New fines for talking dirty or flashing naughty body parts on TV will carry heavy new fines. You might be surprised what other industries could get away with for the same price. Take Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction." The maximum indecency fine is now $500,000 per incident. But if you were in the nuclear industry, you could get away with 8 dangerous accidents at your nuclear plant and still have change coming back from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Rolling Stone compares the indecency fines and finds that Howard Stern's dirty talk would be as expensive as dumping toxic waste into a city water supply or illegally testing pesticides on people. (Rolling Stone)
