NYPD BLue Buttocks Scene MAy Cost $1.4 Million
Saturday, January 26th, 2008
A scene from the drama NYPD Blue, back in 2003 may cost them over $1.4 Million in fines from the Federal Communications Commission. Hopefully they had some sort of futures broker on this so they weren’t losing out ont he interest the last 5 years.
In a 2003 episode of ‘NYPD Blue,’ Charlotte Ross was shown naked from behind as she prepared to take a shower. As punishment, the Federal Communication Commission has proposed fining 52 ABC affiliates $1.4 million because the scene “depicts sexual organs and excretory organs — specifically an adult woman’s buttocks.”
The agency rejected the network’s argument that “the buttocks are not a sexual organ.”
