Janet Jackson's Super Bowl Titty Massacre aka Janet Jackson's career now officially dead
Published February 01, 2004
Janet Jackson's one second flash of titty at the Super Bowl must constitute the lamest PR stunt of the year that does NOT involve her brother. Janet hereby makes it official with this little desperation ploy that even she recognizes that her career lay just as dead as Michael's.
Some of us were rather contemptuous of the infamous Madonna/Britney kiss on MTV. The fading young star and the long faded older star conjured up a cheap bit of manufactured sexual outrage. Whatever. At least they set it up in some minimal way with the song and costumes, and did manage to get at least a bit of soft porn titillation out of it.
This business with Janet Jackson at the Super Bowl halftime was ten times lamer, though. The lameness starts with the partner in sleaze. We were tantalized for days with some big super special mystery guest, who turns out to be...Justin Timberlake?
On top of which, what kind of crappy excuse for a song was that even supposed to be? Her best bit of the night was "Rhythm Nation," which was a mediocre song at best FIFTEEN YEARS AGO. The used copies of the CD going for 59 cents at Amazon are still overpriced.
Then they finished up with Timberlake ripping open one side of her outfit to briefly expose her right breast. Whoop-de-frickin'-do. Is this supposed to be shocking? TITillating? Oh, please. Is this supposed to make me tumescent?
Jebus Criminy, but she looks old and haggard here. Not to be crappy, but this little display forces me to note that she was looking considerably older than her actual 38 years.

Lame, lamer, LAMEST: Even at that, there's a little tassel ["nipple shield- whatever]. Oh, for crying in a bucket- you can't even pull off a naughty stunt right without stepping back.
Alright, one step further into stupidity- Lame, lamer, lamest, lamest-est ever: Timberlake's pre-fabricated post-event claim that it was "accidental." Right. That's why she had the stupid tassel in place.
Janet Jackson has never been a significant artist- and that's OK. She made a decent sized spate of hits, and made herself a name separate from the family. Good for her.
Instead of just accepting that her run was over, though, she has to come across with this quarter-assed stunt. It's not significant enough to be even a HALF-assed stunt. It won't sell her any records. It won't do anything for her except get a couple of empty headlines, and a few lame jokes. In short, it makes her look like (an old, dried up) cheap, slutty Christina Aguillera. Yuck.
Why are the Jacksons SO utterly desperate for even BAD attention? Why can't they just be content to go out and sign a few autographs on the street corner? You'd think with all their trillions of dollars they could afford therapy or something.
All right, then, Janet- to the Group W bench with you.

Missing the pulse as usual. Demand for her new album, with the song she sang as the lead single, is way up, it appears. Some failure. Even PR froth aside, risque sells. Just ask the talentless Paris Hilton.
Tumescent? Not without Viagra.
Justin ripping off Janet's breast cup to her costume was no coincident. The close up on Drudge Report shows the piece Justin ripped off had snaps on it, which means it was meant to be removed.
What is with the huge nipple ring? So Janet planned for this to happen. After all, she has a new album coming out in April.
I wonder if Madonna told her to flash her tit! Justin is a bad liar.
In Justin's defense, I'm sure he was just following the pre-ordained script that Grandma Janet wrote for him.
you guys are crazy janet is still one of the finest women around, and anyone who complains about her breast would give up there house to have a chance to be with her. So get a life and stop hating on a ;ittle nipple, we see ass crakes on nypd blue and ugly ones at that.
The problem I have with the incident is my 6 year old that was watching the game with me. Damn now I got even more crap to explain thanks Janet! Cheap! Lame! And don't forget its a family show, even Bionce cleaned up for it.
You could just tell him/her/it that they were once plugged into one of them at least 6 to 8 times a day...
janet's not even original. lil' kim had her boob out for a whole evening for the mtv music video awards a few years ago. diana ross gave a few taps to the exposed boob during an award presentation too.
Good god! A bare breast! The world as we know it will now be coming to an end.
Its unbelievable what people get upset over. We have a moron for a president sending kids off to die in a war which was based on lies and all people are worried about is Miss Jackson's bare titty on national television?
Hello! Wake up people! Your kids will survive this. I don't see what the big f*cking deal is about a woman's bare breast. So f*cking what! Its just skin! What's the diff between a man's bare chest and a woman's except for a little extra fat. I know men with bigger tits than some women. People don't seem to mind them running around bare chested.
Wake up people! A woman exposing her breast is the least of our worries.
HellScream, it's not that Janet Jackson's nipple is a Big Deal which will scar our children. It's that it's a really exceptionally LAME excuse for a publicity stunt.
Had to bring up my "bitch tits" didn't you... ;-)
Ok I understand that she's old n'all, but dont compare her to Christina the slut. Nothing is worse than her.... ohh wait brittany is... and besides your selling her cd on your web page... that was a pretty nice titty too...(Jon)
I've commented already on a previous article and I comment again. How can you dare to pass judgement without knowing the truth? You're daring to make a quick assumption as your own PR stunt. You hypocrite.
