Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show controversy - China Wafer Type Butterfly Valve - Pvc Butterfly Valv - Business

The incident Among several other acts Jackson and Timberlake performed a medley of Jackson s songs All for You and Rhythm Nation and Timberlake s song Rock Your Body during the halftime show The performance featured many suggestive dance moves by both singers and as Timberlake reached his final line of Rock Your Body I m gonna have you naked by the end of this song Timberlake pulled off a part of Jackson s costume revealing her right breast partially covered by a nipple shield for nine sixteenths of a second In the immediate aftermath of the incident the CBS broadcast cut to an aerial view of Reliant Stadium but was unable to do so before the picture was sent to millions of viewers televisions Besides Jackson s exposure the show s other performances included gestures by the rapper Nelly toward his crotch and the musician Kid Rock appearing in a poncho made from a slitted American flag which he later tossed into the crowd Public reaction United States In the United States t he exposure of Jackson s nipple shield led to much media controversy and headlines The media watchdog group Parents Television Council PTC issued a statement that same day condemning the halftime show announcing that their members would file indecency complaints with the FCC and the council supported the FCC s decision to investigate the halftime show immediately In addition the FCC received nearly 540 000 complaints from Americans with the PTC claiming responsibility for around 65 000 of them In its appeal to the Third Circuit Court CBS disputed how many of the complaints were filed by individual non organized viewers Columnists L Brent Bozell III and Phyllis Schlafly also expressed criticism of the halftime show in their respective weekly columns Democratic senator Zell Miller of Georgia both on the floor of the United States Senate and in an editorial on Salon com denounced the halftime show as what he perceived as declining morality in America On the day immediately foll owing the Super Bowl then FCC chairman Michael Powell ordered an investigation into the halftime show Timberlake told KCBS TV a few days following the Super Bowl that even his own family was offended by the Super Bowl mishap However an Associated Press poll taken nearly three weeks after the Super Bowl found that although 54 of American adults considered the exposure distasteful only 18 supported the FCC s investigation Michael Powell then chairman of the FCC was quick to order an investigation into the halftime show The Super Bowl controversy was also a subject of comedy all across the late night television shows For example CBS s own Late Show with David Letterman mocked the incident all week following the Super Bowl Host David Letterman jokingly commentated on the controversy the day after the Super Bowl that he was happy to see this thing happen because that meant for one night I wasn t the biggest boob on CBS The next day he also joked that President George W Bush forme d a Department of Wardrobe Security to prevent further wardrobe malfunctions like this On February 4 Letterman opened his monologue by joking about having a wardrobe malfunction Additionally the Top Ten Lists featured on the program on that same night and two nights later briefly referenced the incident South Park took aim at the hysteria in its eighth season premiere Good Times With Weapons on March 17 of that year when Eric Cartman sneaks across a stage in the nude and later blames the incident on a wardrobe malfunction The townspeople are angered by Cartman s display rather than feeling concern for a horribly mutilated and disoriented character Butters who is also present on stage referring to the acceptance of violence and the taboo against nudity In the 2004 MTV Video Music Awards comedian Dave Chappelle jokingly told MTV that his appearance in the VMA was the biggest mistake since you put Janet Jackson on the Super Bowl Family Guy also did an episode based around this wardrobe malfunction The episode PTV involved actor David Hyde Pierce having a trouser malfunction at the Emmys The halftime show continued to be a subject of discussion in 2005 At the beginning of 2005 the parody newspaper The Onion ran as its headline article for January 26 2005 U S Children Still Traumatized One Year After Seeing Partially Exposed Breast On TV The article s satirical target was the nation s reaction to the incident rather than the incident itself On February 1 2005 exactly one year after the halftime show the PTC released a report titled MTV Smut Peddlers Targeting Kids with Sex Drugs and Alcohol covering MTV programming during the network s Spring Break week from March 20 to 27 2004 accusing MTV of irresponsibly promoting sex drugs and alcohol to impressionable youth In response to the report MTV network executive Jeannie Kedas argued that the report underestimates young people s intellect and their level of sophistication On February 6 however New York Times columnist Frank Rich argued that censorship on television was becoming more prevalent following the halftime show in his February 6 2005 column The Year of Living Indecently Examples he cited included more than sixty affiliates of ABC refusing to broadcast Saving Private Ryan due to the profanity prevalent throughout the film which was to be aired unedited in its entirety by the network and PBS editing obscene language out of certain programs as the film Dirty War Abroad In Canada where the show was broadcast by Global Television Network the incident passed largely without controversy only about 50 Canadians complained about the incident to the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council CBSC CBSC received roughly twice as many complaints about other aspects of the Super Bowl broadcast including music and advertising issues though some of those complaints were about Canadian content simsub issues preventing viewing of the popular American ads Professor Robert Thompson directo r of the Center for the Study of Popular Television at Syracuse University was quoted by Peter Bowes of BBC News as speculating I know many people in other countries are scratching their heads and thinking What in the world is the big fuss over there Legal action On February 4 Terri Carlin a banker residing in Knoxville Tennessee launched a class action lawsuit against Jackson and Timberlake on behalf of all American citizens who watched the outrageous conduct The lawsuit alleged that the halftime show contained sexually explicit acts solely designed to garner publicity and ultimately to increase profits for themselves The lawsuit sought maximum punitive and compensatory damages from the performers Ms Carlin later dropped the lawsuit Three months later Eric Stephenson a lawyer from Farmington Utah filed a 5 000 lawsuit in small claims court against Viacom for false advertising of the Super Bowl halftime show as he the father of three young children claimed that pre game adve rtising led him to