Remember all the hub bub about how Janet Jackson’s nipple ruined the Super Bowl and all the world’s children were forever corrupted and the innocence of man was soiled and we were all going to go to hell? Well, nevermind. According to USA Today:
In a decision that perhaps will inspire more performers to test the limits of what is and isn’t permissible in the Super Bowl halftime show, a court has overturned the mega-fine CBS incurred after Janet Jackson bared a breast at the 2004 game.
A three-judge federal appeals court panel tossed out the $550,000 indecency fine against the network, ruling that the Federal Communications Commission “acted arbitrarily and capriciously” with its punishment for the brief nudity at halftime, the AP reports this morning.
So you know what this means, TVs going to be nothing but TITTIES! TITTIES! TITTIES! from now on. Finally, the courts decided to stop awarding little old ladies millions of dollars for burning their crotches with coffee, and start awarding America the boobs we’ve deserved for so, so long.
