Jim Spagg (born James Spaggnola, July 29, 1939 – May 8, 2004) was a U.S. artist and host of a controversial Public-access television cable TV program in Portland, Oregon, United States from 1991 to 2003. Spagg was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio and attended Catholic school. == Public-access television program == In the early 1990s, Spagg attracted local and national media attention with ''Jim Spagg's Sex Show'', a call-in cable TV program that contained uncensored nudity. Spagg, a nudist, produced and directed the program and frequently appeared without clothing. The show was mostly improvised, and often consisted of little more than Spagg dancing nude while playing a guitar and singing. The show sometimes included nude guests, and often contained footage filmed at Rooster Rock State Park, a clothing-optional public beach near Portland. Several episodes focused on Spagg's petty feuds with his neighbor Ed DeKota. Spagg's premises were〔 # Nudity is not dirty; and # People are too busy and too serious. Spagg denied that his program was lewd, claiming that "I am an artist and I'm expressing myself through video." Spagg also swore throughout and showed himself defecating. In May 2003, after nearly 11 years on the air, Jim Spagg's Sex Show was removed by Portland Cable Access after Spagg defecated live on the show. He was suspended for a year, the official reason given was broadcasting copyrighted material, violating the Public-access channel's broadcast standards. The copyrighted material in question was a series of clips filmed by PCA itself with on the street testimony about PCA. "He simply took property and used it as his own, against our rules and federal law," says Carl Kucharski, PCA's executive director. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jim Spagg」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
