Talk about a pricey piece of ass.

Save your applause for the final sentence.

The Federal Communications Commission has proposed a $1.4 million fine against 52 ABC Television Network stations over a 2003 broadcast of cop drama NYPD Blue.

The fine is for a scene where a boy surprises a woman as she prepares to take a shower. The scene depicted “multiple, close-up views” of the woman’s “nude buttocks” according to an agency order issued late Friday.

ABC is owned by the Walt Disney Co. The fines were issued against 52 stations either owned by or affiliated with the network.

FCC’s definition of indecent content requires that the broadcast “depicts or describes sexual or excretory activities” in a “patently offensive way” and is aired between the hours of 6 a.m. and 10 p.m.

The agency said the show was indecent because “it 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.”

U R dumped–one in seven say they have suffered the same fate as Britney Spears’ ex-husband and been told it’s all over via text message or e-mail, a survey said on Friday.

While hiding behind technology might appear a cowardly way of splitting up, it contrasts with the 4 percent who simply drop all communication with their lovers without notice.

“Most of us send e-mails and texts everyday, so it comes as no surprise they are now being used to ditch someone–however distasteful this is,” said Rob Barnes from Moneysupermarket.com, which carried out the survey.

“The results show 1 percent of the population would use a social-networking site to dump a partner. It would be interesting to see how this changes as sites such as Facebook and MySpace become more apparent in our everyday lives.”

One of the most high-profile victims of dumping by text was Kevin Federline, who reportedly received news that pop singer Spears was filing for divorce while being filmed for a television show.

The survey said 15 percent of the 2,194 people questioned had been dumped by text or e-mail, although a quarter of those in the most tech-savvy 18- to 24-year-old age group would choose the traditional method–a letter.

Look, kiddie porn and terrorism are bad. Obvious. But what better way for a government to push through controversial legislation quickly than to harness their emotive properties? After all, what self-respecting member of the US House of Representatives would vote against legislation called Securing Adolescents From Exploitation-Online, or SAFE? Only two, it turns out (Rep. Paul Broun from Georgia and Rep. presidential candidate, Ron Paul), with 409 members voting yesterday in favor. The new bill requires everyone (that includes you and Starbucks) offering an open WiFi connection to the public to be on the lookout for report known “illegal images” and “obscene” cartoons and drawings. The reporting requirement extends to cover social networking sites, ISPs, and email providers. Failing to dutifully report what you’ve seen (or haven’t seen but are unwittingly complicit in) could leave your data seized and in debt from fines of up to $300,000. This isn’t a call to arms, however . . .
