Here's to censorship and hypersensitivity

TV Stations Cancel 'Saving Private Ryan'
Several ABC affiliates have announced that they won't take part in the network's Veterans Day airing of "Saving Private Ryan," saying the acclaimed film's violence and language could draw sanctions from the Federal Communications Commission.
These FCC sanctions are out of control. Provocative ads suggesting sex and alcohol use during programs intended for and watched by millions of underage youth is highly promoted, but Saving Private Ryan on Veterans Day is off limits... Nice.
