I have decided to henceforth call the Federal Communications Commission the Fucking Cocksuckers Commission. What better language than two of George Carlin's seven filthy words for an organization that increasingly censors public language.
I was driving in my car yesterday when one of my favorite songs came on the air: "Rockstar" by Nickleback. I first heard this song on the station I was listening to at the time, Albany New York's PYX-106. I bought it from iTunes. It was only available as part of the whole album containing it, so I bought the whole album, even though I had no interest in the other songs. I like it that much. Well there were a couple of dropouts the first time through the chorus, which I thought were due to my radio reception, so I listened carefully the second time. "The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap" had been changed to "The girls come easy and the ----- come cheap", and "everbody's got a drug dealer on speed dial" became "everybody's got a boom boom on speed dial." They had cut the word "drug" out of the song, replacing the first "drug" with dead air and the second "drug dealer" with two drum hits. I had become accustomed to hearing "Don't give me that goody good bullshit" from Pink Floyd's "Money" turned into "Don't give me that goody good bull," but this was too much.
As Eric Idle put it, Fuck You Very Much the FCC. I dub thee the Fucking Cocksuckers Commission. Roast in hell, every one of you.

According to this post, it may be Clear Channel Communications, the owners of PYX-106, not the FCC, who are responsible for censorship of the word "drug". The FCC's court-approved censorship of "indecent speech" applies only to sexual and excretory references, not drugs. I'll stick with Fucking Cocksuckers Commission, but maybe we should call the station's owners Clueless Cocksuckers Communications.
