Jackson’s wardrobe malfunction saga ends

Federal officials have dismissed an indecency fine on TV bosses at a channel who were fined after they aired a clipping of Janet Jackson’s peek-a-boo act during the 2004 SuperBowl half-time show. This has come just days after Jackson’s fellow SuperBowl performer Justin Timberlake poked fun at the ‘wardrobe malfunction’ controversy while hosting an award show in Los Angeles. A three-judge panel has thrown out a $ 550,000 fine over the broadcast. The judges have ruled that the Federal Communications Commission “acted arbitrarily and capriciously” in issuing the fine for the split-second image of nudity. More than 90 million people saw the live broadcast.
