FCC reverses itself on Bono

The FCC has decided that it will pursue Bono for saying the "F" word on TV.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) overruled its staff and said an expletive uttered by rock singer Bono during an awards show acceptance speech on NBC was both indecent and profane. It marked the first time that the FCC cited a four-letter word as profane; the commission previously equated profanity with language challenging God's divinity.
