FX is in a sort of second tier of non-pay cable (like AMC) where they can and do get away with pretty much everything short of the word fuck and lady nipples and/or penis. Sons of Anarchy is definitely on my 'one of these days' list (I enjoyed the pilot and first few eps but got distracted). Technically, with an MA rating, you can get away with all that on your broadcast as well, but FX has become known for super gritty, just short of HBO in terms of explicit stuff of serious quality (and AMC has lately shown itself willing to do shit on Walking Dead, for example, that would easily be an R in theaters, IMHO).
