"X Factor" ... more like XXX Factor ... if you ask the Parents Television Council -- which is now promising to file a formal indecency complaint with the FCC over the contestant who dropped trou on stage last night.
In case you missed it -- a wannabe singer named Geo Godley whipped out his junk in the middle of his performance on the show ... and it all aired on X Factor. Producers added a graphic to cover the guy's man zone.
But PTC President Tim Winter is furious ... saying, "If Godley performed his act in public, he would have been arrested. But
if he performs it in front of a Fox camera, his act is beamed via the
public airwaves into every home in the nation."
He adds, "The prolonged, previously videotaped footage of a contestant dancing
nude on the ‘X Factor’ stage represents a conscious decision by the
producers – with the approval of the network’s broadcast standards
department – to intentionally air this content in front of millions of
families during hours when they knew full well that children would be
watching."
“Families were led to believe the ‘X Factor’ would be family-friendly
programming and instead were assaulted by graphic nudity."
"And while we understand the
entertainment hook that comes from the occasional train wreck, something
so inherently and patently offensive as this obscene performance is
more than a sucker punch; it is a violation of Fox station’s broadcast
licenses."
“Finally, the fact that Fox assigned a content rating of TV-PG DL for a
naked man frolicking around on a stage is not just inaccurate, it is
fraudulent. We call on the amorphous Content Ratings Review Board to
immediately investigate this incident and hold Fox accountable for
violating the spirit and the letter of the content ratings system, which
can only be described at this point as rigged and blatantly
inaccurate."