Janet Jackson is an AMAZING woman and a MIND-BLOWING performer. How dare you - and all you nameless comment-ers - lay such a demeaning slap onto the reputation of such an outstanding person?
The adornment? Why not? I have unmentionable piercings and I dorn them without ever showing them. For certain people it's a fun little, in a sense, childish thing. The need for accessories.
Look, it is just a breast. When you're born you suckle at your mother's breast. As a child you lay your head on your mother's bussom to be comforted. It is, after all, just a lump of fat. Don't exaggerate such a miniscule event.
Can't you see the scorn and shock on her face as well? She's embarassed...don't make it worse. You shouldn't have that right, not just because she is Janet Jackson but merely because she is human.
The Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
hey every one is entitled to their own opinion.......
And if I were engaging in such a cheap stunt as the Janet Jackson Superbowl Nipple Massacre, I'd expect others to make fun of me, too.
And if Janet Jackson's mediocre music blows your mind, then your mind must be easily blown. I mean, if Janet's crap blows your mind, what would you do if you ever heard, say, some classic Miles Davis.
Mini, I'd suggest you avoid Bitch's Brew. I don't think you could handle it.
I never commented on her music as mind-blowing. I commented on her PERFORMANCE as mind-blowing. She's a talented dancer and knows how to make HER fans happy.
Miles Davis? I adore jazz. I know Miles Davis as well as I know my own name. Along with Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Glen Miller...I could go on but that is a different topic.
Again, I see you decide to pass judgement without any evidence for that judgement. I don't think you can handle making a TRUE statement. You've seemed to have proved, fairly well, that you are just another disrespectful imbecile.
Think before you speak, or in this case, write.
Mini, I am chastised and indeed intimidated by your scolding. I will never again dare mock any celebrity without your permission, no matter how bad they beg for it.
Go ahead, make a mockery out of this, IF it's the only way you are able to handle such criticism or correction.
Just show some respect and don't dash for the finish line in the race to demean another without the right nor the evidence to. Don't stoop so low...it's never admired in any one.
Also, don't mock others. Put yourself in their position and think of how it might affect you but be sure to consider how it will affect them as well.
I did cross a line. I should not have labeled you as a "disrespectful imbecile" I take it back. It was unnecessary.
Mini, you're certainly intending to be pretty harsh and disrespectful towards ME. That's cool, but YOU are the one being highly judgmental.
This Superbowl thing was obviously a pre-ordained stunt, and a damned silly one. She DESERVES a little bit of jest at her expense.
I'm just saying, she wouldn't need this dumb contrivance if she had any real SONGS.
Ah, very good Mini. I didn't see #19 till after #20. It's totally cool, anyway. I need a good dressing down from time to time.
I'm glad to have you visiting. Take your shoes off. Sit a spell.
I apologize for crossing lines in such a manner and I had no intention of you receiving my comments in such a fashion.
Innocent until proven otherwise. You can't prove that it was a pre-ordained stunt. I've seen Janet Jackson perform and no performer of her status would pull such a ploy, purposely. But, if she did then shame on her because IF it was a PR stunt then it is a low one.
Yet, can you really say with such certainty that it was? I'm sure you have no true relationship with Janet Jackson nor any real knowledge of her person. Just by her name you state with such absoluteness that it was a PR stunt. You have no basis to your statement, nothing that's as solid as stone. It's like showing the world a clump of wet sand and telling them it will remain solid forever when it will just crumble away once dry.
Look, I'm no fan of her music. Can't say I really follow your mainstream music of today. But, I do have respect for all perfomers, whether I enjoy their music or not, because they obviously have something that others love. They are able to make certain people smile, maybe even more, with their "talent" (I use that term lightly). To be able to do that to such a mass? It's a great thing.
You may not enjoy her songs but there are others out there who evidently do. Humans are all different. Have different tastes, ideas, cultures, etc. That's the beauty of this world. You will never meet someone exactly like another.
BTW, I won't just sit...I am going to bed. Almost 5 a.m. And I've had a thoroughly full day and now night.
This was obviously a PR stunt. She wouldn't have had the cupcake holders in place otherwise.
But think about it folks...this is what we can expect from all 'has-been' female singers.
The order is: they get discovered, spit out a few radio-friendly tunes, (or in an actress case...a mediocre TV sitcom) then go through a number of years of not being on top. Missing the "good ol' days" when labeled as a diva, they all eventually turn to the nude.
Madonna and the fat chick from Wilson Phillips proves this theory.
The bad news is...we still have to wait for Celine Dione to do this.
The good news is...eventually Brittney will be there
What? How could you even spend a minute lamenting over such a crappie stunt? And that Timberlake guy? Why is he still singing again? And why does he get to have all the fun? Poor Janet, just another cheap floozie in a long line of losers. And to think, she actually did have some talent once!
