How should television decency standards be judged and how should violators be dealt with?

Janet Jackson's exposure during the halftime entertainment of this year's Super Bowl caused a huge stir nationwide. The FCC is considering assessing big fines on CBS for the supposed gaffe. According to a Time/CNN poll, 47% of Americans felt that Jackson's performance was a landmark of bad taste. However, according to a Harris Interactive poll, 68% didn't feel that the performance deserved an FCC fine.
