    New Indecency Legislation; Product Integration

    Enormous new fines for televised indecency may protect our children from the next Nipplegate, but what'll it do to the TV business? Plus, viewer beware! Subtle product integration invades the stories of your favorite shows. Thank God that could never happen on public radio. Man, I cold sure go for a Coke!