Nice timing on the boob job
The last show the last best the last time we will get to see her in the superbowl? I thought her timing was great and her expressing herself like that was exciting. We need the willing-ness to share these time with us. Her actions were a mouthful. she is sexy
and a product of the world today. The people never say anything when the cheerleaders tit falls out on purpose
what's the big deal if janet's falls.
Oh, I guess it is ok for my daughter to see Britney kiss Madonna. The reason she did Rhythm Nation was to wake people up! Get a life with the double standard crap! I bet some of you fools believe in same sex marriage!
Depends on how old your daughter is.
The reason Janet did Rhythm Nation was to make a buck. There is no social statement involved, and little artistic statement of any kind.
Whoever thought that that halftime show was appropriate must not have small children! I was embarrassed! Not just the titty at the end but all the bumping and grinding during the Janet Jackson/ Justin Timberlake song was ridiculous!
More importantly, does anyone have a link to the video footage?
Hi there,
I just read about the Janet Show. Which I don't understand is that all hell breaks lose over a tit. If I am right, a few months ago you could see people getting killed from within fighter airplanes and helicopters and that was SO COOL. That was also prime time tv. I am from Belgium and for my standards a titty is not so bad compared to seeing impacts of missiles into buildings and so. I would prefer for my kid to see some tits instead of a live war.
Greetings from Belgium,
Bunker
Has anyone thought of this...if this was truly, as MTV put it, "unrehearsed, unplanned, completely unintentional."...then why did Janet apologize? She would have no reason to apologize. She should've been one who was apologized to. Hmmmm.
As stated above, if you really care about the facts of this topic view the close up photos on the drudge report. Her nipple is not covered by a tassel, it is a large nipple piercing, and the material had snaps to be easily removed. The true outrage is not that one nipple or breast was shown, but the constant erroding of family values in this country. Don't buy these albums and don't let your kids buy them if you are offended. Evil is in our TV, just as much as it is in Iraq. Many kids in this country do not grow up with TV's, shame on you for letting them watch it, don't blame the TV station.
i know someone named big red who has BIGGER BOOBS than janet does, he goes to my school!
CBS knew about it, the controlroom knew about it, MTV knew about, even i knew about it. If you want your childeren to grow up savely like little saints, don't watch TV, play monopoly, don't let them goto springbreak ...ever and please move to another country. thank you.
I think that the Superbowl experience includes alot of events.
1. We have grown men trying to tear each other apart for the almight $$$ and a ugly torphy.
2. We have many companies willing to pay 2.3 million dollars (I believe per second) to advertise beer, soda and other items for our well-being.
3. We have NFL cheerleaders shaking things up and spreading team spirit by using every natual and un-natural assets.
3. We have ticket prices so high that the average family will never be able to enjoy the Superbowl experience.
Yet, people want to complain that Janet's and Justin's half-time show performance ruined their and their children's experience are just looking for something to gripe about.
There are many network shows that are pushing the envelope everyday...Shield, Nip N Tuck, NYPD (ugly asses, shower scenes), CSI (graphic crime scene).
The human body yes, can be exploited. However, everytime a body part is exposed on TV the world should not have to stop and defend its morality.
Guess what? Some people are not don't find the breast to be sexy. What about the other parts...Britney's stomach & pubic area, Christina's ass checks, Pink's stomach & hip bones, Beyonce's hour glass figure. So what, folks! Move on.
Sometime we act as though exposing a body part is going to unravel our moral fiber. Instead, we should realize how we respond and judge other will be undoing of our morality.
The network knew who they selected for the half-time show. They even knew what songs were being played because they were in attendance of every practice. Have they every attended a Janet Jackson's concert?. She's known for selecting someone out of the audience to sexually tease. Sexuality is her appeal. Duh?
I myself don't believe that it was an accident. But, I do believe it was a great diverse half-time show.
Next!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey, just finished reading about this..... wow. Does anyone bother to say anything about Justin? I mean, he's ripping the shirt off a woman almost old enough to be his mother, then proving once again that he's a terrible liar when he denies the intention. Let's face it. Janet's always been a shocker when it comes to her shows. This should warrent nothing for her but a glance. And look on the bright side. She's not like her brother! At least Justin's legal.... ;)
I know I'm going to probably get in trouble for that last one, but it's the truth. Janet has never backed down from a publicity stunt in her shows, why should this be any different? If the commercials during half time can show as much as they do, why can't Janet show a little skin?
It's not the nudity I mind as much as the way it was done. A real woman would have smaked him up side the head. But Janet needs the publicity - and now we all know to stay at least an arm's lenght away from Justin. It's just bad manners people, and it's MY decision if my kids see it - no one elses.
Nor do I don't let them watch "live war" on TV. I censor TV, music, everything, particularly violence.
