FCC's grand total in fines for 2005: $0.00

Clearly, there’s “post 9/11,” and then there’s “post nipple/04”.

After levying a record amount ($7.9 million) of fines last year, this year the FCC fined…no one at all.

This has the Concerned Parents of Earth, or whatever they call themselves, ready to riot, but it’s a sort of chicken-and-egg-argument: Did the FCC fine no one in 2005 because, having fined so many so much (thank you, Janet) last year, everyone was on their best behavior? (Well, except you, CSI.)
