A Little Titty Is OK
JUDGE THROWS OUT FINE FOR JACKSON’S “NIPPLE-GATE”
FITSNews - July 22, 2008 - Apparently there’s nothing wrong with showing a little titty in front of ninety million viewers during the Super Bowl halftime show. Don’t believe us? Just ask the U.S. appeals court which yesterday threw out the $550,000 fine that the Federal Communications Commission levied against CBS for 2004’s infamous “Nipple-gate” featuring Justin Timberlake and Janet (editor’s note: Miss Jackson, if you’re nasty ).
From the NY Daily News:
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.
Ninety million people were watching the Super Bowl when singer Justin Timberlake reached for Jackson’s chest.
The court found that the FCC fine for the “broadcast of a nine-sixteenths of one second glimpse of a bare female breast” deviated from its nearly 30-year practice of fining broadcast indecency only when it was extremely “pervasive.”
Wait, this wasn’t pervasive? Do they mean like oxygen isn’t pervasive? Seriously, people, Janet Jackson’s right nipple is more famous than Janet Jackson ever was or will be, which is sad because it’s honestly one of the ugliest nipples we’ve ever seen before in our lives. The fact that ninety million people saw it is one thing - but the fact that eleventy kabillion people have since downloaded it eleventy kabillion times on the Internet is a testament not only to its pervasiveness, but to how desperately a whole lot of people in this country need to get laid.
Anyway, operating on the assumption that a little titty is OK every once in awhile, we’re gonna have to side with the court on this one. That’ll no doubt piss Gresham Barrett and Henry McMaster off, maybe even Mark Sanford, too, but we gotta call ‘em like we see ‘em.

This was sooo disappointing. After all the hype I expected some luscious milk chocolate goodness but when I watched it on my beige (putty colored ) whore, the computer, Janet Jax’s Ta Ta was grey…Gray…and misshapen… yeech I had to look at 100 Dita Von Teese pictures to recover from that Jackson nightmare

No wonder schools block student access to your pathetic little blog.