I want my kid's to learn good sportsmanship from the SuperBowl. I want them to respect themselves and other people. Even though it was the SuperBowl, did anyone remember the tribute to the shuttle astronaughts? Or tributes to our solders fighting for our freedom. That's what we should be celebrating - not giving in to Janet & Justin's PR stunt - that was just plain low class.
You people need to get a life,I've seen more skin in a music video,Janet is a very BEAUTIFUL women,and if you were offended....Oh Well :-)
I believe the reason why so many people may be upset is because it was unpredictable. Believe it or not, but many people monitor what their children watch. Of course there are a lot of sexual or nasty shows on tv - but thats what ratings are for. If this show wasn't to be seen by children they should of said so. It does matter what was shown regardless of it being a breast or whatever. Parents should know whats going on. I feel that they need to get harsh on some shows, and people, on regular tv, before all minds of children and our society end up in the gutter - or much worse than it is now. These things only make society worse.
I agree that part of the problem was that this was unexpected, and therefore parents had no idea to turn the channel to protect their kids innocent eyes from JJ's boob. I expected the music to be terrible, knowing that it was Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson (a has been for sure!). I can certainly say her taste in men isn't very good. Jermaine Dupri? and then letting Justin Timberlake feel her boobs? Justin is like a whiney little boy whose voice sounds like it is still changing. His music is pretty retarded, no matter how much he tries to pretend he is a thug. But I guess being a mama's boy-wanna be thug does get you hot (although airheaded) chicks. Just look at Nick Carter and Paris Hilton. She probably likes him b/c he can get good drugs now that he's hanging out with Tommy Lee. Anyhow, the whole Janet Jackson/Justin Timberlake thing was pretty lame. If they actually had good music, they wouldn't have to resort to such cheap PR stunts.
I don't see what the hubbub is all about. She definitely had her nipple covered, so there really is no true nudity. I've seen worse from mothers who whip out a boob to feed their child in the middle of a resteraunt or a mall. There is no true FCC violation here!
I think that the whole thing was sad. A saggy boob from a has been, the age difference, tainting a family show, and the obviously pre-planned stunt. It would have been more acceptable had it been MTV awards or something...but come on..The SUperbowl?! Puleeze!
I dont get the whole "we weren't told" BS. You are OK letting you kids watch guys physically beat and fight each other for a paycheck, a quarter million dollar paycheck at that, but a boob is unacceptable? What the F' is wrong with you?!?!?!
Well I think it is sad that people are harking on a boob so much.
Ok Lets look at football from the reality standards. NFL Football is a bunch of grown men in tight outfits with lots of padding knocking the crap out of each other trying to get a ball to a goal post.
People get seriously injured some even result in permanent disability and death but are we going to stop the sport heck no.
Have you noticed those cute little little barely there hardly any cloth to them left anymore costumes the cheerleaders wear now a days I mean half of them are just glorified bakinis with short short daisy duke like skirt/shorts with plenty of panty shots and butt cheeks hanging out. Do we make them put on more clothes heck no.
You got woman exposing themselves daily, Feeding a child at the store, or mall, Or in a park. We all where exposed to breasts when we where children being fed by our mothers don't make that same part of our body be dirty because it was slightly exposed during a half time game.
Woman wearing bathing suites that conveniently fall off when entering a pool. Necked people shots on various popular TV shows.
The problem is not that her boob was exposed. It is that people of America are ashamed of the natural body. They call it dirty and evil to expose it.
Look at art. How many of the most famous art pictures are of nude men and woman Statues, paintings and the like that you see when you walk into a museum. Do you call it dirty and evil. No. It is admired and found to be beautiful.
People need to quit harping on this whole expose your body and go to hell BS because it is not written in the bible as such.
Her nipple was covered. Maybe the tip was exposed but unless you get a magnifying glass and blow up the picture it is not fully exposed and the women in shampoo commercials and movies with only their hair covering there breast reveal as much if not more than Janet did Yesterday. If you can't explain to you children what just happened then don't watch tv. Your watching a sport with scantly clad cheerleaders and players ready to take each others head off. Get a life people. Because breasts provide it.
Most people could care less about this breast issue by Janet Jackson.
Now the branch of the Federal-Nazis better known as the FCC is investigating. What really makes them mad is that Jackson stole momentary control from them. I like that best.
Ok - This was a PR stunt. She has a beautiful breast. Although in the above picture her face looks a bit haggered.
If you saw her telavised concert from Hawaii then you would know she would stoop this low for PR. cause during this concert she strapped a fan into a contraption on stage and dry humped the hell out of him during on of her most vulgar songs. A song which even her mother was ashamed to listen too.
Yeah, the FCC investigation cracks me up.
In defense of Michael Powell (sort of), I suspect that this is more of a CYA thing. What kind of crap would he get for NOT acting like he's doing something? Think how much GRIEF he got for not raising hell about Bono saying the F word on an awards show last year.
