What bothers me is the trash. I think it forcibly manipulates our media and cheapens our society when artless scandal is perpetrated for sensationalism.

I myself wouldnt particularly care if both Timblerlake and Jackerson were topless instead of just artless but I think they put their own fame before the image of the game and their audience CBS either allowed them or aided them. CBS gave them their chance.

I think the theme of nasty sex as entertainment is not appropriate for the venue and it is reprehensible that they could enact this rape then call it a malfunction. Jackson should have been open from the beginning that this was her wish (She now appears to be saying it was part of the act).

Personally I think the government should not try to delineate all the problems with the half time show, of which the Jackson's breast was just one -- they should fine CBS.

According to one web site the FCC has the power to fine up to $27,500 per incident per station. Without splitting hairs I think this should be done and the money given to breast cancer research.

They should kick this into the point where they talk about the money they lost not the flesh they revealed. Make it seem unprofitable to produce such bad TV. Only in the law suites to reclaim some of this money will we ever hear about the real decision for this trash.

I also think it deplorable that the CBS can use its size to scare the FCC. I dont care that 27,500 times the number of their stations might be a big fine. They're big and irresponsible, suck it up.


Breast cancer, women's shelters or some thing that recognises the issue here. Not as a write off, a fine. If CBS complains, open the case and increase the fine.
