If anyone saw South Park last night (not their best show, not their worse), they nonetheless put this whole indecency thing (at the end of the episode) into a nutshell.

In any case, it's a presidential election year, and whether it's Stern, FCC, the new Justice Department hire, Clear Channel, the crackdown on advertisers of gambling ... it's been so far a three week concerted effort by right-wing conservatives and ultra-Christian whackos to try to SPIN that there is a (lmao) desire and (cough, spew) a "mandate" by the public at large for this behavior.

Meanwhile, the public at large are: watching Striparella and The Man Show, spending 10 billion a year on porn, 30 billion on gambling, waiting for more new South Park episodes, shopping at Hustler clothing stores, trying to find Paris Hilton mpegs, making the World Poker Tour the highest Travel Channel program, and turning into Unscrewed every night instead of Letterman.

Problem is politicans have the power and many of them have a constinuency that will back them up at the polls and other places. It's almost always easier to fire up those who are against something and get them to go to polls and make a ton of noise than it is to rally the people who are for something. Especially when their is a rather large "morality" factor invloved.
