The FCC recently fined Fox $1.2M for their "sexually suggestive" show Married In America. One individual, via a Freedom of Information Act request obtained documents which disputed the FCC's original claim of the number of people who protested, and found that the campaign was ultimately the work of about three individuals, who managed to effectively lobby the FCC to punish a network producing a show they personally found offensive. Think about that the next time you feel powerless in effecting change.
