Superbowl 2004!

Actually, frontal nudity has happened more often. This was only the second Superbowl win for the Pats, but the broadcast of "Shindlers List" included frontal nudity, as did the miniseries "Holocast", as did the miniseries "Roots". Heck, there was even a "live" Milton Bearle show back in the 1950's where an actress was pushed out onto the stage from behind the curtain while she was still getting dressed and a boob was still hanging out.

At least when they broadcasted Schindler's List, the main network know well beforehand to air parental advisory warnings.

CBS however did not know this was going to happen, and several sources have said that Janet and Justin planned that incident at the very last minute (so they didn't consult with their lawyers if they're going to violate any FCC regulations). Of course, it is a given, if you're an over-the-air broadcast network (as opposed to a cable network, IMHO a unfair double standard), you don't air anything nude without advisory warning.

Anyhoo, this does not bode well for Janet and Justin. CBS is now attempting to remove them from the TV presentation of the Grammy Awards, which falls on February Sweep month. Despite the incident, I hope that organizer of the Grammy Award do not cave in on CBS demand, otherwise they should immediately look if other network would be happy to have them during the Sweep.

As for the Super Bowl itself, congrats to the Pats, even though I rooted for the Panthers.
