We can finally put one issue behind
us. The Super Bowl
nipple-gate has finally reached some closure, and not a moment too soon.
Federal regulators today fined CBS a record $550,000 for Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction," which exposed the singer's breast during this year's Super Bowl halftime show in Houston.
The Federal Communications Commission voted unanimously to slap each of the 20 CBS-owned television stations with the maximum indecency penalty of $27,500. The total penalty of $550,000 is the largest fine levied against a television broadcaster. Most of the FCC's bigger fines have been against radio stations.
$550,000 for
one partially exposed boobie in Houston??? Not since J. Howard Marshall hooked up with Anna Nicole has
anyone paid so much to see a semi-nude hooter in the city limits of Houston.
If this keeps up, Houston titty bars are going to get a bad name. . .
