, rewinding and pausing just to get the right frame to see some naughty bits? LOL.
Dude, that, drinking, chasing skirt and Nintendo were all we did in College.....oh, a little studying too.... I might still have the tapes.... DD
You also claimed that Erin Andrews let herself be videotaped as a PR stunt... http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=172367&page=1&pp=20 You are quite the nudity conspiracy theorist, aren't you?
Dude, I completely ruined the VHS tape I had of Fast Times at Ridgemont High by pausing the Phoebe Cates scene repeatedly. Man, the internet makes it too easy now.
Or maybe we should employ Occam's Razor and say that she was wearing flesh toned dance pants. You know, something elite dancers wear. Since she was good enough to pass into the 2nd round, I'm pretty sure she's aware of what a skirt would do when she's dancing. Or, you can go on dreaming that professional dancers dance without underwear secretly .
I'm assuming this was taped and played back, which means they had plenty of time to edit or blur it. But they didn't.
