In this case, if Ashlee Simpson had flashed a breast, the FCC probably would have let it go.
After all, agencies of the federal government are there to protect the citizenry from any sort of injury or harm. Ashlee’s performance at halftime of Tuesday night’s Orange Bowl in Miami was about as close as a singer gets to committing aggravated assault. If she had only taken a lesson from Janet Jackson, the world would be talking today about the exposure of a boob rather than a fraud.

I happened to look out the window and noticed that some of my neighbors were running down the street, their hands over their ears, screaming for help. I wanted to help them, I really did. Yet I was gripped by horror and disbelief. I was practically catatonic. For their sake — and for mine — all I could hope for was a swift end to the halftime show.
--SNIP--
What I hope and pray for now is that Ashlee will go away and leave the public alone. On behalf of the world community, I implore her to pursue another career. There are many avenues for a young woman of her abilities. Pig farmers need wranglers. The U.S. Forest Service has many outposts in remote areas of our nation’s parks, where one can make all the noise one wants and not be heard by another soul for miles.
--SNIP--
But Ashlee must cease and desist her professional singing career immediately. The lip-synching angered many. The Orange Bowl debacle undoubtedly caused thousands to seek counseling. What does she want next? Is she setting up some sort of blackmail scheme: “Give me $10 million or I’ll keep singing”?

It was horrible and Ashlee is as tone deaf as Keely Osborne.
That is too funny. She should stick to acting, which she did on "7th Heaven". Heck, Madonna can sing and dance, but could not act her way out of a paper bag.
I had a phone call come in and missed that part of the show. Thanks brother for the call.
Oh my God. That is sooo funny!!
What happened during the halftime show?
Ashlee Simpson happened.
She got booed and heckled.
I sing better in the shower than Simpson does. And she's not even the good looking one. And let's not give kelly clarkson a pass either. She was equally as talented. I'd liked Adkins but bring on the marching bands next time.
This is what happens when parents aren't honest with their children and implant a fantasy in their heads about how talented they are. She is a decent actress, but singer, no way!
Didn't the FCC sentance her to appear on "Dick Clarke Rockin Eve" ?
You left off the punchline. The ad at the bottom of the page?

I didn't know that Bart's sister could sing..Give her a break, she is a cartoon after all.
They should put her in a raft on the Indian Ocean. She could be the Tsunami Warning System.
Someone sure is trying to push this Ashley Simpson on an unwilling public. Stop the madness already.
Or Ashlee's lip-synching past.
She's the saddest kid in Grade Number Two, remember?
You idiot! She isn't Bart's sister; she's OJ's daughter!
Madonna can sing?
I suspect she has few fans over the age of 12.