believe that the halftime show would consist of marching bands balloons and a patriotic celebration The lawsuit was rejected because Stephenson should have filed a federal lawsuit or complaint to the FCC which was already investigating the halftime show America Online the Internet service provider that sponsored the halftime show demanded a refund of the approximately 7 5 million that it paid to sponsor and advertise on the halftime show However no other advertisers of the Super Bowl had similar demands The halftime show led to a great spike in FCC issued fines and received complaints compared to those from previous years The incident triggered a rash of fines that the FCC levied soon after the Super Bowl alleging that the context of the wardrobe malfunction was intended to pander titillate and shock those watching because it happened within the lyrics within Timberlake s performance of Rock Your Body Hurry up cause you re taking too long better have you n aked by the end of this song In addition the FCC cited a news article on the website of MTV MTV com claiming that the halftime show would promise shocking moments and that officials of both CBS and MTV were well aware of the overall sexual nature of the Jackson Timberlake segment and fully sanctioned itndeed touted it as shocking to attract potential viewers CBS however argued that the exposure was unplanned although in later statements CBS asserted that while the exposure was unplanned by CBS it was deliberately planned by Timberlake and Jackson independently and clandestinely On September 22 2004 the FCC fined Viacom the maximum 27 500 US penalty for each of the twenty CBS owned television stations including satellites of WFRV in Green Bay WCCO in Minneapolis and KUTV in Salt Lake City current CBS owned and operated station KOVR in Sacramento at the time was owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group for a total 550 000 fine the largest ever against a television broadcaster at that time However the Parents Television Council and even some of the FCC commissioners criticized the FCC for fining only twenty CBS stations not all of them for the halftime show Sixty six percent of respondents to a March 2005 Time magazine poll believed that the FCC overreacted to the halftime show by fining CBS On November 24 2004 Viacom paid out 3 5 million to settle outstanding indecency complaints and stated that it would challenge the 550 000 penalty related to the incident The Parents Television Council has frequently criticized the appeal because they have claimed hypocrisy in CBS s immediate apology in the days following the Super Bowl In March 2006 the FCC affirmed that the Super Bowl halftime show was indecent so CBS paid the FCC s issued fine in July 2006 in order to take their appeal against their fine to federal court CBS appealed the fine on September 17 at the U S Third Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia On July 21 2008 that court ruled in favor of CBS t hrowing out the FCC s fine on the grounds that the enforcement involved a significant deviation from prior practice that wasn t announced as a clear policy change On May 4 2009 however the Supreme Court vacated and remanded and the case back to the Third Circuit for reconsideration in light of the previously decided Federal Communications Commission v Fox Television Stations 2009 Other controversies Commercials Prior to the broadcast CBS rejected the MoveOn org ad Bush in 30 Seconds because it was deemed too controversial CBS stated that it had a decades old policy of rejecting ads regarding controversial issues of public importance although MoveOn charged that the networks had previously accepted similar ads from other groups The Super Bowl broadcast featured numerous commercials for erectile dysfunction medicines and advertisements for Anheuser Busch s Bud Light brand featuring a flatulating horse and a dog attacking male genitalia however no politically charged ads appear ed In a league mandated policy meant to clear the airwaves of such advertisements the NFL announced that those types of commercials would not air again during Super Bowl broadcasts the league ended an advertising relationship with Levitra in March 2007 as an official league sponsor Additionally Anheuser Busch said that ads akin to those would never be produced again In January 2005 Fox the network that carried Super Bowl XXXIX under the alternating network contract rejected an advertisement for the cold remedy Airborne that briefly featured the naked buttocks of veteran actor Mickey Rooney Mark Roberts Moments after the Jackson Timberlake tangle streaker Mark Roberts added to the controversial halftime by running around the field nearly naked except for some writing on his body which read SUPER BOWEL on the front an advertisement for online betting website goldenpalace com and a well placed G string Part of Roberts stunt was seen on air in America CBS chose to keep its camer as in a wide shot view of the stadium and use quick cutaways to players and coaches as Roberts ran around the field until players from both competing teams the New England Patriots and the Carolina Panthers tackled him Matt Chatham the Patriots special teams expert and reserve linebacker initially knocked Roberts down thus allowing stadium security and police to arrest Roberts and eject him from Reliant Stadium the site of the game Roberts would return on October 28 2007 when the NFL staged the first regular season game played outside North America before the second half of the New York Giants Miami Dolphins contest at London s Wembley Stadium in what he dubbed Super Bowel Returns Aftermath and effects Censorship and regulation of broadcasting Website Soap Opera Central speculated that the fallout from this incident may have had a subtle effect on daytime television These television shows are known for love in the afternoon and regularly feature romantic couplings shortly be fore the Super Bowl the Procter amp Gamble soap operas As the World Turns and Guiding Light had gone as far as featuring rear male nudity during sexual scenes After the Super Bowl controversy FCC commissioner Michael J Copps stated that it was time for a crackdown on daytime television and indicated that he was reviewing whether soap operas were violating the agency s indecency prohibitions Two other major sporting events that followed the Super Bowl that year also were forced to clean up their respective halftime shows following the incident The Pro Bowl which would be played on February 8 originally was to feature singer J C Chasez who was a member of boy band N Sync as was Timberlake sing the National Anthem before the game and perform his hit song Blowin Me Up with Her Love at halftime However the NFL would not allow Chasez to perform during halftime due to the sexually suggestive content of his chosen song even though cable network ESPN carried the game replacing it wit h traditional Hawaiian dancers which would be more appropriate for the game s atmosphere given that it was held in Aiea Hawaii a suburb of Honolulu and many

