The purpose of the FCC is to prevent "mob rule" from perverting broadcast TV into 24/7 smut.

The court has acted irresponsibly in blocking the FCC from performing this function, especially in such an outrageous example as this.

The mere fact that a momentary flashing of a breast on television is something you consider a problem

When it was INTENTIONAL, it''s a problem. Jackson has now admitted that it was intentional.

THAT MAKES IT A PROBLEM. There was nothing "inadvertent" about it. IT WAS CAREFULLY PLANNED IN ADVANCE.

Who said it was OK? We''''''''re just addressing as many problems as we can, one at a time.

The mere fact that a momentary flashing of a breast on television is something you consider a problem worth spending one second of time worrying about, shows the person with the problem is YOU!

No, they are not. They will advertise to the billions worldwide who do watch, and disregard as irrelevant those few who don''t.

And finally a resolution to America''s most important story of the last year. The tragically offended masses can now all breath a sigh of relief. Our morality is in tact within a fraction of a second...wew!