First, I want to know why alot of men that I am aquainted with are getting such a rise (no pun intended) out of Janet Jackson's boob? Have they never seen a boob before? And it's not like it's oversized or overly perky, so what's the attraction? For men to be spending their time at work today on the internet attempting to find the largest, closest photo of Janet's boob, then am I to assume that flashing your boobs is now an accepted behavior? Then, perhaps all the men that couldn't get enough of the boob in question would also be okay with their girlfriends, wives, or significant others to bear their breasts the next time they're at the local bar or club. I think that if this kind of behavior is considered acceptable, then let all those men enjoy seeing their women bare their breasts to a barful of strange men, better yet, maybe they are also okay with seeing their daughters or daughter-in-laws flashing a little titty here and there! Don't tell me that that's not okay; you mean you guys have double standards?!? No way. Obviously, at least with the men I know, it's okay for them to ogle and drool, but for some reason their girlfriends' should cover up. That's a crock, and I think if you want to look, then look at the one you consider your special someone flashing her tit to a bunch of horny guys! What, that's not a turn on?
I dont think its such a big deal that Janet showed her titty. If anything, people are just making a big deal about it because of the whole "michael Jackson" thing.Im sure there has been worse things shown on t.v, so grow up people,its not that big of a deal!!!
Janet & Justin -low class vaudeville - pretty pathetic
I dont see what the problem is..so what..its a boob. the nipple was covered. As for the parent with the six year old to explain things to now..I'm sorry..but I would rather explain a BOOB than have to explain why those two woman are up there kissing like Brittany and Madonna did. I mean let me get through the birds and bees befor I have to explain why some birds kiss birds and some bees kiss bees to my daughters. But then hey...thats my opinion on things....
MTV should sue the shit out of Timberlake and Jackson. They have singlehandedly taken away billions of dollars from MTV if CBS no longer allows them to produce the halftime show!!!
Ok. Forget if it was supposed to happen or not,. Forget that he is half her age. Her boob fell out of her "malfunctioning wardrobe." HELLO??? Anybody see the key word here?..'FELL'? It didn't pop out or come out, it FELL and FELL and FELL out. It dropped about 3-5 inches. She could have touched it without bending her elbow! Was her PR person drunk? Was she? She could have broke her hip when it fell out. Try it 30 years younger when they are a little, no, a lot more perkier.
Let's see...she exposes her tit to the world in order to boost album sales/generate income...can you say whore?
Personally speaking,I prefer to watch
"Girls Gone Wild"........
The showing of Janets breast in my opinion was totally planned and without taste. But, The network made a bigger mistake allowing Timberflake to sing his irresponsible lyrics about getting a girl naked by the end of the song. If a young female is unfortunately attacked by some impressionable young male because of what he heard his teen idol sing then Timberflake should be held totally accountable and lose his entire fortune. There should be alot more censoring of the lyrics and actions on television and cable. I was also totally offended by Miss Nelly trying to find his peanut during the performance. I see absolutely no talent in this creep at all. When is this Rap Crap going to end anyway. Time to protect our youth and send these jerks a message that these kind of irresponible actions will no longer be tolerated.
Why is everyone so upset about a nipple? so what?
oh nooooooo kids saw a nipple!!!!
what's wrong with you people
be proud of the human body, tell the kids that's the place they first got milk from ...lol
I don't see what the big deal is.
it is worse to see all the violence on tv, other countries will show the beautiful human body and it is ok, it is normal, grow up!!!.
It's not just the silver nipple, or bad PR: It's about the lie that says all of this is acceptable. The truth is that people are not going to find their financial success and failure on the american people. They have fallen into the lies of the devil that says get to the top and make your statement anyway you can. It doesn't matter who is in the way, or who gets offended or what gets compromised. You all have commented on her talent and career, why does she feel, or the producers of the haftime show have to compromise?

Does Janet really think that this will draw some of the heat off of her brother Michael's child abuse trial?
I think today's artists have so little talent (such as Timberlake) that this is what they need to do for attention....I am a bit surprised that Janet would do this, but I think she is getting back at CBS for getting rid of Michael who was supposed to perform earlier....I just have a problem with "artists" forcing their morality on us...My 12 year old was flabbergasted.....you may think thats funny but the truth is kids will now get the message that frankly anything goes....there is no respect anymore out there....there isnt any real talent either.....
Justin has his little "oneupping Britney" thing too...so everyone wins...except our kids. Does this mean the man in the rain coat flashing isnt really breaking the law? Because surely CELEBRITIES are not above the law in this country are they????? (ooooh of course not)
I could have cared less if they had done this AFTER 10PM....but it isnt fair to the parents in this country who try to protect their kids from all the crap out there in the world that is ready to change them into "the world revolves around me and the hell with you" type of attitude that this next generation seems to have.
Seems to me the only boobs are the ones complaining about it...
