Supreme Court Throws Out Ruling on Janet Jackson Wardrobe Malfunction
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Monday ordered a federal appeals court to re-examine its ruling in favor of CBS Corp. in a legal fight over entertainer Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction.
The high court on Monday directed the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia to consider reinstating the $550,000 fine that the Federal Communications Commission imposed on CBS over Jackson's breast-baring performance at the 2004 Super Bowl.
The order follows the high court ruling last week that narrowly upheld the FCC's policy threatening fines against even one-time uses of curse words on live television.
Last year, the appeals court threw out the fine against CBS, saying the FCC strayed from its long-held approach of applying identical standards to words and images when reviewing complaints of indecency.

:whatever:

The should be fined simply for traumatizing people with such an ugly breast.

This too pleases me. I would not be in favor of any fine if the network had been honest about the performance in the first place. It wasn't a "wardrobe malfunction". The wardrobe functioned exactly as designed.

Kind of like the "impromptu" swearing at the Billboard Awards a while back. Totally scripted.
