"Who the fuck are you?" - US parents

An ultra conservative parents' group in America is demanding a fine to be levied on US network ABC for violating broadcast standards.

The Parents Television Council is urging authorities to take action against the network and its affiliates because it failed to censor a single swear word during the recent Live 8 concert in London's Hyde Park on July 2, 2005.

The offending song was "Who Are You" and the line was "who the fuck are you?" performed by Roger Daltry and Pete Townshend of The Who.

The hysterical television council filed an official complaint against WJLA in Washington, D.C., and asked authorities to take action against all ABC stations for failing to censor The Who's performance!

A spokesman for the parents' group said that the stations had broadcast obscenities and violated decency standards.

The American Broadcasting Company replied in a very defensive tone: "Unfortunately, one inappropriate phrase sung by one performer was initially missed and made it into the East Coast network feed."
