Sorry, Bono. They weren't offended then, but they're offended now. And I quote:

"That decision ruled that the broadcast had not violated the indecency prohibition because Bono's use of the "F-word" had been fleeting and in a non-sexual context. The Commission overruled the Bureau decision and also concluded that other cases holding that isolated or fleeting use of the "F-word" are not indecent are no longer good law. The Commission further concluded that use of the "F-Word" in the context of the Golden Globe Awards was profane under 18 U.S.C. Section 1464."

This place is going to hell in a handbasket, isn't it?
