FCC Rejects Angel Indecency Complaint.It was one of two scenes from a November 2003 episode of "Angel" that were not "sufficiently graphic or explicit to render the program patently offensive" by contemporary standards, the FCC said in denying an indecency complaint from the Parents Television Council.
...
One scene involved Angel in an intimate moment with a female character in which Angel's hips are seen "moving back and forth," the Parents Television Council said in its complaint.
In the scene depicting the female vampire biting the neck of her partner, also a vampire, both characters had clothes on and "their breathing is heavy," the complaint said.
What's particularly amusing is that the episode in question,
"Destiny," involves the longest, most violent, knock-down drag-out fight in all 12 seasons of Buffyverse. The two characters go at it for like thirty straight minutes. It's brutal.
Passion-of-the-Christ brutal.
In any event, why would you
watch a show about vampires in the first place if you're this easily bugged out? Oh, wait, I know
why.
(Thanks to Neilbear for the pointer.)