But the peace he fought so hard for is about to get a lot less idyllic - Business - Business Ideas

Access Hollywood nabbed two interviews on the occasion of the Scream Awards ceremony last Saturday (airing tonight at 9PM EST on SPIKE TV). It's great that both Lena Headey and Sean Bean were able to attend. First off, a video interview with both of them, after the win, sharing their impressions as well as thoughts on Lena's good friend Peter Dinklage.Even more interesting bits appear in this interview with Lena, where she discusses Cersei in season two and her character's relationships towards others, most notably Tyrion and Joffrey. Here are some snippets that I liked most:"I think she can't admit it to anybody," the actress continued, referring to Cersei's upcoming Season 2 predicament. "She's dying to ask for help, and she never will." / We're on our last few episodes," she said of progress on Season 2. "Joffrey is becoming more trouble." / "Jack Gleason is adorable, and just so good at being a little sh**," she laughed, complimenting her co-star. "He's so good at bein g terrible." / "This season there's a big arc with Cersei and Tyrion's relationship, which is really interesting, because it's love-hate there, totally," she told Access. "It's been really fun filming all those scenes, and there's just a lot more drama this year."Natalia Tena, not to be outdone by Miltos Yerolemou, has sent us her own thank you video! She literally stepped off the set of Game of Thrones and recorded this video in her trailer this morning, after learning she had won best supporting actress in our WiCnet Awards poll. Check it out!Winter Is Coming: How cool is that? Thanks to Natalia for taking the time to thank the fans and for recording and sending the video along to us. We're looking forward to seeing more Osha in season two! And if you want to see more of Natalia (literally and figuratively) right now, check out these YouTube videos of her band, Molotov Jukebox.Vote for ThronesYour votes helped pushed Game of Thrones to three Scream Award wins. Hopefully we can once again harness the power of the internet and get Thrones some more recognition!First, the People's Choice Awards has opened voting and Thrones has been pre-selected in two categories, Favorite Sci-Fi/Fantasy TV Show and Favorite Cable TV Drama. You also have the option to submit write-in votes for each category, so if you want you could write in some of the cast members in the acting categories. On Nov 8th, the top 5 vote-getters in each category will be announced as nominees and a new round of voting will begin. So vote often to get Thrones into that top 5!Second, TV Guide Magazine is holding a fan vote to determine what TV show will grace the cover of their Dec 12th issue. You have to "Like" their Facebook fan page to vote, but once you do, it looks like you can vote as often as you wish.Looks like we're in line for a March release for the Game of Thrones season one DVD and Blu-Ray. At least according to this British Video Association listing. This official-lookin g site claims to be the online home for "the trade body that represents the interests of publishers and rights owners of video home entertainment." They have Thrones set for a March 19th release date. And it looks like French fans will have a slightly shorter wait as this Warner Bros. France promo video advertises the release date as March 7th.Doing a bit more digging on that Mar 19th date, I'm guessing Mar 20th is more likely, as these things generally come out on Tuesdays. In addition, the Boardwalk Empire listing on the same site says Jan 9th is the release date, when it actually won't release until Jan 10th

Burnout Revenge - Wafer Check Valve manufacturer - Hand Lever - News - Business News

GameplayIn Burnout Revenge, players compete in a range of racing game types with different aims. These take place within rush-hour traffic, and include circuit racing, Road Rage (where players cause as many rivals to crash as possible within a time limit, or until the player's car is wrecked), Burning Lap (a single-lap, single-racer time attack mode), Eliminator (a circuit race where every thirty seconds, the last-placed racer's car is detonated; the race continues until only one racer is left), and Crash (where the player is placed at a junction with the aim of accumulating as many "Crash Dollars" as possible). A new gameplay feature in Burnout Revenge is the ability to ram same-way small to medium traffic, known as "traffic checking", propelling the rammed car forward; the event in which a "checked" car hits a rival is considered a Takedown. Traffic checking is the focus of a new race type, Traffic Attack (whereby a player must earn a set amount of Crash Dollars through checking traffic), which can be used later on.During these events, players have access to a limited amount of boost which is acquired through various dangerous driving techniques, including but not limited to driving on the wrong side of the road, tailgating opponents and drifting. Unique to the series is the concept of battling other rivals; unlike other video games in the racing genre, players are encouraged, and sometimes even required, to ram rival cars and cause traffic to crash. Causing a rival to crash is referred to as a "Takedown", rewarding the player by extending the length of their boost gauge and completely refilling it. In designated events, boost can also be used to activate a "Crashbreaker" during a crash, detonating the car and causing other nearby cars to crash. When the rival car takes the player down, the player will have to take the ultimate REVENGE by taking down the revenge rivals (which the arrow at the top of the car turned red) is referred to as "Re venge Takedown".In the main single-player game mode, players compete in a world tour consisting of 169 events across three continents, divided into a series of 10 "ranks". The ranks which a player has access to is determined by their "Revenge Rank", which increases after completing events. By increasing their Rank sufficiently, the player "ranks up" and unlocks the next rank of events.The game also features support for multiplayer gameplay, both online and offline. In addition to the racing modes, the game features three types of Crash modes: Crash Battle (multiple players attempt a junction at the same time), Crash Party (players take turns at attempting junctions across several rounds), and Crash Tour (a golf-like version of Crash Party, with players attempting to accumulate a certain amount of Crash Dollars in as few attempts as possible; after the last round ends the player with the lowest score wins). Xbox 360 versionThe Xbox 360 version of Burnout Revenge includes seve ral new features and improves the graphics of the game to utilize the power of the next-gen console. The game includes 10 new crash junctions on the Crash Tour. It also includes a vastly improved online mode that introduces online Revenge Rivals. This system allows players to keep track of their number of times they have been taken out or have taken out any given player.The new version also includes a new Burnout Clips feature, which allows to save 30 second clips of any offline race played and can be shared them with other players over Xbox Live. Bonus vehiclesThere are two extra vehicles that can be unlocked by the presence of a saved game from another title on the memory card or hard drive when you first create your profile. A Madden NFL 06 save will unlock the Madden Challenge Bus and a Burnout 3: Takedown save will unlock the Dominator Assassin. Both of these cars are available only for Crash events. They are also available for online use if you own an online adapter. A lthough it may not be hidden, after reaching the "Elite" rank, you unlock the Black Elite Racer, which has some references to the game, Black. Example, there are bullet holes all around the car, and the license plate on the back reads "Kellar", which is who you play as in Black Downloadable contentThe Xbox 360 version of Burnout Revenge was the first game to take advantage of kiosk downloads in North America, where players could take their Xbox 360 Memory Unit to participating stores such as GameStop, Circuit City, and Best Buy, and download new content for the game onto it. The provided content varied between kiosks.Xbox Live Marketplace content is also available in the form of new cars, including:Alienware CarDolby CarMonster CarPlantronics CarSpike TV CarYellowcard Car ReceptionPlease help improve this article by expanding it.

