Appeals Court Finally Tosses Fine Against CBS For Janet Jackson’s 2004 Wardrobe Malfunction

Writes the New York Times: "A federal appeals court on Wednesday again threw out a $550,000 fine against CBS by the Federal Communications Commission for Janet Jackson's famed "wardrobe malfunction" during the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show."

To think, there is an entire generation that wonders what that foppish guy from The Social Network is doing on stage with Michael Jackson's sister, and why CBS Sports wasn't instead fined for the continued employment of Shannon Sharpe.
