CNN

If they can show brest on cable tv why not
I've see all the time on tv.

And for the Janet Jackson retrial, Court TV will bring it live, sponsored by the following upstanding US companies – all FCC approved:

Viagra for when you must get up for the challenge.

KY Peformance lubricant for Him and Her to really heat up that moment.

Natural Male Enhancement for the gift that keeps on giving.

The National Gay and Lesbian Alliance in favor of gay marriage.

Welcome to America. It is no wonder Europe and the rest of the world does not understand us.

I still don't understand why Janet Jackson is the only one being blamed.. Justin Timberlake is the one who RIPPED her costume off!!! Timberlake is the true culprit- I wonder why he isn't receiving much heat... maybe b/c this is America...???

It was a boob, omg, it is the end of world! what are we going to do now?!!!!???!!!

.... get over it, there are more important things in life.

Reexamine the evidence? By all means, lets have Janet whip out that 36 c againand let's all have a second look.

Has this country nothing better to do? The FCC is obvioulsy made up of a bunch of boobs.

Oh good grief. If a 'wardrobe malfunction' is such an obscenity, then what about commercials for erectile dysfunction and KY? Sorry, those are MUCH more 'obscene' than a wardrobe malfunction where nobody saw anything in the first place.

The entire furor over the malfunction was stupid, juvenile and ridiculous. Why haven't they gone after the commercials who are openly discussing ED? Do we really want our children to ask what ED is? After all, that is something very obscene to have on television... imagine - we might actually have to 'talk' to our children about sexual issues!

Come on folks, use your heads. This was a spontaneous act committed by two people live. Punishing the networks and affiliates exacts a pound of flesh from everyone except the people who actually committed the crime.

Its a waste of money honestly.. that money can be used on different stuff that are actually more important

Knee jerk reactions always rise to the level of stupidity in the end and generally speaking, the most stupid people in the world reside in the United States Congress, no matter what there party affiliation is....

If the FCC will not do anything about Hate talk shows. CBS should be off the hook.

I don't understand why this is an issue 5 years after the fact.

sexy commercials pop up while the kids are watching, or movie pre-views of a man being possessed tattooed by a demon, scary whispers in the background. Gesh.....I rather you just show them a quick accidental view of a breast.

so many law-suits (thats where the greed comes in) that lead to new laws and more laws–pretty soon you can't breath in public without being fined

no big matter on the recesssion,swine flu,warring with other countries and real criminals but god forbid a breast being exposed on t.v and offend anyone.all those old dinosaurs in congress hurry up and die already and get younger people who got more sense than waste time and money on this non issue.

Ah! The unbelievable power of the African-American breast makes Superman look helpless in comparison.

Forget "justice" and "time" and "money"

When are we Americans going to stop being so prissy? We claim that we are so accepting, so open, so laid back, etc. and yet, we spend more time worrying about stuff like this.

Ok, so some breast was shown. So what?!

Come on, Americans, let's grow up a bit and relax. It's not a big deal. Seriously. No, really, it's not.

Sheesh

Families are ruining this country.

Especially the stay-at-home house moms who support dumb crap like this.

This country was founded by the Puritans....too bad they never left.

When are we going to get over these stupid provincial 17th century thoughts and attitudes about the human body?

I never was much for the Super Bowl. I was flicking through the channels and came across it right at the beginning of the half time show. I thought to myself "these half time shows are always lame", and just kept going the the channels. Wrong choice that year.

Total waste of time..as far as "indecency"..please, give me a break..I have seen a lot worse watching Entertainment Tonight!
IE: LiL Kim weraing apstie over her breast during an awards ceremony!
Please...and folks so called "offended" by it need to grow up!

If you think this is about a woman "seeking attention" or a waste of time because $500K is "chump change," you obviously don't understand this case at all. $500K may be peanuts to a major network, but to their LOCAL AFFILIATES, being fined $500K can put a TV station out of business. It's not the affiliates' fault. They air what the network sends them over the satellite. Yet they can be held responsible for actions that they don't know are coming. That, IMO, is not fair to them.

That, on top of the fact that this whole thing is stupid. Her boob was on TV for a second. Big deal. It's a boob, people. You all have them.

You are right, Ted. Our society is screwed up. We're a nation run by old folks who are so out of touch with reality and listen to the cries of a few whiners. We tolerate violence, and lots of it, on our TV screens, but heaven forbid a boob or a butt is shown. It's okay for TV networks to show people getting shot and blown up and tell sexually suggestive jokes, but if a boob is shown lets all freak out like the Swine Flu hysteria. It's sad.

It was all Timberlakes' fault.........

Why are we so prudish in this country? Get real.

Nice to see what the real pressing issues are in the US.

I'm so sick of the faux outrage over this incident. To believe that people were so "offended" that it would require changing all sorts of indecency laws is beyond ridiculous and another example of how the Republicans chose to focus on the wrong issues over the past 8 years. No wonder the rest of the world laughs at us.

There's freedom of speach and then there's greedy. Janet Jackson should be fined, not the CBS. She knew exactly what she was doing. It was her non-wardrobe malfunction, not the TV stations.

Here a new idea, how about punishing the people who do the crime, not the innocent by-standers.

Bizarre, the US that embraces the right to bear arms, and you can see any act of violence on TV, and, I mean the NFL? Guys are being busted for drug use, beating spouses, and once in a while we can witness a player literally being crippled live on TV...and people cheering the hit, now thats obscene, not a woman's breast.

Showing a breast by accident is obscene? Get a grip. They should instead focus on all the violence that's shown on primetime tv.

This is so stupid. It's not like her outfit was covering up anything anyway. It happened, people have moved on. No one was hurt.

Oh for gods sakes, get over it. It was just a breast. Stop being such prudes.

well, we all know who owns the media, doesn't surprise anyone to learn that it would be construed as arbitrary or capricious, thus allowing the station to avoid the penalties they rightfully deserve to get..free expression comes with certain over-riding responsibilities..but the media, and their owners, always want to push the envelope, and then cry freedom of expression has been compromised, when the majority objects..

Are you telling me the government has nothing better to do with our money and their time. What in the world are the there for???!!!!!

The United States Department of Vocational Rehabilitation Services has acted Arbitrarily & Capriciously as to services not being provided which according to section 503 of the Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1973.

Don't judge unless thou art ready to be judged.

Pretty stupid. Simply an American woman seeking attention. The Supreme Court needs to waste time over this? Why not open a case on every single starved for attention, drama queen STD carrier who appears on those ‘Girls Gone Wild’ videos?

The time and money for this issue is beyond stupid. I think the whole thing is just greedy lawyers wanting to get paid. To anyone offended by this brief "indecency" stay away from me and my family. You are scary.

total miscarriage of justice. Holy Crap – a breast was exposed. We are such a screwed up society. Maybe Janet Jackson should have to wear a birka the rest of her life.

We have so many other crucial things going on and they are going to continue to go wacko over something – admittedly shouldn't have happened – that should have died.

WHAT A WASTE of time and money.......500,000 is chump change to the networks. Perhaps this lawsuit might be the best thing for Janet's career....since we have heard little from her since seeing her.....well...er...LIVE!
