Lucky for Janet Jackson, a federal appeals court threw out her $550,000 indecency fine against CBS for her Super Bowl 2004 wardrobe malfunction' on Monday.
The Daily News reports that the three-judge panel of the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the Federal Communications Commission 'acted arbitrarily and capriciously' in issuing the fine for the fleeting image of nudity.
Ninety million people were watching the Super Bowl halftime show when Justin Timberlake reached for Janet's chest and her bejeweled nipple was exposed. Janet issued an apology and JT stated that Nipplegate was simply the result of a wardrobe malfunction.'
The court found that the FCC fine for the 'broadcast of a nine-sixteenths of one second glimpse of a bare female breast' deviated from its nearly 30-year practice of fining broadcast indecency only when it was extremely 'pervasive.'
$550,000 for nine-sixteenths of one second! Sienna Miller better watch out; girl is gonna be broke if she keeps parading her boobs around.
