This is a formal COMPLAINT of indecency on broadcast television. My complaint concerns the PROGRAM ON:

NETWORK: Fox and Affiliate Stations

STATION CALL LETTERS:

PROGRAM TITLE: NASCAR's "Coca-Cola 600" which was broadcast on:

BROADCAST DATE: May 29, 2011

BROADCAST START TIME: 6:00PM Eastern/Pacific, 5:00PM Central/Mountain

Documentation of the material on which my COMPLAINT is based is provided below.  Video tapes of the "Coca-Cola 600" are available from the American Family Association.

COMPLAINANT believes that the scenes cited from "Coca-Cola 600" content are fully representative of the show's overall tone and quality.

COMPLAINANT also believes that such material is:

(a.) Clearly offensive according to the standards of my community; and
(b.) Especially offensive because it was broadcast at an hour when millions of children were watching.

For the reasons above stated, COMPLAINANT urges the FCC to exercise its responsibility to enforce the existing law against indecency on broadcast TV between the hours of 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. (Title 18, U.S. Code, Section 1464) by levying severe sanctions against the broadcasters of this program.

Documentation --------------

On May 29, 2011 , Fox broadcast "Coca-Cola 600"

At approximately 9:47PM Central/Mountain, 10:47PM Eastern, Fox broadcast a radio transmission between race car driver Jimmie Johnson and crew chief Chad Knaus following Johnson's motor breaking. Crew chief Knaus spoke to Johnson over the team's radio, which Fox network stations broadcast live.  Below is a transcript of the transmission:

KNAUS: "You got to be fucking kidding me."

FOX ANNOUNCER: "Caution. And we apologize for Chad Knaus' language over the radio to Jimmie Johnson."

COMPLAINANT RESPECTFULLY REQUESTS THAT THE FCC ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT OF THIS COMPLAINT, AND THAT THE FCC KEEP ME INFORMED OF THE PROGRESS AND RESULTS OF YOUR INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER.
