I don't think the problem was the exposure

It was that it was sprung on a huge national audience during a show that was not advertised as prurient, or expected by reasonable people to be so.

That being said, the actual exposure as seen on TV was hardly worth mentioning, and nothing like the photos that were spread all over the Web later, including many--I might add--on sites that are not normally advertised as prurient or expected by reasonable people to be. Drudge, for example, posted not a link, but showed the shots on his opening page at first.

In addition, I don't think this is something that the FCC has to clamp down on with legal action. I mean, really. If the football league wants to take up a gripe with MTV, that can be done off screen, although if they hired MTV in the first place, then some of the idiocy begins at home.

I remember when the phrase "don't make a Federal case out of it" actually meant something.
