The whole halftime show was smutty, not just the flash at the climax; and you teaching can't walk two blocks in any densely populated area without hearing teaching someone cursing. Social mores have changed considerably in the last four decades, and the FCC isn't exactly equipped to change them back again. So teaching no matter how much the government does, there's going to be pressure on it to do more; the censors' victories will feel as frustrating as their defeats. That's why it's possible for Michael Copps to wail that his commission isn't "taking a firm stand against indecency on the airwaves" even as it's taking its firmest stand in years. Meanwhile, many defenders of free speech have backed themselves into a corner. Last year's movement against media consolidation was an uncomfortable alliance between people who wanted to expand the available range of expression and people more eager to eliminate expression they dislike.
