The aftershocks from the Janet Jackson-Justin Timberlake "wardrobe malfunction" this weekend continue. As the FCC investigates, numerous NBC affiliates are threatening to not show Thursday's episode of ER. Apparently there is one scene that involves an elderly woman's breast. Affiliates are uneasy, what with the FCC's heightened state of alert for all things mammary. Given that the show is a medical drama, one would think that ER's flash of boob will not be as jaw droppingly salacious as what went on this weekend. But that probably doesn't make a difference to the risk adverse at the local NBC affiliates.
For a discussion of the legal terrain of the FCC and television standards, read this column by Michael Dorf, from Findlaw.