WAKE UP PEOPLE....WOMEN EXPOSING THEIR TITS ON LIVE TV IS THE LEAST WE HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT....WE SEE TITS AND ASS EVERYDAY IN THIS WORLD....WE WHERE BORN NAKED AND EVERYone THINKS OMG I CAN'T BELIVE JUSTIN AND JANET DID THAT BUT YET PARENTS FIGHT AND BEAT EACH OTHER IN FRONT OF KIDS....GO FIGURE THAT ONE....I AM SURE KIDS WILL SEE ALOT WORSE AS THE YEARS GO ON
Gosh, Tonia, I'm sorry to hear that your parents beat each other in front of you, or I'm sorry to hear that you and your hubby beat each other in front of your kids. If the latter, then CUT IT OUT! As for your asserion that "KIDS WILL SEE ALOT WORSE AS THE YEARS GO ON," I, as a father, would rather postpone my son's exposure to the brainless crap that passes for American culture for as long as possible.
Sup?
I demand that more tits should be broad cast on puplic T.V.!
I'm disappointed that the wardrobe malfunctioned and exposed only her right breast. The fact that she and Justin are staring with dismay at the still covered left breast proves that it was planned. I wish she and Justin would have had the guts to stand up to the critics and just say "what's the big deal...chill out already...we have no reason to apolozige."
You should keep your judgements about the Jacksons to yourself
c'mon, they're whippin' out some body parts, cuttin' off othere...and we're supposed ta do what? just sit there and snicker?
Only in America you say! With all the murders,rapes and muggings going on every day in the States and they make this a big deal.When a breast starts shooting people then look out.Wow you Americans are brain washed.Bare breasts are something bad ,but having guns and killing is ok.Yup only in America.
This nation is one that is built on nudity and obscene behavior. Everyday we are all exposed to sex, sexual innuendos, and sexually explicit content in the media. What is the big deal about Janet baring her breast to the world! It is something that many of America's children are exposed on a daily basis. The 3 seconds of fame that Janet Jackson's boobs had is nothing compared to the amount of time that our youth is exposed to drugs, sex, and violence. We allow our children to watch rated R movies and play video games where the goal is to KILL and SHOOT other people. Instead of focusing on a breast, the FCC should focus on more important things. Stop trying to make an example out of Janet and try fixing other obscenities on television!
TIT TIT TIT. I didnt see it till I saw it on The Drudge and I have to say that it is a nice tit on a fine looking African American babe. I would love to meet the plastic surgeon who did her breast and shake that mans hand. Why?? Because if he did not do her breast then that Super Bowl would have soooooooooo boring. Justin Timberlake??? He is a fag who cross dresses on the weekends and looks for sheep in the country side. He will probably end up living with with Scott Baio with in the year. Who knows and who cares?? I heard Vivid Video was going to offer Janet a contract, after this stunt she will need the work. LOL
shes a stupid ho
IF BRITNEY SPEARS CAN SHOW HER BREAST IN HER VEDIO TOXIC THEN WHY CAN'T JANET? IF I CAN RECALL BRITNEY ONLY HAD TWO COVERS ON HER BREAST AND THE REST WERE GLUED ON DIAMONDS... I THINK PEOPLE ARE IMMATURE FOR MAKING SUCH A BIG DEAL JUST BECAUSE JANET JACKSON AND JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE DID IT... MORE POWER TO THEM!
I second the commitee
The problem is not about breasts being shown on tv. If this was the mtv award show, nobody would have cared. This is the superbowl. It is about respect for the average American family that tries to protect their children from lewd behavior present in society today. If Britney Madonna kissed in the super bowl, they would have got the same response.
About respect for the average American family? Give me a bloody break!It was a breast for christ sakes,a womans breast,you know what your kid sucked on for 2 years.Have you ever taken your kid to the zoo,hope they didn't see the elephants dick,especially if he comes from an average American family.Go back to church you wingnut!
Perhaps part of the problem here stems from so many people not breastfeeding their babies these days.
I live in the UK and don't know what you have to rant about....every time I use the internet I get bombarded by porn publicity - most of which comes from the USA (publicity I don't want I must add!). Instead of passing a law regarding boobs on TV you should clean up your Internet Sites first!!!!
Nice Tit.
Did any of you idiots actually watch the Super Bowl or just the half time show? It was a damn good game.
The only idiot I see is a Cowboys supporter.
For crying out loud. What is the big deal? So Jackson wanted to flash, so what? That not sleazy, that's business. She wanted publicity and she got it. Nobody is talking about anything else. Since when did the Super Bowl become a big "cultural" event anyway? Related parties are notoriously low brow, that's supposed to be part of the fun. At least the MTV crowd added a little spice and color to what is usually a bland, uninteresting and dull show. I'm not even a sports fan but did tune in because I like MTV and the scheduled stars. I sure won't bother again if they go back to the usual snoringly bad fare next year. For the record, I am not the usual young MTV fan blindly defending Jackson and the show against stuffy critics, but am a 58-year old former hippie wondering what in the hell has happened to the outrage against censorship in this country and when will people wake up and realize that no one will die if a girl bares her breast on network television. Television is not just for families or children. Adults don't want to see shows reduced to a level aimed only at the ten-year old viewer. Any kid who has breastfed has seen a bare breast, anyway, so it is unlikely a kid who sees one on television will be ruined for life. Explaining them should be simple. Breasts are a normal part of a woman's body. End of explanation.
