Every boys dream Super Bowl halftime show. What could possibly go wrong. Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake created major controversy and headlines in 2004. The “accident” generated over a half million complaints to the FCC in the USA and caused the FCC to change their maximum fine from $27,500 to $325,000 per incident. this resulted in a $550,000 fine to CBS.
In Canada less than 50 complaints were filed. Take comfort in the fact we have a better sense of humour, or be afraid that we are more perverse than our American friends. Of course, the best part was the pundits coming up with not just one great name, Nipplegate, but also Boobgate. Good job Punditry.
