CBS Cleared in Nipplegate


A federal appeals court threw out the $550,000 indecency fine against CBS for the brief exposure of Janet Jackson's nipple at the 2004 Super Bowl Game. The court ruled that the FCC acted "arbitrarily and capriciously" in assessing the fine. Hooray for common sense prevailing at long last!

It certainly took long enough for common sense to prevail. I wasn't offended by the nipple at all, I was offended by Kid Rock and his treatment of the flag.
