Roanoke Station to Pay Big Bucks for Airing Porn

With the Internet around, hardly anyone pays for porn anymore.

But, one Roanoke station is about to pay up big for showing porn. 

The FCC hit WDBJ with a $325,000 fine "for apparently broadcasting extremely graphic and explicit sexual content, specifically a video image of a hand stroking an erect penis" during a newscast.

The images popped up in a story about an "ex-porn star" who had joined a local rescue squad.

In introducing the actress turned community helper, the station showed a page from an adult website featuring the woman. On the right side of the page were a series of boxes, one of which showed the "indecent" images.

"Although the box does not show the entire body or face of the apparently nude male depicted, the image shows a hand moving up and down the length of the shaft of the erect penis.

Which means WDBJ just paid for the most expensive hand job in history. You would think with call letters like wdBJ it would have been something else.

Just saying....
