Thank God! The FCC is Invesgitating Superbowl Show - whew! One thing we cannot have is washed up pop stars flashing their tits on television, nosirree, that will damage the innocent minds of children everywhere! They should just get rid of those half time shows anyway, air an hour of beer commercials, and maybe an anti-pot ad or 2. Right... You have to ask - how can 2 seconds of nipple do more harm to the country than 9 Budweiser ads (that's what's listed on the ifilm site)? How many people are hurt and dead from seeing Janet's tit? how much stuff is broken because she and Justin Timberlake and Kid Rock, and whoever the hell was involved, "really crossed a heinous line" with their "onstage copulation" (as Michael Powell put it)?

Collective stupidity. We beg people to drink all fucking day (what else do you call beer ads?), reap the inevitable consequences, and then act like the apocalypse is at hand over a couple seconds of near nudity. Perspective is wanted.