Kotaku Service arrived interesting gossip, which shows that EA Canada for more than two years working on a new installment of the SSX series, which allows to incorporate the fighting gravity riders and freestyle skiing (introduced in SSX On Tour). Production would be released in versions for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3

According to the informant Kotaku editors, a new SSX will be a sort of return to the roots of the wow powerleveling series (they date back to 2000 and the PlayStation 2 console), but apparently it does not run out of new solutions, including the least successful control system known in the series SKATE (doing the use of two analog knobs). What's more, the game have to work largely with people in another part of the acquis SKATE'a. As everyone knows, about extreme sports, they have quite a lot to say.

It should be noted at this point that at the beginning of last month, appeared on the Web information about the registration by Electronic Arts a number of new Internet domains, which relate directly to the SSX series. Publisher thereby suggested that the new scene could bear the title of SSX or SSX Deadly Descent First Descent. So far EA has not opted for wider comment, unfortunately this fact.

In addition, Kotaku cites in his message speculation about a survey, through which the company Electronic Arts tried this year to reach your fans SSX. They contain a description of the potential production of snowboarding, maintained in very arcade-style (with the possibility ?migania the highest mountain peaks, surrounded by rolling the boulders, avalanches, etc.). For the case of EA was trying to find out whether the possibility of implementing new elements - including even base-jumping, drops from a helicopter and skyboardingu - meet the interest of fans. The case died down fairly quickly, not really bringing much new.

It is also worth noting that on the carpet is mysterious The Planet. This is a teaser to say, having to announce a new, unspecified production, which the official announcement comes during a gala Spike TV Video Game Awards (will be held this weekend). It shows, among others snow-capped peaks, and the helicopter, which falls flare. And while some players have suggested that refers to the Battlefield 3, theme also fits well with the SSX series.

Making Game of Thrones is back - Business - Business Ideas

Bryan Cogman's increased production responsibilities (not to mention his new baby) has led to him passing the mantle of official on-set blogger to Cat Taylor. Taylor is the assistant to producers David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, which means she should have some fun stories to share. Here is a snippet from her first post:I'll take you behind the scenes of the filming of Season 2, and while there are many secrets I have to keep and a lot of unexpected twists to come, there's still a lot for us to talk about: One King is dead, but many rise. Cersei plots while Joffrey rules. The Hound is hunting. Jon is North of the Wall, Robb is at war and Arya is nowhere to be found. Littlefinger has a plan that no one yet comprehends. And let's not even get started on Tyrion The shooting has begun with so many people in different locations that we've assembled two crews to get the job done (and given them the requisite codenames "Wolf" and "Dragon"). In the last few weeks a charter flight lef t with the Wolf crew, costumes and props packed to the wing tips en route to sunnier shores. Finding a commercial flight to Westeros is harder than you'd guess! The offices here were weirdly quiet as the Dragon unit got ready for three weeks of night shoots and everyone waited to see what would happen at the Emmys Not only did we get our first on-set blog post, but HBO published the first official behind the scenes photo from filming season two!Winter Is Coming: So excited that we will be getting production updates once again from MGoT! Looking forward to hearing more anecdotes from set. And, of course, to some more production photos!Access Hollywood nabbed two interviews on the occasion of the Scream Awards ceremony last Saturday (airing tonight at 9PM EST on SPIKE TV). It's great that both Lena Headey and Sean Bean were able to attend. First off, a video interview with both of them, after the win, sharing their impressions as well as thoughts on Lena's good friend Peter Di nklage.Even more interesting bits appear in this interview with Lena, where she discusses Cersei in season two and her character's relationships towards others, most notably Tyrion and Joffrey. Here are some snippets that I liked most:"I think she can't admit it to anybody," the actress continued, referring to Cersei's upcoming Season 2 predicament. "She's dying to ask for help, and she never will." / We're on our last few episodes," she said of progress on Season 2. "Joffrey is becoming more trouble." / "Jack Gleason is adorable, and just so good at being a little sh**," she laughed, complimenting her co-star. "He's so good at being terrible." / "This season there's a big arc with Cersei and Tyrion's relationship, which is really interesting, because it's love-hate there, totally," she told Access. "It's been really fun filming all those scenes, and there's just a lot more drama this year."Two more videos after the break, including one where Sean Bean speculates on possibly returning for more filmingSpeaking of Jan 10th, it looks like HBO plans to release a promo disc for Game of Thrones on that date. This will likely include the first episode only and usually gets given away by retailers for free with the purchase of any other HBO series.Winter Is Coming: So March it is then. A bit of a wait, but at least watching all the special features will help pass that last month until season two!

