CBS FINED FOR BOOB
America's media watchdog has fined CBS television more than L300,000
for broadcasting Janet Jackson's breast-baring incident to millions
of people.
The Federal Communications Commission received over half a million
complaints after Justin Timberlake pulled off a piece of her bodice
during the Super Bowl American football championship in February.
The revealing of Jackson's breast, dubbed "nipplegate," for a few
seconds at an event watched by some 90 million viewers sparked
uproar.
"Countless families gathered around the television to watch one of
our nation's most celebrated events," said FCC Chairman Michael
Powell in a statement.
"Nudity, while not necessarily indecent itself, certainly should
raise a red flag for a broadcaster contemplating its airing during
the hours in which the law restricts indecency because children are
likely in the audience."
CBS said in a statement that it was "extremely disappointed" in the
ruling.
"While we regret that the incident occurred and have apologised to
our viewers, we continue to believe that nothing in the broadcast
violated indecency laws."
