Fab Fridays: FCC FU

Occasionally we like to share a little Friday fun with our readers so they can enjoy the weekend. Check our past Fun entries, especially Weird Al Yankovic's song and video "Don't Download This Song", the Camp Chaos Napster Bad animated series featuring Metallica, and archived DiaRIAA.


Today's target is the FCC, known for its inconsistent and heavy handed regulation of U.S. broadcast video and music, including the half million US fine for Howard Stern's show. The federal agency destroys reports that it doesn't like. But then that's nothing new to the current U.S. Administration and its appointees who create their own verson of reality.


A new site called FCCFU has quite a bit of fun on the topic with video and music downloads. Their anthem is sung to the tune of "My Country 'Tis of Thee." The first two stanzas:



My country used to be

Sweet land of liberty

That once was true

Until the FCC

Chose what we hear and see

On radio and on TV

FCC FU!


When you deny our choice

You censor every voice

That's what you do

We'd say "go fly a kite"

But that's far too polite

For stealing First Amendment rights

FCC FU!
