The second that the fingers started pointing and the moral started preaching after Janet's boob meat got splashed on television, the FCC had a responsibility to take some sort of action. It's what they're THERE for. To protect America when she gets her feelings hurt.
What I don't get is why ANYONE was upset by the breast. Get upset about the dry humping, the boob jobs, the Atkins diet, the idolatry of movie stars, the violence on COPS, Dennis Franz's ass on NYPD Blue, high interest credit to low income families, etc. But a boob? The hypocrisy KILLS me that we are ready to hand over our civil liberties over a small issue in a cesspool of 'indecent' behavior (as defined by my ultra-conservative mother, not by me).
And now we're paying a portion of the price; hardly what the end cost will undoubtedly be.
