Ravens' Flacco Drops the F-Bomb

PTC says FCC needs to step up

There was (thankfully) no wardrobe malfunction during CBS' broadcast of the Super Bowl, but there was a fleeting expletive.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco dropped the F-bomb. Celebrating the win while embracing teammate Marshal Yanda, Flacco said, "This is f-ing awesome."

CBS failed to catch it. (Technically, the expletive was made during the live broadcast of the game when the network is not on broadcast delay.)

Parents Television Council pounced and is calling on the Federal Communications Commission to take action.
