Months have passed since R&B singer Erykah Badu stirred up outraged with her controversial “Window Seat” video, in which she took off all her clothes in Dallas’ Dealey Plaza (where President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963). Now, after being charged with disorderly conduct last April, Badu has paid a $500 fine and will serve six months of probation, according to the AP.
Was this all just blown out of proportion? Do you think the punishment fit the crime? Let us know.

She’s probably glad it was blown out of proportion, nobody would have heard of this video if it wasn’t for this.
Well, thank GOD! Wouldn’t want her to not be punished for that horrible, evil nudity!
Well at least she’s not out looking for a handout, I guess…but really, can’t you guys cover a real artist like David Alan Coe?
What no one would’ve heard of the video had she not done this @ Rusty? Where do you live under a rock or under some trailer?
OK, so she pays a fine BUT 6 months probation. I’m sure pedophiles get less time being supervised. Seriously for nudity? Can’t they go fight the war on ignorance or something? I get the fine but the probation REALLY Texas? How much would you fine Bush and how much probation can we get him on for essentially screwing-up this country???
not enough probation in the world for bush xD
