"Janet Jackson Wardrobe Malfunction Ruling Thrown Out" Isn't that GREAT NEWS????

Posted By: Dee Gray on May 08, 2009 From: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/05/04/s... "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. In a statement, CBS said the Supreme Court's decision was not a surprise given last week's ruling and expressed confidence the court will again find the incident was not and could not have been anticipated by the network. 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. The appellate court said the incident lasted nine-sixteenths of one second and should have been regarded as "fleeting." The FCC previously deviated from its nearly 30-year practice of fining indecent broadcast programming only when it was so "pervasive as to amount to 'shock treatment' for the audience," the court said. The FCC appealed to the Supreme Court. The case had been put off while the justices dealt with a challenge led by Fox Television against the FCC's policy on fleeting expletives. The case is FCC v. CBS Corp., 08-653." $550,000??????????????????? Wow. That's just incredible. Share your thoughts. Do you think the initial happening was thrown completely out of proportion anyway? Do you believe all the blame was placed on Jackson? Sound off. Blessings... If you enjoyed this article, Join HBCU CONNECT today for similar content and opportunities via email! |

The appeal of America is responsibility, and regulation for fairness. For $550,000.00; Janet could get a better style, face, nose, ears, hair, abdomen, arms, breasts, booty, legs and me to tell her that she is and has been NASTY since, the mega ghetto TV hit "Good Times". She has made so much from exploiting s*xuality and causing confusion in American Youth and "Good Times", culture that she and Justin and all like them should be taxed more to pay for the abortion, aids, welfare and jails she and her kind have helped to fill.

Dee, my comment was based on the start janet got with esther rolle and john amos,(good times) as a poor child with aspirations of education, culture, innocence and decency. And I just commented that she has given us since; nasty lyrics, nasty dancing and old made up breast showing to Millions on tv.
