Local junk mailer wants to criminally prosecute indecency

[Joseph S]

Well, it seems the same guy who sent me junk mail at my expense last week has gone bonkers.

Rep. F. James Sensenbrenner III (R-Wis.) says criminal prosecution would be a more efficient way to enforce the indecency regulations.

"I'd prefer using the criminal process rather than the regulatory process," Sensenbrenner said this week at the National Cable & Telecommunications Association conference in San Francisco.

The current system — in which the FCC fines a station for violating the regulations — isn't working, he said.

"People who are in flagrant disregard should face a criminal process rather than a regulator process," Sensenbrenner said. "That is the way to go. Aim the cannon specifically at the people committing the offenses, rather than the blunderbuss approach."

Sensenbrenner could not say immediately how the law would work.

Anyone know how to get off the list to save postage and paper? Clearly there's no useful info in what he's mailing me. This is beyond ridiculous. What's next? The death penalty for a nipple?
