We are STILL talking about this?


Leave Janet alone! And let this foolishness die!

The Janet Jackson breast flash incident will not die!

The 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia had thrown out the FCC's $550,000 fine against CBS as arbitrary, only to have the U.S. Supreme Court kick it back down for review. The Supreme Court pointed to its ruling in a Fox Television-led challenge, when it said the FCC could threaten fines over the use of a single curse word on live TV.

The FCC argued Tuesday that CBS was duly warned that its 2004 halftime performers might add some shock value to the act. Jackson's choreographer had promised as much, FCC lawyer Jacob Lewis said. During the act, singer Justin Timberlake ripped off Jackson's bustier, exposing her breast for nine-sixteenths of a second.

"There were considerable alarm bells about deviating from the script," Lewis told the 3rd Circuit panel. "CBS had a duty to investigate."

Is it that serious Supreme Court? Really?

Justine Timberfake and Janet debacle. Why o' why are they still worried about this mess? Some people worry more about a tittie than gore and gratuitous violence...

I wish the neo-cons and losers with small minds will get a clue and get over it!
