Letters to FCC about Janet Jackson's breast

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

From the Smoking Gun Website

MARCH 1--With today marking the one-month anniversary of Janet Jackson's Super Bowl, um, appearance, TSG is presenting a sampling of letters sent to the Federal Communications Commission following the controversial halftime show. While the FCC received more than 200,000 e-mails and letters about the incident, we were only willing to fork over $249.90 for 1570 representative letters. As expected, the overwhelming majority of these missives were harshly critical of Jackson, Justin Timberlake, MTV, and CBS. Along with calls for heavy fines and license revocations, many correspondents actually suggested that the two singers be imprisoned. We were also surprised how many letter writers claimed to have been watching the game with their church group, all of whom were aghast when Jackson's right nipple made its brief, shadowy debut. But while so many complainants claimed to have been shocked at the site of Jackson's breast, not a single e-mail provided to TSG (pursuant to a Freedom of Information request) was sent the night of the game. It wasn't until the American Family Association and other conservative groups began screaming that the FCC's mailbox began to swell. Below you'll find some of our favorite letters whining about the halftime show. And we've also included some positive missives from those who did not believe Janet's nipple imperiled the Republic.

1. absolutely hilarious

I want asylum in Canada. I don't think I want to live in the same country as most of these loons! Look at letter 15 for a particularly insanely hilarious missive to Powell.

2. Republicans...hypocrisy be thy name

A strip club owner (former owner rather) is offended?! Spare me :eyes:

The one about the commercials being more offensive with a horse farting and the 4-day viagra erection were hilarious.

And the "Titty Bowl"? BWAAAHAHAHAAAAA

3. I agree, Viagra commercials are more erotic than Janet's boob

Of course, then the FCC would have to go after Dole.

Great family entertainment? Have any of them ever seen the cheerleaders for the pro teams? They are clad basically in swim suits and bump and grind their way through half time.

I'd love to be Janet's lawyer and make the FCC show me how her boob was worse than so much other stuff on TV. And let's not even talk about violence on TV. (I can't even say that without thinking of "What's wrong with violins on TV. Anyone else old enough to remember that?)
