The Mediaweek story said that the number of complaints to the FCC in 2003 totaled 240,000, which was up from a mere 14,000 in 2002. People complaining to the FCC in both 2001 and 2000 numbered about 350 in each year. So, let's see, that's roughly the amount of people in three BART train cars on your morning commute.

Representing the entire country.

Until the Parents Television Council got wise to the Internet, of course. The Mediaweek story said Powell went to Congress in 2003 and played the town crier, saying there was "a dramatic rise in public concern and outrage about what is being broadcast into their homes."

Except there wasn't. The FCC -- no surprise to anyone who knows this bunch of Play-Doh-spined public servants -- were used.
