The FCC received a number of complaints over the sight of Red Hot Chili Peppers' nipples during their recent Super Bowl halftime performance.
The ageing funk-rockers, famed for getting nude at any given opportunity, performed alongside Bruno Mars at the mammoth American Football event last month. Now, Deadspin reports that the FCC have received 53 complaints about their appearance.
Like the ill-fortuned Janet Jackson before them, many of these are focussed on their nudity.
One angry capped up complained read: "THIS PERSON NAMED ANTHONY KIEDIS WAS NAKED TO THE WASTE [sic], THRUSTING HIS PELVIS, SAYING 'WHAT HE GOT HE GOT TO GIVE IT PUT IT IN YOU. HE IS CLEARLY TALKING ABOUT HIS PENIS. I AM SHOCKED AND OFFENDED THAT THE FCC WOULD ALLOW THIS FILTH, FIRST JANET JACKSON TALKING ABOUT BREASTESSES, THEN PAUL MCCARTNEY TALKING ABOUT MARIJUANA, THEN BRUNO MARS TALKING ABOUT MY PENIS, THEN ANTHONY KIEDIS TALKING ABOUT HIS PENIS."
Another added: "The halftime show had a gratuitous display of nudity and the nipples of more than one adult were were displayed on Broadcast TV. If Janet Jackson can't show a nipple, then neither should they."
