Remember the 2004 Superbowl incident with singer Janet Jackson?
PHILADELPHIA - A federal appeals court on Monday threw out a $550,000 indecency fine against CBS Corp. for the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show that ended with Janet Jackson's breast-baring "wardrobe malfunction."
The three-judge panel of the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the Federal Communications Commission "acted arbitrarily and capriciously" in issuing the fine for the fleeting image of nudity.
The 90 million people watching the Super Bowl, many of them children, heard Justin Timberlake sing, "Gonna have you naked by the end of this song," as he reached for Jackson's bustier.

The charge was filed to end Janet's career, nothing else. We're seen worse on TV with nothing done. This is how the new Bush Policies work for those they want to destroy. Now if Janet had even thousands of dollars to the Republican Party this would never have happen.
The charge wasn't to end Janet's career but to destroy her brother Michael's career. Remember the Michael Jackson trial of child molestation? Ms. Jackson was only used to bring down her brother. Ms. Jackson will bounce back just like her brother. But, the FCC look like village idiots to fine her for wardrobe malfunction. There were so many wardrobe malfunctions before Janet's incident and afterwards. FCC will go down as an embarrassment. So, of the obscenities on TV are allowed and FCC is silenced on that.
