As you may or may not be aware, the FCC and CBS began oral arguments today in the case stemming from the network's broadcast of Justin Timberlake's totally unauthorized, renegade revealing of duet partner Janet Jackson's sun-shaped nipple-armor during the halftime show at the 2004 Super Bowl, the landmark pop-culture event responsible for introducing the now-cringe-inducing phrase "wardrobe malfunction" into the vernacular. We thought that this would be a good time to take another look at the footage that earned CBS $550,000 in fines, a penalty that's affected the TV industry so profoundly that Standards & Practices executives become immediately incontinent each time they hear Timberlake's "Rock Your Body," the soundtrack of their waking, three-year-long nightmare.
