FOX Refuses to Pay Indecency Fine

HAHAHAHAHAHA.

Defying federal regulators, Fox Television said today it won't pay a $91,000 indecency fine levied recently by the Federal Communications Commission for a 2003 episode of a reality television show that featured strippers and whipped cream.

Fox said in a prepared statement that it won't pay the fine imposed against five of its stations because it believes the FCC's decision that the show in question was indecent was "arbitrary and capricious, inconsistent with precedent, and patently unconstitutional."

This is not, by any means, an endorsement of indecency laws (I think they're silly); I wanted to highlight the brazen hypocrisy that is FOX.
