Sure, the picture is a bit snowy and the feeds come at irregular intervals and then fade out again, but the content is unmistakable: 10-20 minute bursts of naked guys doing things Cureses has never seen guys do to each other before.
“The first time I turned it on, I thought I was watching [a special],” he said. “I said, ‘What kind of special is this?’
“This is distracting!” he added.
Looking for an answer, Cureses, with the help of a reporter from the local newspaper, turned first to City Manager Joseph Gallegos.
“Somebody would have to have some kind of antenna and generating instrument somewhere,” Gallegos offered. “I’m not sure how they could do something like that inside a home.”
Not satisfied with that explanation, Cureses took his question to the Federal Communications Commission, and filed a complaint while he was at it.
FCC Spokesperson Rebecca Fisher told him, “It sounds like it may be something to do with the signal bleed, possibly for a local cable operator.”
Cureses wasn’t buying that, either. He thinks something more sinister is afoot, perhaps a conspiracy to discredit the gay community.
“When some little old lady or some kid somewhere in a poor neighborhood who doesn't have cable tunes in, it's going to hit the wall," Cureses said. "I want to stop it before that happens."
So, hoping to prevent “it” from hitting the wall, Cureses filed a complaint with the FCC, which is currently investigating the uncensored transmissions.
