FCC CHAIRMAN POWELL CALLS SUPER BOWL HALFTIME SHOW A
CLASSLESS, CRASS, DEPLORABLE STUNT. OPENS INVESTIGATION
FCC Chairman Michael Powell today issued the following statement:
I am outraged at what I saw during the halftime show of the Super Bowl. Like millions of Americans, my family and I gathered around the television for a celebration. Instead, that celebration was tainted by a classless, crass and deplorable stunt. Our nations children, parents and citizens deserve better.
I have instructed the Commission to open an immediate investigation into last nights broadcast. Our investigation will be thorough and swift.
