Censor Me

MTV notes that in his first speech as head of the Federal Communications Commission, Chairman Kevin Martin strongly suggested on Tuesday that the cable industry clean up its act and shield children from indecent content.

But Martin's speech at the National Cable & Telecommunications Association's convention in San Francisco was overshadowed by a fiery talk by Wisconsin Republican congressman F. James Sensenbrenner Jr., who said he'd rather see indecent broadcasters thrown in jail.

In a semi-related note: here is NWA's gangsta rap album "Straight Outta Compton" after being edited down so only the profanities remain. The EPR (explicit content ratio) for each track is given with 'Fuck Tha Police' as the most explicit track on the album, with an EPR of 12.1%.
