Boobs on C-SPAN
This is just awesome.

Our senate was given a report by the National institute for Media (NIM, weren't those the guys with the superintelligent rats in that really great Don Bluth movie, can't remember what the movie was named). The report must have been really bad, because NIM decided to punch it up with a video of "The Guy Game" a really crappy cross between "You Don't Know Jack" and "Girls Gone Wild".

In their presentation, they show clips of the bikini-clad bimbos taking off their tops. Of course, anything that is even vaguely interesting in the Senate gets put on C-Span, so sure enough, we've got breasts on C-Span!! Wow!

Warning: this link has the story, related images, and much more ( link )

So, if the FCC fines the Senate the same way they did Janet Jackson, isn't that like the executive branch taxing the Legislative branch? Isn't that illegal, regarding checks and balances? And if not, does this mean that George can finance any war he wants without congressional approval, just by fining them 80 billion dollars for showing tits on TV?

Okay, so thinking about it, that probably wouldn't work, because C-Span isn't actually run by the legislature, and besides, it's cable, it doesn't get regulated by the FCC (wow, got enough commas, Brand?) So now, knowing that there's nothing the executive branch can do about showing breasts on C-Span, and given that they're probably going to see a lot more viewers paying attention (the same way adolescents will watch scrambled porn channels because, every few minutes, the picture is totally clear), does this mean that C-Span might decide to do this more often?

C-Span might try to convince the Senators to have more racy displays, and tackle the hard-hitting issues like excessive sunbathing, and indecent hemlines. Someday, we could see, "Girls Gone Wild: The Girls of the DNC".

The revolution may not be televised, but television may bring on the revolution.
