FCC Makes ‘Fucking Brilliant’ Decision

The FCC has ruled U2 singer Bono’s utterance of the phrase “fucking brilliant” on live television following the band’s Golden Globe win in January, to be an acceptable and “fucking brilliant” use of the word. Given the context of the statement and that it “did not describe sexual or excretory organs or activities,” the FCC was cool with the singer’s “fucking brilliant” outburst. Conversely, the Parents Television Council did not think is was “fucking brilliant” for the FCC to make the “fucking brilliant” ruling that saying “fucking brilliant” was, in fact, a “fucking brilliant” thing for Bono to say.
