How's the FCC define indecency?

Long wondered whether Robot Chicken's blurring of 'naked' Barbie type dolls was actually legally required, or being done to add effect (eye's drawn to the blur whereas absent the blur it's just an undressed plastic doll toy.)

Article explains the method to their madness.
FCC Indecency Standards Remain Murky - Law360

Further questions arise about the lack of actual sex or pornography on premium subscription channels like Cinemax where they never even show a penis let alone actual pornography. Yet the same cable company has hardcore XXX content available on a PPV basis. So how's FCC regulating all this and deciding what can go on where? Can't show an unblurred platic Barbie doll, can't show a man's penis erect or not, can't show actual pornography on even subscription channels, but you can show all that on PPV?

If I didn't know better I'd think that's all by design and a conspiracy of some sort. ;)
 
How can a creation of God's, the human body, be indecent anyway? Seems as far as FCC is concerned indecency applies just to the natural human form, not the unnatural version with holes being shot into it and limbs hacked off, that's perfectly acceptable.

Something's wrong with that sensibility.
