 DISSENTING  STATEMENT  OF  COMMISSIONER  KEVIN  J.  MARTIN 
 Re:  Complaints  against  Fox  Television  Stations,  Inc.  Regarding  Its  Broadcast  of  the  “Keen  Eddie”  Program  on  June  10,  2003,  Memorandum  Opinion  and  Order 
 This  Order  involves  a  television  program  that  the  majority  admits  “contains  references  of  a  sexual  nature  that  were  broadcast  at  a  time  of  day  when  children  were  likely  to  be  in  the  audience.”  Yet, 
 the  majority  concludes  that  the  program,  in  which  a  prostitute  is  hired  to  sexually  arouse  a  horse  by  removing  her  blouse  and  to  “extract”  semen  from  the  horse,  is  not  indecent  because  the 
 prostitute  is  “never  seen  actually  touching”  the  horse.  Despite  my  colleagues’  assurance  that  there  appeared  to  be  a  safe  distance  between  the  prostitute  and  the  horse,  I  remain  uncomfortable. 
 I  respectfully  dissent.