Because of the simplicity of the game, it doesn't demand a high end PC but nonetheless it has turned out to be one very addictive game and fares well compared to other new PC games.

If you fancy online role playing games then a great choice would be Dragon Nest, an unparalleled blend of a hack and slash game and a role playing game that makes for a different and exciting gaming experience. To start off the adventure you are given the choice to play as either : a warrior, a cleric, an archer or a sorcerer. Each class features its own unique strengths and weaknesses and job advancement as well. Different versions have been released but it is best to choose the version that falls into your area. The game is also under constant improvement and people who play this game should expect to see a lot of cool updates and patches.

Last but not the least of the new PC games that is recommended to you is a first person shooter called Rage. The game is set in the near future where asteroids have hit the earth. As the protagonist you emerge into a world that is trying to rebuild itself. Raider gangs and mutants now roam the earth while a new oppressive government called the Regime has now emerged and has found a particular interest in your character. The game features intense first person shooting, vehicular battles and a huge world to explore as well as jaw dropping graphics.

Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show controversy - China Wafer Type Butterfly Valve - Pvc Butterfly Valv - Business

The incident Among several other acts Jackson and Timberlake performed a medley of Jackson s songs All for You and Rhythm Nation and Timberlake s song Rock Your Body during the halftime show The performance featured many suggestive dance moves by both singers and as Timberlake reached his final line of Rock Your Body I m gonna have you naked by the end of this song Timberlake pulled off a part of Jackson s costume revealing her right breast partially covered by a nipple shield for nine sixteenths of a second In the immediate aftermath of the incident the CBS broadcast cut to an aerial view of Reliant Stadium but was unable to do so before the picture was sent to millions of viewers televisions Besides Jackson s exposure the show s other performances included gestures by the rapper Nelly toward his crotch and the musician Kid Rock appearing in a poncho made from a slitted American flag which he later tossed into the crowd Public reaction United States In the United States t he exposure of Jackson s nipple shield led to much media controversy and headlines The media watchdog group Parents Television Council PTC issued a statement that same day condemning the halftime show announcing that their members would file indecency complaints with the FCC and the council supported the FCC s decision to investigate the halftime show immediately In addition the FCC received nearly 540 000 complaints from Americans with the PTC claiming responsibility for around 65 000 of them In its appeal to the Third Circuit Court CBS disputed how many of the complaints were filed by individual non organized viewers Columnists L Brent Bozell III and Phyllis Schlafly also expressed criticism of the halftime show in their respective weekly columns Democratic senator Zell Miller of Georgia both on the floor of the United States Senate and in an editorial on Salon com denounced the halftime show as what he perceived as declining morality in America On the day immediately foll owing the Super Bowl then FCC chairman Michael Powell ordered an investigation into the halftime show Timberlake told KCBS TV a few days following the Super Bowl that even his own family was offended by the Super Bowl mishap However an Associated Press poll taken nearly three weeks after the Super Bowl found that although 54 of American adults considered the exposure distasteful only 18 supported the FCC s investigation Michael Powell then chairman of the FCC was quick to order an investigation into the halftime show The Super Bowl controversy was also a subject of comedy all across the late night television shows For example CBS s own Late Show with David Letterman mocked the incident all week following the Super Bowl Host David Letterman jokingly commentated on the controversy the day after the Super Bowl that he was happy to see this thing happen because that meant for one night I wasn t the biggest boob on CBS The next day he also joked that President George W Bush forme d a Department of Wardrobe Security to prevent further wardrobe malfunctions like this On February 4 Letterman opened his monologue by joking about having a wardrobe malfunction Additionally the Top Ten Lists featured on the program on that same night and two nights later briefly referenced the incident South Park took aim at the hysteria in its eighth season premiere Good Times With Weapons on March 17 of that year when Eric Cartman sneaks across a stage in the nude and later blames the incident on a wardrobe malfunction The townspeople are angered by Cartman s display rather than feeling concern for a horribly mutilated and disoriented character Butters who is also present on stage referring to the acceptance of violence and the taboo against nudity In the 2004 MTV Video Music Awards comedian Dave Chappelle jokingly told MTV that his appearance in the VMA was the biggest mistake since you put Janet Jackson on the Super Bowl Family Guy also did an episode based around this wardrobe malfunction The episode PTV involved actor David Hyde Pierce having a trouser malfunction at the Emmys The halftime show continued to be a subject of discussion in 2005 At the beginning of 2005 the parody newspaper The Onion ran as its headline article for January 26 2005 U S Children Still Traumatized One Year After Seeing Partially Exposed Breast On TV The article s satirical target was the nation s reaction to the incident rather than the incident itself On February 1 2005 exactly one year after the halftime show the PTC released a report titled MTV Smut Peddlers Targeting Kids with Sex Drugs and Alcohol covering MTV programming during the network s Spring Break week from March 20 to 27 2004 accusing MTV of irresponsibly promoting sex drugs and alcohol to impressionable youth In response to the report MTV network executive Jeannie Kedas argued that the report underestimates young people s intellect and their level of sophistication On February 6 however New York Times columnist Frank Rich argued that censorship on television was becoming more prevalent following the halftime show in his February 6 2005 column The Year of Living Indecently Examples he cited included more than sixty affiliates of ABC refusing to broadcast Saving Private Ryan due to the profanity prevalent throughout the film which was to be aired unedited in its entirety by the network and PBS editing obscene language out of certain programs as the film Dirty War Abroad In Canada where the show was broadcast by Global Television Network the incident passed largely without controversy only about 50 Canadians complained about the incident to the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council CBSC CBSC received roughly twice as many complaints about other aspects of the Super Bowl broadcast including music and advertising issues though some of those complaints were about Canadian content simsub issues preventing viewing of the popular American ads Professor Robert Thompson directo r of the Center for the Study of Popular Television at Syracuse University was quoted by Peter Bowes of BBC News as speculating I know many people in other countries are scratching their heads and thinking What in the world is the big fuss over there Legal action On February 4 Terri Carlin a banker residing in