This entire page is completely amazing. Out of 84 posts, except for Susan directly above, and a couple others, no one knows anything about the English language. I cannot believe that such a large number of illiterate people either own, or have access to, computers.
I live in Europe and I agree that it is just a boob. It is not the image of "a boob" that is the problem. It is the sexual context in which it was displayed. When she flashed it in the midst of hip shakin ,moaning, body sweatin jyrations , I don't think it was for the use of milk for a baby. The U.S is so corrupted that everything always comes back to sex, violence , selfishness, materialism. Its all people care about . There are very few people who even try to be pure and save sexual images for the bedroom between two people who actually LOVE eachother. Why do you think we are so hated? (I am American) Because we are way too "open minded" when it comes to sex, violence etc. OOO hh I know I have really made some people mad , and you are the ones who I am talking to.
Since when is the Super Bowl a family event? Does it also mean that they'll stop allowing people to bet on it. Lose or make fortunes on it? Most kids see this kind of shit at home. Who gives a good goddamn? It's just a tit...everyone sees them at least once in their life.
I think you people have to much time on your hands, it's so dumb to hear what the world is so angry over a boob. Is Micheal Powell or just money and power hungry. While the pigs gather around trying take money away. Man walk around everyday exposing their breast and nobody does anything. That's just plan sexist. We are not tolerant just ignorant.
Hey the only thing I have to say is who has not seen this type of cheap stunt before like sooooo many others before me has said this was a cheap PR stunt. Her last album sucked and this one will too. How do you go from being spiritual and soooo called enlightened as in the album the velvet rope to being a cheap sluty stunt puller trying to compete with little stunts like britany & co??
Go out and bow down while the getting is good. HAve a little respect for yourself, Get a grip on the fact that your time is over. You played yourself just like Toni Braxton did and guess what she sold three extra albums for exposing herself in vibe mag. Was it worth it?
that's my little comment to "Miss Jackson if ya nastee"
All I have to say is you can tell who the parents are on this list, the ones with the weight of responsibility....doesnt make us prudes or ashamed of the human body, just responsible for the adults of tomorrow.
I'm very disapointed they chose to do this during a true family tradition.
I really thought Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake had more class.
why even say anything about it, big deal.....the previous 90 or so comments were written by people who need to get a life..oh oh....looks like I need a life too
Has anyone asked the question of why we have an extended half-time show on TV in the first place? Oh, ratings, that's right. It' stoopid. They should just have a marching band do a typical half-time show and let everyone hang around their tv for the commercials. It's so overblown, whether the content is "clean" or not, that it's ridiculous. What a waste of time and money.
All the tit and ass on regular programming day to day and the FCC want's to investigate Janet's breast....another waste of taxpayer's money...not to mention major hypocrisy!!!!!!!
What a bunch of jeolous lame asses!!!Have we not seen titties on national tv before? Granted..it is not ideal viewing for kids..but unless you had your eyes glued to the tv, a half inch away, you really didnt see anything at all!. In that fraction of a glimpse, it appeared as if her nipple was covered anyway. We better realize that there are far worse things to bitch about! Check yourself and ask..why am I really upset?Because this black woman has more money and nicer tits than you will EVER have!!!End of story!
You know people are so judemental about other people before they even know the truth. Ok maybe it wasn't right but it could have been an accident and who cares if it wasn't? Stop using kids saying this will affect them. Bull!!!!! Have you heard the way the kids talk nowadays>infront of thier parents.??? They act out more than this. Parents do you know really what your child is wearing to school? Even the elemlentary kids dress revealing and now you are afraid you child saw Janet Jackson"s Breast!!!!!! Heaven Forbid..... Don 't worry they can sue her 30yrs from now saying it caused them problems. People>>>>>WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!! If you taught your child right they will realize it is not a big deal and this will not scare them unless you as a parents tells them it will....get a grip and start discipline at home and quit blaming everything that happens on someone else except YOU!!!!! Oh My I saw her breast and big DEAL>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>get over it and move on> More things to life than seeing boobs. Check your kids songs out You buy them the nasty songs but don't want them to see anything... YEAH RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
janet has a damn fine tit for being damn near 50 and i would like to see more tits on tha half time shows of tha super bowl...cuz like football....tits r good
What's next for Janet, Medicare? She is only 37, she was born May 16, 1966. Shanie Twain is a year older, Faith Hill a year younger - are they senior citizens too?
boy when you read these comments everyone SOUNDS SO ANGRY....hmmmmm...maybe we should all turn off the tv's and love our families but mostly ourselves....everyone here that keeps "shouting" about the violence and guns, I sure hope you dont own one, cuz you all sound pretty friggin scary....
