FCC Chariman Michael Powell opens an FCC investigation by saying, "I am outraged at what I saw during the halftime show of the Super Bowl. Like millions of Americans, my family and I fathered around the television for a celebration. Instead, that celebration was tainted by a classless, crass, and deplorable stunt. Our nation's children, parents and citizens deserve better."
Yes, deserve better, like farting horses on the beer commercials, 'cause flatulence and animals is classy.

here's an older story (1970) about an exploding whale. this one didn't explode by itself, it was blown up..:

It happened on November 12, 1970. The carcass of a sperm whale had been rotting on the beach just south of Florence, OR for several days. At the time, the Oregon Highway Division (now called the Oregon Department of Transportation) had jurisdiction over beaches and decided to dispose of the whale the same way they would clear a large boulder from a highway construction project. The rest is history.
