Supreme Court to argue CBS v. FCC over 2004 Super Bowl Halftime Show fiasco. [View all]

As Lewis Black said - "If you thought you saw a boob that day - you were desperate to see one."

The Federal Communications Commission filed an appeal to the Supreme Court yesterday requesting a review of a decision to throw out the agency's $550,000 fine against CBS over Janet Jackson's infamous "wardrobe malfunction" incident **at the Super Bowl in 2004, Politico reports.

According to Multichannel News, the FCC has requested that the court hold the case until it has ruled on the commission's challenge of another indecency filing against Fox for profanity on an awards show. The Supreme Court is expected to weigh in on that case within the next few months.
