The Second Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that the FCC's 2004 declaration that "fleeting expletives" should be subject to a hefty fine is "arbitrary and capricious."
The FCC policy was established after U2 frontman and Christian world- hunger lobbyist Bono said during an NBC broadcast that winning a Golden Globe was "really, really !*&$^@# brilliant."
In the Bono decision, the FCC changed its definition of "fleeting" use, deciding that a certain word can be so vile that it runs afoul of the nation's indecency laws. The court's decision Monday appears to undo the Bono decision.
The rock star will continue to lobby the FCC to change its policy against vile celebrity sunglasses.
