Janet Jackson Nipplegate Resolved!
Dear FCC, Please don't appeal this ruling, get on with your life
 

Seven hundred years later, the matter of Janet Jackson's Super Bowl nipple may finally be put to rest. And CBS won't be paying for it. A federal appeals court has shot down the FCC's $550,000 fine against the network for its part in Nipplegate, when, during the 2004 football halftime show, Justin Timberlake revealed to 90 million people that Jackson has at least one of something that everybody has two of. The three-judge panel declared the FCC "deviated from its nearly 30-year practice of fining indecent broadcast programming only when it was so 'pervasive as to amount to "shock treatment" for the audience.'" Also: That nine-sixteenths of one second of bare breast, despite being TiVo-able and replayed endlessly by horny 13-year-olds, wasn't such a big deal.

what a waste of time, money and attention, Americans suck, they are soooooo stuffed up the behind, big frickin deal! The real sad part is the backlash and horrible treatment Janet has received from all this stupid nonsense.
