Fox under fire for broadcast

I've always had a soft spot in my heart for anyone who can manage to squeeze the word "Fuck" into a national telecast. It's not often that a crowd shot overshadows a playoff game, but this screen shot from the Eagles/Saints game this past weekend has been stuck in my head.

This gal made the broadcast for all of 7 seconds. (Maybe the TV camera monitor was fogged up - of the Director was stoned.) This gal makes news two times today. First, Maxim magazine wants to know who she is. They want to do a photo shoot with her. If you recognize her, contact Maxim. And, (drum roll) - The director of the Parents Television Council is telling its members to complain to the Federal Communications Commission.

The director of the activist group says, "There is no doubt that this was an intentional airing of patently offensive language on the public airwaves."

I wore the exact same shirt on the air this morning - and didn't get one complaint.

Hey Bri, Not to seem like an ass but I think that was the Eagles - Saints game. Not the bears.
