Super Bowl XXXVIII, which was broadcast
live on February 1, 2004 from
Houston, Texas on the
CBS television network in the United States, was noted for a controversial
halftime show in which
Janet Jackson's
breast, adorned with a
nipple shield, was exposed by
Justin Timberlake for about half a second, in what was later referred to as a "
wardrobe malfunction".
The incident, sometimes referred to as
Nipplegate,
was widely discussed. Along with the rest of the halftime show, it led to an immediate crackdown and widespread debate on perceived indecency in broadcasting.
The
Federal Communications Commission fined a record $550,000 against CBS,
but the case was brought to court and the fine definitely voided by the 2011 ruling.
