NHK: Sorry for 'topless' broadcast January 1, 2007
TOKYO, Japan (Reuters) -- A troupe of dancers in skin-colored body suits had Japanese national broadcaster NHK apologizing to viewers of its New Year's Eve music special for what seemed to be a full-scale Janet Jackson-style wardrobe malfunction.
The dancers, who all appeared to be topless and wore skimpy bikini-style bottoms and feathered headdresses, covered the stage during a performance by singer DJ OZMA, prompting about 250 viewers to phone in and complain.
"The dancers were wearing body suits, but we apologize for any misunderstanding," a presenter announced towards the end of the 57th annual "Red and White Song Contest".
"I guess it looked a bit too real," local media quoted the singer as telling reporters after the show, which regularly tops viewer ratings on New Year's Eve in Japan.

Ok, among all of us otaku FGs, at least one of us had to have taped this, right?
If I call in and complain that I didn't get to see it, do you think they might rebroadcast it? Probably not, it's NHK, where true history and sex are both non-existant, but you still have to pay for it!
