FCC To Look At Nipplegate Again

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (also knowns as the FCC) have said they are going to take another look at the Super Bowl incident when Janet Jacksons‘s nipple got exposed (aka nipplegate).

If you forget .. during what would possible become the biggest wardrobe malfunction of all time, Justin Timberlake accidentally exposed Janet’s boob to 90 million viewers at the 2004 Super Bowl.

Well people all over the world, when I say people I mean prudish people, went crazy over this just as much as the FCC did when they tried to sue CBS.

In May, the U.S. Supreme Court ordered a lower court to reconsider a ruling that struck down a $550,000 fine against CBS Corp television stations for airing the incident. The case was also sent back for review which resulted in the courts saying that the FCC acted “arbitrarily and capriciously”.

In a filing on Tuesday with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, the FCC asked the court to allow the agency to review whether CBS was reckless by failing to use a video delay technology, reasserting that CBS used a video delay for the 2004 Grammy Awards only seven days after the Super Bowl.

“The evidence in this case strongly suggests that CBS had access to video delay technology at the time of the 2004 Super Bowl,” the FCC said in the court document.

All of this drives me insane, I hate when people go apeshit over a bit of nudity on TV. I would hate to hear what the FCC would say if they seen how much nudity is online.
