Having fun with the FCC Whine-o-Matic

Kevin Kelleher shares some fun he had with the Parents Television Council's complaint form:

"I went to the above URL and emailed the following complaint, signing it as Bill O'Reilly of Fox News. Lo and behold, it was instantly sent to all five FCC commissioners. Maybe other BB readers can enjoy it too. Oh, and don't forget to stop by the PTC gift shop!"

Here's what he submitted:

"I woke up this morning and it suddenly dawned on me that, gee willikers, my show stinks! I have no idea what I'm talking about and I am a menace to the broadcast industry. Shut me up before I open my big yap again!

"By the way, I am writing this from the Parents Television Council's web site. They make it so easy for people like me to send an email complaining to the FCC about anything we want.

"According to Mediaweek, 99.8 percent of the complaints going to the FCC about indecency are coming from this very web site. Only who knows how many of them are legitimate and representative of the will of the great American public? — Bill O'Reilly, Fox News"
