The now infamous Super Bowl halftime show is being targeted by a Davis County man.

Eyewitness News has uncovered court documents showing the man is suing CBS in small claims court.

He wants five thousand dollars in damages, plus another 145 dollars in court costs.

The man is actually an attorney suing for himself, but he won't tell us if he just wants the money or is trying to make some kind of statement.

Janet Jackson's performance on Super Bowl Sunday made international headlines, for what co-performer Justin Timberlake called a "wardrobe malfunction."

Now a Davis County man believes CBS, which broadcast the game, owes him five thousand dollars.

Eric Stephenson is also an attorney, this is his law firm's internet web page. We called Stephenson today to ask him why he is suing, but he refused to give us any answers on camera telling us: he doesn't want any publicity and that the case speaks for itself.

In his lawsuit, Stephenson claims: Viacom deceptively advertised the content and quality of a family oriented television show known as the Super Bowl.

He claims Viacom advertised the show for general audiences, but instead it contained inappropriate, lewd, offensive, violent, and degrading adult content. Viacom knew or should have known these advertisements were untruthful.

But it may not be so easy to get a settlement in small claims court, from one of the nation's biggest media companies.

In a statement for Eyewitness News, attorney Jeff Hunt representing Viacom says: "The case has no legal merit and should be thrown out of court."

Hunt goes on to say: "Neither CBS or MTV had any prior knowledge that Jackson and Timberlake were going to pull their stunt. Janet Jackson has confirmed this in her public statement on the incident."

So what happens now?

A trial is set for May 21st in the Davis County Justice Court. That's when we may finally find out what this lawsuit is really all about.
