I found this yesterday on Foxnews.com
NEW YORK — On Sept. 11, 2001, not many people were thinking how pop culture would be affected by the attacks, but the months that followed revealed a kinder, gentler entertainment world -- sort of.
At least the guilty-pleasure barometer dipped for a while.
But just months after radio giant Clear Channel issued a list of songs with "sensitive" lyrics, shock jocks Opie and Anthony broadcast a live account of a couple's sex act in St. Patrick's Cathedral.
"It would've been great if Sept. 11 really could've conformed our culture -- a little less violence and wise-guy-ironic -- but you can't expect a culture to change that fundamentally based on one day," said Robert Thompson, pop culture professor at Syracuse University.
Do you think they will find a way to mention the "Play by play sex act in St. Pat's" in a story about Iraq?
Fox Stinks!!
