Appeals Court To FCC: You Overreacted
"Nipplegate" Now Just "Nipple"
 

Four years after Janet Jackson's infamous Super Bowl "wardrobe malfunction," a federal appeals court ruled that the Federal Communications Commission "acted arbitrarily and capriciously" in issuing a $550,000 indecency fine to CBS. "Like any agency, the FCC may change its policies without judicial second-guessing," the court said. "But it cannot change a well-established course of action without supplying notice of and a reasoned explanation for its policy departure." In other words, that split-second flash of JJ's breast was not worth all of that drama. Agreed. [Breitbart]

Thanks, Khia.

Just Me,

It's not just you. I moved to revoke JT's alleged street cred after that incident. He is not down with black folks.
