Ain't Nothing Wrong With A Little Titty

mizjackson__opt1.jpg

Yay for freedom of speech and expression!

A federal appeals court has thrown out a $550,000 fine against CBS for the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show that ended with Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction."

On Monday, a three-judge panel in Philadelphia ruled that the Federal Communications Commission "acted arbitrarily and capriciously" in issuing the fine for the fleeting image of nudity.

We think all the puritans freaked out for nothing.

Her nip was covered with a tassel!

We've seen "worse" on TV.

      Well Well Well! Four years later and those self righteous bastards at the FCC finally get put in there place at least temporarily. WTF? Why didn't this come sooner? Fucking retardos all those self righteous pricks who think they are holier than thou they are the main ones doing some bogus ass ans sick shit. We all watch to catch a predator on Dateline!

      I missed the halftime show, so I missed it live. Reshow it on national tv without the blur. While she's at it, take off her wig to reveal that she's been Michael Jackson all along.

      16

      I dunno about the tassell? Where did that come from? I saw the whole thing on live TV and it looked like a bona-fide tassel-free nip to me……..that being said, it was just a nip. Inappropriate? Yes, but this is a member of the Wackson family we're talking about, so no surprises there. Basically what I'm saying, is nobody really cares any more but at least get the story straight……

      it wasn't a tassle…. It was a piercing! A bar through her nipple that held a sun around it. The sun flames covered her areola, her exposed nipple was in the center.

      Thank GOD! The way people freaked out over that whole incident was totally ridiculous. There is so much allowable violence on TV which religious right wing conservatives never protest. The continuing war in Iraq and all of that violence and death and destruction is consistently supported by those same moralilts. But we see a supersonic flash of a part of a boob, and a big deal was made over that!? Please people, get a life.

      4 and 1/2 years to decide what to do about a micro-second flash of a partial-breast?
      Unbelievable. No wonder we are in so much trouble as a nation .. we waste time, money and effort on trivial issues.
      Shouldn't our focus be economical improvement, male/female pay equity, gun violence & continuing school shootings, our dependence on foreign oil, the war in Iraq, the scary on-going developments in Iran, etc. etc. etc.
      Instead, we focus on Janet Jackson's boob-glimpse - - over 4 years ago. God help us all!

    36. Yak says – reply to this


      36

      It's about time somebody came to their senses. Can you imagine what was going through the moron's heads at the FCC when they decided that half a million dollars was an appropriate fine for showing a partially covered breast/nipple on TV for about 1 second?
      Good god. Nobody ever died or has been psychologically damaged from seeing a naked boob.
      Those idiots at the FCC should be forced to pay all of CBS's legal costs now. That'll make them think twice before laying down their ridiculous fines in the future.
      Funny that it's all right to show people getting beaten up, shot and worse on TV but you can't see a boob for 1 second. Get your fucking priorities straight you fuck-twits.

      Sadly, the judges didn't actually side with CBS on anything important — all they said was that the FCC hadn't given enough warning on a new policy change (i.e. that a nip flash is too much). But if the FCC makes the rule and publishes it, the courts will let them censor whatever they want, especially as Our Dear Can't-Depart-Fast-Enough President keeps packing the federal courts with puritanical neo-cons who will be sitting there for years to come.

      If it had been a beautiful, natural breast like one of Halle Berry's that would have been one thing. Instead, we saw Janet Jackson's ugly, square, deformed implant. I think the fuss should be over the fact that implants like hers are ugly not that we saw a woman's breast on national television in prime time.

      Freedom of speech and expression my ass! Freedom of speech with a ten second delay and the FCC fining everyone under the sun like Howard Stern for expressing themselves.There is freedom of speech alright,until one or two people get their undies in a twist over a word or a nipple.There is more freedom in alot of other countries than in the United States.

      You re right! This nipple incident was the JOKE all about Europe back then in 2004 - we, I mean our German comedians on TV, couldn t BELIEVE that such an unimportant thing as a nipple slip could lead to a state crisis in the USA!! It was THE laugh in some of Germany's largest comedy shows! Did we have a FURTHER laugh about American bigotry! :-)
      I m however please to read that your nation now has found some sort of "closure" and your papers and press can hopefully take care of mor eSERIOUS issues! *G*

      Perezito~ I don't believe it was covered with a tassel, it was pierced, though. I don't think CBS should have been fined…Jackson and Timberlake should have been fined. Tiberlake was a little wussy panty for not owning up to his part in this stunt. I know you don't have kids, so you don't know what it's like to be watching a football game and having to explain to a bunch of kids why those people on stange can rip off their friends clothes, but it's not appropriate for regular people.

      It was just a stupid publicity stunt that backfired.Janet can't get people to care about her music anymore,so she has to resort to cheap stunts and gimmicks to get people's attention.Her career is pretty much over.Her upcoming tour isn't even selling out anywhere,and her record label aren't even wasting their time promoting her latest CD.It's time for her to show the titties again!

      @Physco Lob Janet never needed any attention in the first place she had recently won MTV first icon, as for that superbowl incident it was Justin Timberlake who tore her top off and from the shocked look on Janets face that was not meant to happen.. And how comes Justin Timberlake did not receive the same treatment as Janet. You really do scare me now You go on every Janet blog and trash her well you know, what ever you say I still see you as a physco!!!!

Madonna's shitty album is at number 95 on the charts and is still s(t)inking as we speak and now, low and behold here comes her "affair" with ARod and then this tell all book that her brother wrote(which I'm pretty sure she had a lot to do with the production). Before that, it was her adopting the baby from Africa, before that it was her changing her religion for the millionth time, before that it was her cum hunting so that she could get pregnant, and before that it was the SEX book, and so on and so on….Give me a fucking break, Dude!

      Re; nUTTY lOb
      That incident was blown way out of proportion. I,ve seen so many more worse things on TV advocating violence in music videos or even programmes for kids, people need to lighten up that incident was only for a split second and JUstin Timberfake sure aint gettint the same treatment as Janet even though it was his hand that ripped her top off I don,t believe Janet did this intentionally just look at her face afterwards that was a look of shock..

      I was going to respond some earlier posts, but had to be certain, and yet again loony Lob is on another Janet blog. You must have it real bad, go take your medication!!!! I,ve read some of the book by Madonna's brother and she does not seem like a nice person at all why don,t you just stick to going on Madonna's blogs? The superbowl isn,t worth mentioning now as it was blatantly one sided Justin Timberfake has not been repremanded once over this. Janet is moving onto bigger better things she is the Goddess of Dance something that your WACK untalented YOGA DANCE DANCE MOVES GONE WRONG Mandonna has not even accomplished

      RE: Nic/LOony Lob

      I love how people are quick to blame Janet for that infamous stint that Justin Timberfake also took part in. Any one with a brain will form there own conclusion and mine is it was two people up there on the stage and it was Justins hand that ripped Janet's top off. I do not believe Janet wanted that incident to happen in the way it did so you stick to your opinion and I shall stick to mine…
