Dean Calls FCC Probe of Breast Incident 'Silly'
Sometimes a breast is just a breast. Howard Dean, a physician and a Democratic presidential candidate, on Monday dismissed as "silly" a government inquiry into whether indecency rules were broken during the broadcast of the Super Bowl halftime show when pop diva Janet Jackson's bodice was ripped to expose her right breast. "I find that to be a bit of a flap about nothing," the former Vermont governor said. "I'm probably affected in some ways by the fact that I'm a doctor, so it's not exactly an unusual phenomenon for me." -

Super Bowl ads strain for cheap laughs
The question is this: Did the Super Bowl achieve some new level of cheap raunch before or after one of Janet Jackson's breasts decided to get a little fresh air?

There were sporadic funny moments but nothing like in years past... -
