This morning a federal appeals court threw out the $550,000 indecency fine levied by the Federal Communications Commission against CBS for Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake’s 2004 Super Bowl incident in Houston, also known as Nipplegate.

As a service to you, dear reader, we just spent the last hour trolling the Internet for parody images of the incident, and we now proudly present some of our favorites. – Keith Plocek
