Parents Television Council to Justin Timberlake: “We ask you to keep the halftime show friendly and safe for the children watching”

Billboard

In 2004, following the Timberlake-Janet Jackson Nipplegate incident at the Super Bowl halftime, the Parents Television Council had its constituents flood the FCC with indecency complaints. Now that Timberlake is returning to Super Bowl halftime, the conservative watchdog has published an open letter noting that since they were in the same news stories 14 years ago, Timberlake has become “a husband and a father,” who has “brought us joy through your music and your film performances.” The PTC is urging Timberlake to put on a “positive, uplifting, entertaining halftime show on Sunday. Because our Children are Watching. Break a leg.” ALSO: NBC calls its five-second delay on Timberlake "common procedure" -- Fox did it last year with Lady Gaga.
