They are words that will live in infamy: “wardrobe malfunction.” And just when you thought the fervor over Janet Jackson’s boob was over, a federal appeals court will re-examine the FCC fine it threw out against CBS over Janet Jackson’s breast-exposing performance with Justin Timberlake during the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show six years ago.
The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia will consider whether the FCC’s fine for the broadcaster over the breast-baring performance is permissible. The FCC had fined 20 CBS stations a total of $550,000 because of the Super Bowl halftime show, claiming that the airing of a glimpse of Jackson’s breast in the highest-rated TV show of the year amounted to indecency.
