bio-peter.gif Fox pixellated a cartoon character's posterior on a recent broadcast of the Family Guy because of concerns about violating current indecency standards. This episode was a rerun of a cartoon that first aired five years ago without obscuring the cartoon ass. The AP reports: Fox says it pixillated a cartoon rear end because of FCC worries: "We have to be checking and second-guessing ourselves now, and that's really difficult," Fox entertainment president Gail Berman said Monday. "We have to protect our affiliates."
