"Please ban free speech so this never happens again."

Quoting this Smoking Gun post:

In the wake of an Oprah Winfrey show that included explicit talk about teen sexuality (and addressed topics such as rainbows and getting one's salad tossed), the Federal Communications Commission received more than 1600 letters complaining about the racy March 18 broadcast and demanding that the talk show host be cited for indecency. And since most FCC correspondents were prodded to write by the agency's Public Enemy Number One, Howard Stern, and ABC late night host Jimmy Kimmel, the Oprah complaints are particularly entertaining and vituperative in their decrying of a double standard employed by the fine-happy FCC brass.
I particularly like the short-and-sweet nature of this letter.

Note that I had no idea what "tossed salad" meant in this context either until I looked it up (yes, I am a bit naive).

Amazing how some people spend their time huh? Next time you're bored and want to do something even more utterly boring, try looking at Chess GrandMasters. Seeing what they look like - it's easy to see just why took to chess when they could have been partying.