Knoxville Tennessee launched a class action lawsuit against Jackson and Timberlake on behalf of all American citizens who watched the outrageous conduct The lawsuit alleged that the halftime show contained sexually explicit acts solely designed to garner publicity and ultimately to increase profits for themselves The lawsuit sought maximum punitive and compensatory damages from the performers Ms Carlin later dropped the lawsuit Three months later Eric Stephenson a lawyer from Farmington Utah filed a 5 000 lawsuit in small claims court against Viacom for false advertising of the Super Bowl halftime show as he the father of three young children claimed that pre game adve rtising led him to believe that the halftime show would consist of marching bands balloons and a patriotic celebration The lawsuit was rejected because Stephenson should have filed a federal lawsuit or complaint to the FCC which was already investigating the halftime show America Online the Internet service provider that sponsored the halftime show demanded a refund of the approximately 7 5 million that it paid to sponsor and advertise on the halftime show However no other advertisers of the Super Bowl had similar demands The halftime show led to a great spike in FCC issued fines and received complaints compared to those from previous years The incident triggered a rash of fines that the FCC levied soon after the Super Bowl alleging that the context of the wardrobe malfunction was intended to pander titillate and shock those watching because it happened within the lyrics within Timberlake s performance of Rock Your Body Hurry up cause you re taking too long better have you n aked by the end of this song In addition the FCC cited a news article on the website of MTV MTV com claiming that the halftime show would promise shocking moments and that officials of both CBS and MTV were well aware of the overall sexual nature of the Jackson Timberlake segment and fully sanctioned itndeed touted it as shocking to attract potential viewers CBS however argued that the exposure was unplanned although in later statements CBS asserted that while the exposure was unplanned by CBS it was deliberately planned by Timberlake and Jackson independently and clandestinely On September 22 2004 the FCC fined Viacom the maximum 27 500 US penalty for each of the twenty CBS owned television stations including satellites of WFRV in Green Bay WCCO in Minneapolis and KUTV in Salt Lake City current CBS owned and operated station KOVR in Sacramento at the time was owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group for a total 550 000 fine the largest ever against a television broadcaster at that time However the Parents Television Council and even some of the FCC commissioners criticized the FCC for fining only twenty CBS stations not all of them for the halftime show Sixty six percent of respondents to a March 2005 Time magazine poll believed that the FCC overreacted to the halftime show by fining CBS On November 24 2004 Viacom paid out 3 5 million to settle outstanding indecency complaints and stated that it would challenge the 550 000 penalty related to the incident The Parents Television Council has frequently criticized the appeal because they have claimed hypocrisy in CBS s immediate apology in the days following the Super Bowl In March 2006 the FCC affirmed that the Super Bowl halftime show was indecent so CBS paid the FCC s issued fine in July 2006 in order to take their appeal against their fine to federal court CBS appealed the fine on September 17 at the U S Third Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia On July 21 2008 that court ruled in favor of CBS t hrowing out the FCC s fine on the grounds that the enforcement involved a significant deviation from prior practice that wasn t announced as a clear policy change On May 4 2009 however the Supreme Court vacated and remanded and the case back to the Third Circuit for reconsideration in light of the previously decided Federal Communications Commission v Fox Television Stations 2009 Other controversies Commercials Prior to the broadcast CBS rejected the MoveOn org ad Bush in 30 Seconds because it was deemed too controversial CBS stated that it had a decades old policy of rejecting ads regarding controversial issues of public importance although MoveOn charged that the networks had previously accepted similar ads from other groups The Super Bowl broadcast featured numerous commercials for erectile dysfunction medicines and advertisements for Anheuser Busch s Bud Light brand featuring a flatulating horse and a dog attacking male genitalia however no politically charged ads appear ed In a league mandated policy meant to clear the airwaves of such advertisements the NFL announced that those types of commercials would not air again during Super Bowl broadcasts the league ended an advertising relationship with Levitra in March 2007 as an official league sponsor Additionally Anheuser Busch said that ads akin to those would never be produced again In January 2005 Fox the network that carried Super Bowl XXXIX under the alternating network contract rejected an advertisement for the cold remedy Airborne that briefly featured the naked buttocks of veteran actor Mickey Rooney Mark Roberts Moments after the Jackson Timberlake tangle streaker Mark Roberts added to the controversial halftime by running around the field nearly naked except for some writing on his body which read SUPER BOWEL on the front an advertisement for online betting website goldenpalace com and a well placed G string Part of Roberts stunt was seen on air in America CBS chose to keep its camer as in a wide shot view of the stadium and use quick cutaways to players and coaches as Roberts ran around the field until players from both competing teams the New England Patriots and the Carolina Panthers tackled him Matt Chatham the Patriots special teams expert and reserve linebacker initially knocked Roberts down thus allowing stadium security and police to arrest Roberts and eject him from Reliant Stadium the site of the game Roberts would return on October 28 2007 when the NFL staged the first regular season game played outside North America before the second half of the New York Giants Miami Dolphins contest at London s Wembley Stadium in what he dubbed Super Bowel Returns Aftermath and effects Censorship and regulation of broadcasting Website Soap Opera Central speculated that the fallout from this incident may have had a subtle effect on daytime television These television shows are known for love in the afternoon and regularly feature romantic couplings shortly be fore the Super Bowl the Procter amp Gamble soap operas As the World Turns and Guiding Light had gone as far as featuring rear male nudity during sexual scenes After the Super Bowl controversy FCC commissioner Michael J Copps stated that it was time for a crackdown on daytime television and indicated that he was reviewing whether soap operas were violating the agency s indecency prohibitions Two other major sporting events that followed the Super Bowl that year also were forced to clean up their respective halftime shows following the incident The Pro Bowl which would be played on February 8 originally was to feature singer J C Chasez who was a member of boy band N Sync as was Timberlake sing the National Anthem before the game and perform his hit song Blowin Me Up with Her Love at halftime However the NFL would not allow Chasez to perform during halftime due to the sexually suggestive content of his chosen song even though cable network ESPN carried the game replacing it wit h traditional Hawaiian dancers which would be more appropriate for the game s atmosphere given that it was held in Aiea Hawaii a suburb of Honolulu and many

