Janet Jackson and the FCC
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 (all redactions were done by
the FCC). We've also included some positive missives from those who
did not believe Janet's nipple imperiled the Republic. (23
