An actor’s testicles hung out of his costume on stage during the Olympics Opening Ceremony show that featured a drag-queen version of the Last Supper, one of the holiest moments of Christianity. They were the balls viewed ’round the world. And the tableau was followed by drag performances of various types, including one number depicting the Greek god Dionysus who appeared to be mostly naked but covered in blue paint.
Now, Judicial Watch, a conservative watchdog group, has filed a Federal Communications Commission complaint against NBC for airing obscene and indecent content from the Olympics Opening Ceremony.
Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in the complaint that NBC and its stations/outlets on TV, cable, and internet carried (and continues to make available) the Olympics Opening Ceremony on July 26, which included an adult male purposefully exposing himself in the presence of a child/children. There was a child performer on the stage during the exposure.
“This content is both obscene and indecent and, to make matters worse, was aired during viewing hours when it was likely seen by millions of children and minors,” the complaint said. “The obscene/indecent content occurred during a portion of the ceremonies that mocked Jesus Christ and the Last Supper. The Olympics was forced to issue an apology over the content.”
From the televised performance, it’s impossible to tell if the actor’s testicles were actually exposed or were sheathed by a body suit that accentuated his genitals.
According to the FCC, “federal law prohibits obscene, indecent and profane content from being broadcast on the radio or TV.” The FCC further states:
Obscene content does not have protection by the First Amendment. For content to be ruled obscene, it must meet a three-pronged test established by the Supreme Court: It must appeal to an average person’s prurient interest; depict or describe sexual conduct in a “patently offensive” way; and, taken as a whole, lack serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value.
Indecent content portrays sexual or excretory organs or activities in a way that is patently offensive but does not meet the three-prong test for obscenity.
The FCC says airing obscene or indecent content is a federal crime, but this is a case that may be dismissed by the lower court due to First Amendment claims.
“The blasphemous Olympics’ Opening Ceremony which included, among other obscene and indecent acts, a man partially exposing himself around children, is patently offensive for any sensible American and requires immediate FCC action against NBC” Fitton said. “The Justice Department should also launch an investigation, especially given the use of children in this obscene and indecent NBC broadcast.”
All I saw was a bunch of fruits and nuts
What, exactly, does Judicial Watch want done?
I get it was in extremely poor taste
and sacrilegious, but it’s over and occurred in another country. It’s not like they can get a redo.
This feels like virtue signaling.
“What, exactly, does Judicial Watch want done?………”
I don’t know what Judicial Watch wants, but as an offended party, I’d like to see NBC fined several billion dollars or so. If they insist on advancing their sick agenda, I want them to pay dearly for it.
Well and good. But I don’t think Judicial Watch can file a complaint on your behalf. At least not without your active permission.
I want to know WHY and what they intend to accomplish if successful.
It takes more than lawsuits to make changes within the media systems and government agencies of the nations. It is a matter of “spiritual wickedness in high places”. It is a matter of their wickedness. This is a spiritual battle. We need to bind the works of the devil and loose those that are bound by the devil. Christians have a job to do and the Christian church has been lulled to sleep by the teaching what’s been around for decades that “I’m okay, you’re okay “ when we should be putting on the armor of God and standing up against the wickedness the evil one has dumped on this country. I like Ephesians 6:12-18 AMPC .
NBC paid over $7 Billion for broadcast rights. Fine them $5 Billion and they’ll make sure it doesn’t happen again.
Wardrobe malfunction.
Good for Judicial Watch. The entire debacle sounds disgusting, offensive, and disrespectful of Christians as well as viewers and athletes. The Olympics are about sports and nations coming together in peace and even unity for the sake of competition. Where would parody of religion and gross pornography remotely play in? Really sickening and definitely violation of FCC rules albeit maybe the news network had no idea what they were about to broadcast.
It is a matter of wickedness. This is a spiritual battle. We need to bind the works of the devil and loose those that are bound by the devil. Christians have a job to do and the Christian church has been lulled to sleep by the teaching what’s been around for decades that “I’m okay, you’re okay “ which has put fear of reprisal in the hearts of Gods people. We should be putting on the armor of God and standing up against the wickedness the evil one has dumped on this country. We can take authority over the wickedness in the mighty name of Jesus to bind the devil and loose those bound by the devil. Ephesians 6: 12-18 AMPC SAYS IT BEST!
This is how it’s done.
It’s about time the networks were called out for all those balls hanging out with the kids present. This was the most grotesque opening ceremony for the Olympics ever. Nobody was asked for their consent, but we were forced to see that. Where is the #metoo lynch mob? There need to be consequences when people do this in front of kids. Gross.
It is more than just due to children being present. It is a matter of their wickedness. This is a spiritual battle. We need to bind the works of the devil and loose those that are bound by the devil. Christians have a job to do and the Christian church has been lulled to sleep by the teaching what’s been around for decades that “I’m okay, you’re okay “ when we should be putting on the armor of God and standing up against the wickedness the evil one has dumped on this country.
Wouldn’t surprise me if it was done on purpose. what a bunch of whackos…..
How about a class action lawsuit from millions of people? This exposure was rehearsed.
Anyone remember Janet Jackson’s breast popping out during 2004 Super Bowl halftime show???
Maybe this was just a little “Tit for tat”???
Gotta keep the kids interested in what else is lurking under those kinky suits….
You have to be mad about Disney.
You have to be mad about Miller Lite.
You have to be mad about the NFL.
You have to be mad about Nike.
You have to be mad about Taylor Swift.
Now you have to be mad about the Olympics.
Being a Trumper is just exhausting.
Try being woke.
If there is nothing actually offensive happening, you search to find something to call offensive.
The exciting news across most news sites today is the prisoner swap with Russia. No doubt readers of MRAK will be the last informed of this “good news.”
It looks like his thigh is sticking out through a tear in his tights. Nothing more.
That is not his thigh, this is sick perversion and in front of a child?
This is not a battle against human distracting actions. This is a battle, a war against spiritual wickedness in high places! We need to put on the armor of God ( Ephesians 6:11-18) to stand against the wiles of the devil. We need to begin to bind the works of the devil and pray that those bound by his wickedness be loosed and set free in the mighty name of Jesus! Have you red the back of The Book? We win! 1 Corinthians 16:13 AMPC “Be alert and on your guard; stand firm in your faith (your conviction respecting man’s relationship to God and divine things, keeping the trust and holy fervor born of faith and a part of it). Act like men and be courageous; grow in strength! [Paslm 31:24.]
Just because you’re offended doesn’t mean you’re right.
