FCC Wants US Supreme Court to Look at Janet Jackson's Nipple Again

I don't doubt Justices Scalia and Thomas will recuse themselves to chambers to examine Janet Jackson's exposed breast for hours before rendering a verdict. Just don't drink a can of Coke from their largess following the verdict.

Give it up! So many things are more objectionable on TV than Janet Jackson's perky right nipple that they should be embarrassed for pursuing the case, applying retroactive rules and suggesting reckless negligence on the network's part.

“Of the ‘over 542,000 complaints concerning the broadcast’ the FCC claims to have received, over 85 percent are form complaints generated by single-interest groups. Approximately twenty percent of the complaints are duplicates, with some individual complaints appearing in the record up to 37 times."