But the peace he fought so hard for is about to get a lot less idyllic - Business - Business Ideas

Access Hollywood nabbed two interviews on the occasion of the Scream Awards ceremony last Saturday (airing tonight at 9PM EST on SPIKE TV). It's great that both Lena Headey and Sean Bean were able to attend. First off, a video interview with both of them, after the win, sharing their impressions as well as thoughts on Lena's good friend Peter Dinklage.Even more interesting bits appear in this interview with Lena, where she discusses Cersei in season two and her character's relationships towards others, most notably Tyrion and Joffrey. Here are some snippets that I liked most:"I think she can't admit it to anybody," the actress continued, referring to Cersei's upcoming Season 2 predicament. "She's dying to ask for help, and she never will." / We're on our last few episodes," she said of progress on Season 2. "Joffrey is becoming more trouble." / "Jack Gleason is adorable, and just so good at being a little sh**," she laughed, complimenting her co-star. "He's so good at bein g terrible." / "This season there's a big arc with Cersei and Tyrion's relationship, which is really interesting, because it's love-hate there, totally," she told Access. "It's been really fun filming all those scenes, and there's just a lot more drama this year."Natalia Tena, not to be outdone by Miltos Yerolemou, has sent us her own thank you video! She literally stepped off the set of Game of Thrones and recorded this video in her trailer this morning, after learning she had won best supporting actress in our WiCnet Awards poll. Check it out!Winter Is Coming: How cool is that? Thanks to Natalia for taking the time to thank the fans and for recording and sending the video along to us. We're looking forward to seeing more Osha in season two! And if you want to see more of Natalia (literally and figuratively) right now, check out these YouTube videos of her band, Molotov Jukebox.Vote for ThronesYour votes helped pushed Game of Thrones to three Scream Award wins. Hopefully we can once again harness the power of the internet and get Thrones some more recognition!First, the People's Choice Awards has opened voting and Thrones has been pre-selected in two categories, Favorite Sci-Fi/Fantasy TV Show and Favorite Cable TV Drama. You also have the option to submit write-in votes for each category, so if you want you could write in some of the cast members in the acting categories. On Nov 8th, the top 5 vote-getters in each category will be announced as nominees and a new round of voting will begin. So vote often to get Thrones into that top 5!Second, TV Guide Magazine is holding a fan vote to determine what TV show will grace the cover of their Dec 12th issue. You have to "Like" their Facebook fan page to vote, but once you do, it looks like you can vote as often as you wish.Looks like we're in line for a March release for the Game of Thrones season one DVD and Blu-Ray. At least according to this British Video Association listing. This official-lookin g site claims to be the online home for "the trade body that represents the interests of publishers and rights owners of video home entertainment." They have Thrones set for a March 19th release date. And it looks like French fans will have a slightly shorter wait as this Warner Bros. France promo video advertises the release date as March 7th.Doing a bit more digging on that Mar 19th date, I'm guessing Mar 20th is more likely, as these things generally come out on Tuesdays. In addition, the Boardwalk Empire listing on the same site says Jan 9th is the release date, when it actually won't release until Jan 10th

Burnout Revenge - Wafer Check Valve manufacturer - Hand Lever - News - Business News

