FCC to investigate Janet Jackson's flash

[The Sushi Bandit]

(It is)"unlikely that MTV will produce another Super Bowl halftime"

The chief federal regulator of broadcasting said Monday he was outraged by the Super Bowl halftime show in which Justin Timberlake tore off part of Janet Jackson's costume, exposing her breast, and said he was ordering an immediate investigation.

1. What do you think?

:shrug: If it was an accident, why was she wearing a pastie?

2. Stupid waste of time

Her nipple is covered so it's not indecent according to their regs.

3. NOW, this is something the republicans can really get excited about

Forget about 9/11 or the pre-war intelligence, or the "outing of the CIA agent, none of that is important - but let a woman show her breast in public and all hell breaks loose. Look for the righteous hypocrites to make a mountain out of a mole hill.

5. without a doubt-intentional

Look at the series of photos on BBC. She needed to get some attention to promote her new CD. Seems Michael has been getting all the attention lately. I don't blame them for booting MTV. Lots of kids were watching.

6. Yowza!

If my breasts were built like that, I'd expose 'em too! ;-)

8. blah blah distraction blah blah

the news here is that bush found a way to capitalize on the event by claiming to be asleep during halftime. but doesn't that make him unpatriotic, to miss the last half of the superbowl? 8^) and since when does one "prepare for the day" by falling asleep? wouldn't it be customary to "prepare for bed?" and just what kind of crack was that, "you can tell me all about it?" would laura approve of that comment? heard by their daughters?

--------
Q What part of the Super Bowl did you like the best? The half time or the ending? (Laughter.)

THE PRESIDENT: I don't want to admit it, but because this White House starts early, I missed it -- again. Saw the first half, did not see the half time -- I was preparing for the day and fell asleep. But you all can tell me about it. (Laughter.)

END 10:00 A.M. EST

11. Nice to know Imperial Duke Powell is concentrating on important matters

12. I think what they did was rather tacky, but I can sure think of a lot more

important things to investigate. And what the hell are they going to do about it anyway? Put 'em in jail? Draft 'em? Tell MTV that they're vulgar and crude? Like that isn't a given already. Spend my tax money on something that matters you damn idiots.
