SORRY: How TSG cost 60 Minutes a Jacko exclusive

FEBRUARY 5--It took almost three days, but the first lawsuit has been filed in connection with Janet Jackson's breast. A Tennessee woman yesterday filed a proposed class action lawsuit "on behalf of all Americans" who watched the Super Bowl halftime show and were somehow injured by Miss Jackson's adorned nipple. In the below federal complaint, Terri Carlin, a 47-year-old Knoxville bank employee, contends that Jackson's exposure and other "sexually explicit conduct" during halftime festivities caused viewers to "suffer outrage, anger, embarrassment and serious injury." Details of those supposed injuries were not further described in the complaint filed by attorney Wayne A. Ritchie II. Along with Jackson, Carlin has named as defendants Justin Timberlake, CBS, MTV, and Viacom. Carlin's complaint seeks compensatory and punitive damages, though an exact dollar figure is not specified. But it seems billions would be in order since Carlin notes that punitive damages should not exceed the gross revenues of all defendants for the past three years. (8 pages)

"suffer outrage, anger, embarrassment and serious injury."

I did. The awful music, Janet and Justin did it to me without even having to see Janet's breast. :) Or rather it would have if I hadn't had the sense not to watch it in the first place.

"Oh my god, a titty. The world is going to come crashing down now! Children are going to be damaged for life and adults will need counseling!"

Just fine them for doing something they knew was not allowed under FCC rules for public broadcast.

I didn't know a woman's breast was such an offense. It's as if some of these people never seen a breast. At least Justin Timberlake is included because he sure is stepping and dogging the rest of public outrage.