GameplayIn Burnout Revenge, players compete in a range of racing game types with different aims. These take place within rush-hour traffic, and include circuit racing, Road Rage (where players cause as many rivals to crash as possible within a time limit, or until the player's car is wrecked), Burning Lap (a single-lap, single-racer time attack mode), Eliminator (a circuit race where every thirty seconds, the last-placed racer's car is detonated; the race continues until only one racer is left), and Crash (where the player is placed at a junction with the aim of accumulating as many "Crash Dollars" as possible). A new gameplay feature in Burnout Revenge is the ability to ram same-way small to medium traffic, known as "traffic checking", propelling the rammed car forward; the event in which a "checked" car hits a rival is considered a Takedown. Traffic checking is the focus of a new race type, Traffic Attack (whereby a player must earn a set amount of Crash Dollars through checking traffic), which can be used later on.During these events, players have access to a limited amount of boost which is acquired through various dangerous driving techniques, including but not limited to driving on the wrong side of the road, tailgating opponents and drifting. Unique to the series is the concept of battling other rivals; unlike other video games in the racing genre, players are encouraged, and sometimes even required, to ram rival cars and cause traffic to crash. Causing a rival to crash is referred to as a "Takedown", rewarding the player by extending the length of their boost gauge and completely refilling it. In designated events, boost can also be used to activate a "Crashbreaker" during a crash, detonating the car and causing other nearby cars to crash. When the rival car takes the player down, the player will have to take the ultimate REVENGE by taking down the revenge rivals (which the arrow at the top of the car turned red) is referred to as "Re venge Takedown".In the main single-player game mode, players compete in a world tour consisting of 169 events across three continents, divided into a series of 10 "ranks". The ranks which a player has access to is determined by their "Revenge Rank", which increases after completing events. By increasing their Rank sufficiently, the player "ranks up" and unlocks the next rank of events.The game also features support for multiplayer gameplay, both online and offline. In addition to the racing modes, the game features three types of Crash modes: Crash Battle (multiple players attempt a junction at the same time), Crash Party (players take turns at attempting junctions across several rounds), and Crash Tour (a golf-like version of Crash Party, with players attempting to accumulate a certain amount of Crash Dollars in as few attempts as possible; after the last round ends the player with the lowest score wins). Xbox 360 versionThe Xbox 360 version of Burnout Revenge includes seve ral new features and improves the graphics of the game to utilize the power of the next-gen console. The game includes 10 new crash junctions on the Crash Tour. It also includes a vastly improved online mode that introduces online Revenge Rivals. This system allows players to keep track of their number of times they have been taken out or have taken out any given player.The new version also includes a new Burnout Clips feature, which allows to save 30 second clips of any offline race played and can be shared them with other players over Xbox Live. Bonus vehiclesThere are two extra vehicles that can be unlocked by the presence of a saved game from another title on the memory card or hard drive when you first create your profile. A Madden NFL 06 save will unlock the Madden Challenge Bus and a Burnout 3: Takedown save will unlock the Dominator Assassin. Both of these cars are available only for Crash events. They are also available for online use if you own an online adapter. A lthough it may not be hidden, after reaching the "Elite" rank, you unlock the Black Elite Racer, which has some references to the game, Black. Example, there are bullet holes all around the car, and the license plate on the back reads "Kellar", which is who you play as in Black Downloadable contentThe Xbox 360 version of Burnout Revenge was the first game to take advantage of kiosk downloads in North America, where players could take their Xbox 360 Memory Unit to participating stores such as GameStop, Circuit City, and Best Buy, and download new content for the game onto it. The provided content varied between kiosks.Xbox Live Marketplace content is also available in the form of new cars, including:Alienware CarDolby CarMonster CarPlantronics CarSpike TV CarYellowcard Car ReceptionPlease help improve this article by expanding it.

Electronic Arts is working on a new installment of the SSX series? - Computers - Computer Games

Kotaku Service arrived interesting gossip, which shows that EA Canada for more than two years working on a new installment of the SSX series, which allows to incorporate the fighting gravity riders and freestyle skiing (introduced in SSX On Tour). Production would be released in versions for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3

According to the informant Kotaku editors, a new SSX will be a sort of return to the roots of the wow powerleveling series (they date back to 2000 and the PlayStation 2 console), but apparently it does not run out of new solutions, including the least successful control system known in the series SKATE (doing the use of two analog knobs). What's more, the game have to work largely with people in another part of the acquis SKATE'a. As everyone knows, about extreme sports, they have quite a lot to say.

It should be noted at this point that at the beginning of last month, appeared on the Web information about the registration by Electronic Arts a number of new Internet domains, which relate directly to the SSX series. Publisher thereby suggested that the new scene could bear the title of SSX or SSX Deadly Descent First Descent. So far EA has not opted for wider comment, unfortunately this fact.

In addition, Kotaku cites in his message speculation about a survey, through which the company Electronic Arts tried this year to reach your fans SSX. They contain a description of the potential production of snowboarding, maintained in very arcade-style (with the possibility ?migania the highest mountain peaks, surrounded by rolling the boulders, avalanches, etc.). For the case of EA was trying to find out whether the possibility of implementing new elements - including even base-jumping, drops from a helicopter and skyboardingu - meet the interest of fans. The case died down fairly quickly, not really bringing much new.

It is also worth noting that on the carpet is mysterious The Planet. This is a teaser to say, having to announce a new, unspecified production, which the official announcement comes during a gala Spike TV Video Game Awards (will be held this weekend). It shows, among others snow-capped peaks, and the helicopter, which falls flare. And while some players have suggested that refers to the Battlefield 3, theme also fits well with the SSX series.

We remind you that the SSX series consists of five main views, the last one - SSX Blur - Wii was released in 2007. Series alike enjoyed the players and critics, although the highest scores were able to get the first installment, and SSX 3.
