#1 .com should be happy the FCC does not have responsibility for internet content.

#2 Must mean that crotch grabbing and single sex open mouth lip locking 'singers' are acceptable during major media events like the Super Bowl and glamore award programs. Don't recall any fines for similar brain malfunctions.

#3 This fine is just stupid. Without a freeze-frame blowup (as Drudge did) there was very little if anything to see. If there wasn't a big media stink over it most people wouldn't have noticed.

#6  The Federal Communications Commission is set to impose a record $550,000 (310,000 pounds) indecency fine against CBS-owned stations for their broadcast of singer Janet Jackson’s breast-bearing incident during January’s Super Bowl

CBS could probably beat this on appeal, but if they don't $500,000 is chump chainge for CBS: It's Dan Rathers booze/hookers budget for the year.

#8 So how much publicity did CBS get for that stunt? About 5-6 million worth easy. Good deal for them.

#9 If Janet had flashed her whole boob,
CBS would be fined off the tube,
but CBS is okay,
as the stunt fades away,
'cause Rather's the boob on their tube.
