[–] wolfeh@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 day ago (1 child) I've always wondered about that line, since MTV is cable channel and not actually regulated by the FCC. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] TootSweet@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago I suspect "MTV" rhyming with "FCC" and "let me be" and "me be me" was worth more than technical correctness. The FCC did try to "shut Eminem down." There was an incident where a radio station played a sanitized version of his song "The Real Slim Shady" and the FCC still fined the radio station claiming even the "clean" version was still too indecent for broadcast. The whole thing had nothing to do with "MTV", but yeah. permalink fedilink source parent
