Janet Jackson "Wardrobe Malfunction" Case Will Turn Heads . . . Again

On Tuesday, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will review the incident regarding Janet Jackson's 2004 Super Bowl performance with Justin Timberlake. The half-time show caused the regulators and lawmakers to become angry and to crackdown on the indecency in broadcast.

During the live performance, Jackson's right breast was exposed for almost a fraction of a second to over 90 million viewers. Timberlake, who was onstage also, called the incident a "wardrobe malfunction." Under the Bush administration, CBS Corp.'s (CBS) CBS Television was fined $550,000 by the FCC.

In May, the U.S. Supreme Court ordered a court to reconsider the ruling against CBS Corp Television. This order had the case sent back to a federal appeals court in Philadelphia for further review. The appeals court stated that the FCC acted "arbitrarily and capriciously" for issuing the fine for a passing image of nudity, and ruled in favor of CBS Corp Television.
