Six months after Janet Jackson bared her breast for 1.7 seconds on
live TV, draconian censorship and huge fines have changed the face of
American broadcasting - and polarised the country. But the
entertainment industry is fighting back

As obscenity goes, a flash of female breast is hardly worth bothering
with. Magazines from Vogue to Heat show them all the time. Barely
veiled bosoms are on view on young women in cities the world over.
But this is the story of one exposed nipple that shook the world. It
has been impossible to ponder the issue of public morality in America
these past few months without wondering whether we aren't living in
weird parallel universes. In the first, 2004 has been the year in
which the United States was caught torturing prisoners in Iraq, was
accused of lying about weapons of mass destruction, and was deemed to
be violating the US constitution and international law by holding
so-called "enemy combatants" indefinitely without trial.
