Censoring Christmas?
If you didn’t see it last week, you might want to check it out now. Basic Premise from the New York Times:
“The nearly three-minute digital film, shown on 'Saturday Night Live' last Saturday, was a parody of two boy-band singers (including one played by the real Justin Timberlake) crooning a holiday song about making a gift to their girlfriends of their male anatomy, which they appeared to have wrapped in boxes (strategically placed) and then topped with bows.”
Why is this important?
It is yet another example of how the web is revolutionizing or at the very least, challenging, the world as we know it.
According to the NYT article, the FCC does not have jurisdiction over what is published on the web. Or does it? Should it?
I think this is going to get very interesting very fast. Keep an eye on this story and how it develops… we might have to find ourselves writing letters to out elected officials.
