Saving Private Ryan from America

66 ABC affiliates, covering a third of the country refused to show a Veterans Day airing of Saving Private Ryan because they were afraid that the FCC could fine them because of the film's violent content and language. The stations were nervous because of the fine levied in September resulting from Janet Jackson's breast baring incident during the Superbowl.

I wonder if these same 66 stations will refuse to air the heartwarming Mothers Day lesbian three-way on ABC's Desperate Houswives.
