Yet another "only in JesusLand". It would appear that people have complained to the FCC claiming that the opening ceremony for the Athens Olympics were obscene. From the Washington Post:
my children saw an exposed breast during the opening eremonies

also
"How could NBC be allowed to show the male genitalia on national television" during the opening ceremonies.
"I am referring to when the giant white mask that broke apart into a statue of a nude man," the writer explained. (Actually, the writer is referring to the gigantic replica of a Cycladic head, so popular around 2700 B.C., that broke apart to reveal a replica of a Kouros sculpture, all the rage around the 6th century B.C

I enjoyed the LA Times piece on this:
Greece does not wish to be drawn into an American culture war.
