Family Research Council Blasts Janet Jackson’s Boob Flash

In a letter to the Federal Communications Commission today, Family Research Council (FRC) President Tony Perkins urged the agency to hold CBS accountable for last night’s Super Bowl half-time show, in which singer Janet Jackson exposed her breast on live television. “It is a sad day when parents cannot even let their children watch the Super Bowl without having to worry about nudity and other vulgarity creeping into their living rooms,” said FRC’s Perkins. “The FCC has rules about indecency for a reason, and they must use this opportunity to make an example of CBS and MTV, which produced the half-time program. This clear breach of FCC standards must not go unpunished. The entire half-time program was tasteless and not family-friendly. CBS should know better than to turn the half-time entertainment over to MTV, which relishes its ability to shock. CBS would do well to adhere to the adage: if you sleep with dogs you’ll get fleas. I am sure there is a lot of scratching going on at CBS today.”
