TV Prudes Peeved Over Pee-pee Peekaboo

Posted Oct 2nd 2008 12:20PM by TMZ Staff

Talk about giving a guy a complex, when a network says his genitals are "undetectable."

The high and mighties at the Parents Television Council are on the warpath again, filing an indecency complaint with the FCC after Marcus Lehman's bits aired unobscured on the debut of "Survivor: Gabon." It was the first episode in the show's history to be shown in hi-def and yet no one noticed the guy's twig and berries hanging out. Don't worry Marcus, we've always heard it's more in how you use it, anyway.

CBS claims it was "completely unintentional, inadvertent, and fleeting" and "undetectable when viewed in real time." PTC says, "CBS's decision to hide behind excuses ... is the epitome of irresponsibility."

4. I LOVE Survivor and i am a dedicated viewer and i have to say i didn't notice this at all but the show is always up every girls crotch or down her bathing suit any chance they get, sometimes they even have to blob out some girls ass or nipple so i have to say that i think they are going for some T&A for sure to get more viewers.

5. There has been nudity on Survivor from day one...Richard Hatch walked around naked constantly. And what about when
Heidi and Jenna stripped for peanut butter. It is no big deal. I really don't think that kids are sitting around watching survivor hoping to see some skin. Not when they can turn on a soap opera or watch a music video. I honestly believe that there are people out there who will complain about anything under the sun. I watch Survivor with my 12 year old son and never once has he turned to me and said..."Gee, that chick is hot I hope to see some T's and A's.' We watch it because you can learn about different places and cultures and he likes the competitions. We watched the premire of Survivor and didn't see anything falling out of anyone's pants..probably one of those blink and you miss it moments. Makes me wonder how many times someone had to rewind it to catch it. I want to start a group called "Sane and reasonable people commitee againts idiots who complain about everything"...anyone want to join?

6. Are you kidding me! What are they using a microscope? I can't see any thing I shouldn't be seeing.

7. Tbe PTC are ignorant idiots. They have a lot of free time to grasp at nothing. And they want tv shows to change their standards for them. When if they're going to be such tightwads, they shouldn't let their kids watch so much tv. Such a simple solution. What idiots.

8. Well most of all it's pretty sick in the first place to have your hairy giggles floppin' around like that anyway. I mean come on. As a guy? You just KNOW when your stuff is gonna 'accidentally' slip out. I say that was on purpose. Sue the guy.

11. That sounds likje a double standard they didn't complain when the girls boobs are exposed or there is a nipple slip. why worry about something as small as his wiener

12. who the hell cares. moreso, this is the best this lame website can cover? i mean, honestly. how many days on the same tedious story? why not just proposition the guy to see it up close. jeez.

13. It was really difficult to see. I don't get what the big deal is about. The PTC sounds like a bunch of whackjobs.....

14. Where is the complaints when viagra and other male enhancement products are shoved down our throats during a football game every 2 mins?Do they not know that kids are watching too? 75 yr old men shouldn't be having sex anyway,its bad for their heart.

15. The Parent Television Council can use this as an opportunity to tell little Sally and Joey why their pee pee's are different and to always wear clean underwear because you never know when you are going to be in an emergency room, or on a nationally televised reality TV show.

Now really. I have normal eyesight, watched the vid and did not see any penis. I don't know why a man, in a hot country like Gabon would let his boys hang low in hot weather, wear shorts, and run around and compete in a comp, and not realize he could be putting his future fatherhood in danger, or his present penis in pain.
