[UPDATE]
Parks and Recreation, Season 2 ep. 11, which aired on the third of December and was rated TV-PG, contained a scene that I thought was completely inappropriate for the standards of Tulsa Oklahoma, especially with the rating of TV-PG and at 7:30 pm.
There was a scene where the characters were in a strip club, there were actual topless women in the background whose breasts were blurred out. My kids were not yet in bed and the parental control, which I do have setup, would not have blocked this show. I’m deeply offended and very upset. I have filed a complaint with the FCC.

Mr. Vrabac's response.
My response to Mr. Vrabac.Mr. Roemerman, appreciate your response. I will pass it along to NBC affiliate relations.

Mr Vrabac,
With respect, in exchange for obtaining a valuable license to operate a broadcast station using the public airwaves, KJRH is required by law to operate in the “public interest, convenience and necessity.” This means that KJRH, not NBC, must air programming that is responsive to the needs and problems of its local community of license.
I expect that NBC will, more often than not, violate the contemporary community standards of Tulsa Oklahoma. I look to you to ensure that those standards are not violated.
While I certainly appreciate your forwarding this matter onto NBC, I expect more from KJRH. I expect the slogan "Channel 2 works for you" to mean more than hard hitting local journalism. I expect that it also means that Channel 2 will strive to meet its responsibility to the community by protecting the standards that make Tulsa such a great place to raise a family.
Regards,
Steven H Roemerman Sr.

CBS does it every week on Survivor. They even have blurred butt cracks and this is at 7pm. Then again I saw a bare butt during a football game last week when the receivers pants got pulled down.That on really needed a big blur.
Context. There is nothing overtly sexual about Survivor. This is was a scene with very adult dialog, and naked women dancing around.
This is complaint will be in vain because the naughty bits, by your own admission, were blurred out. Therefore, no nudity. There's virtually no difference from that and someone wearing a skimpy swim suit.
Why were you watching that show anyway. Its a unfunny The Office knock off.
