Jebus, let it go! It was only a nipple shown for a fraction of a second! I watched that abomination of a show live and didn't even notice it until everyone started talking about it online.

Depicting violent rapes and murders on shows like CSI and Law & Order is still okay during prime time though, right? I mean, that's no big deal but if my kid sees a nipple, think of the trauma.

Good God people....get over it. It was a nipple for a brief second. Were already being tortured enough by what will be a lifetime of milquetoast performers for the SuperBowl halftime shows.

What's weird is up to this point we were gradually inching towards nudity on cable... and then this stupid shiat ruined it for all time.

Nah, it was a nipple shield. large-ish jewelry affixed through a nipple piercing.

I only watch the halftime shows for the commercials - although Madonna's was pretty good. That one was painful to the ears; those two should never be allowed to sing together again. What if it had been his nipple?

If you have to step it a single frame at a time to notice the one or two frames of actual nipple-age, then drop it. It's not worth the effort and energy.

FCC- Frequent Cause of Confusion

They let "Saving Private Ryan" air but they get their knickers on a twist about this.
I usually do not watch programs that should have the tv rating of BfB (Butchered for Broadcast".

The FCC is not going to get over it just because it was 10 years ago. This is all about their power to capriciously enforce horribly defined rules. The PTC demands it!

I wonder how many MILLIONS of dollars have been wasted to "investigate" this non event.
Ken Starr flushed $60 million of our money down the toilet "investigating" Bill Clinton's blow job, and that whole thing only lasted a few months.

THIS bullshiat has been dragging on for 8 YEARS.

Any blow job that lasts a few months is worth investigating.

It's things like this that make me conservative. No not republicans, but conservative in the sense that I like the minimal application of power sufficient to accomplish a goal.

These constant fights by government agencies to not allow for one iota of their power to slip from them gets my ire up in most situations.

But it really gets my blood boiling when they spend our money fighting trivial bullshiat like this or when a agency actively fights for power to restrict freedom..

If it was an "accident", why did she bother to wear the nipple piercing jewelry? That thing looks awful sharp, like it would cut into her bra cup.

I'm not sure if disbanding them completely would be a good idea.

Removing their ability to control content on public airwaves though, yeah - let's do that.