YOUR RIGHT lets turn America into Amsterdam, but frankly I dont think the selfish kiddies of today could handle that kind of freedom.
oh and Jim Bob #98, I know you think Janet has a fine tit, but its actually a purchased one...so you should go for the real ones.....LOL...they are finer.
Double standard. Hardly a scandal while the real scandal is US soldiers got slaughered in Iraq because of lies. How many of you saw Brazilian Carnival with women dancers exposing their breast?
"Breasts are perfectly natural." Guess, what you idots. So are male and female genitalia. So is the act of intercourse. However, I don't want to see it on TV. You damn liberals need to think anything anybody wants to do is OK. Just because other problems exist in the world like drugs and violence doesn't lessen the severity of nudity. Quit living such a hedonistic-eat, drink and be merry lifestyle. You're desensitizing the world. I feel sorry for you liberals. You have no morals. Must make you feel like crap. Instead of attacking people who don't want their kids confronted with your particular brand of perversion, try sitting down and reading a bible. Try to learn that Europe is not the measuring stick for morality. God is.
I agree with the guy who brought up miles davis. Now jazz is music-it's so good it doesn't need cheap crappy costumes that rip open at the obviously intentional pull of an ambiguously homosexual pop singer's (and a poor one at that) hand. Give me some John Coltrane any day.
Sorry but I have to post again because I just read alot more posts. You who blame the President for sending soldiers, oh wait-I forgot they're "kids" not highly trained professional military personel-or at least that's what alot of you under-educated people seem to think. Nobody who's served in the military-particularily those who serve in battle would wish you to discredit the president, the war, or even the cause of war. Acknowledge there sacriifice. Many people have died so that you little sissy's can sit back and whine about how terrible your circumstances are. What do YOU do that's so great? Furthermore what's so great about a set of jugs that makes you want to see them on TV? afterall if you see them all the time anyway then keep it to yourselves and don't put the successive generation in position to be worse off than you are. It's okay-people get killed all the time....yeh so does that make robbery okay? no. Is wrong wrong and right right? yes. It's as simple as that. Twisted morons think you got something but all you do is lead yourselves and others to a worse place.
Well now ... let me see ...
This "quarter-assed stunt" that wasn't even significant enough to be a half-assed stunt, was apparently significant enough to have the "superior bloggers" of blogcritics.org rant about it.
Who's looking the bigger fool? *LOL*
OK - so Janet has a tit - big deal. It was even covered up more than most bikinis at Venice Beach are ever able to, and I believe those are quite fine to show on TV.
And whoever cares that Kid Rock's bus was busted for drugs, that Sean "P.Diddy/Puff Daddy" Coombs had to make a slippery settlement out of court to avoid doing time for pulling a gun at the general public, or that almost every lyric Nelly ever does is about drugs or prostitution.
Sure - that's not a problem. But Janet displaying a semi-naked breast, not unlike the breasts every single female has twice as many of, not THAT is a disgrace.
You people make me laugh ... seriously.
What do you think your 16-year old daughters are doing on their weekends?
Land of the "free" ... Home of the "brave" ... but not much different from the segregating, disrespectful, chauvinistic world of fanatical muslim nations, is it?
Oh well ... hypocrisy is a fine trait.
Dane, I am impressed with your self-righteous posturing. I am now shamed, and will change my opinion. I now think this was a classy and artistically significant social statement from Ms Jackson.
Yes, I've written two different columns related to this topic, and will probably have one or two more on the surrounding phenomenon. This is a topic of great interest to the public. They want to read about it, so I'll rack my brain a bit looking for anything interesting I might have to say about it.
I want people to come check out my stuff. I am a whore.
Now, will Janet admit same?
Who cares about the br_ _ _t?Even though it is a big chat to talk about,she'll lose her wholoe reputation.Let's just forget about it.All right?
Artistically speaking, she didn't have much of a reputation to start with. The whole point of her stunt was to make a big impression and get people talking about her, so I'm not real interested in hearing people bitch that we're making too much of it. It's what she wanted. It's what she's got. I'm just happy to oblige her.
And as for Al Barger's 16 year old daughter, I'm pimping her out, so hands off euro-skank. And Al, you're late in your payments, don't make me come over there.
This whole Jackson thing is just a marketing malfunction, thought since she does have an album coming out (so to speak) soon, is purely a co-inky-dink.
Now you want to see a pair of tits? Just turn on your teevee news show.
Or really do something to support tits.
Has anyone figured out why she did it!?
TO GET THE BAD/NEGATIVE ATTENTION AWAY FROM HER BROTHER!!! lol
A couple of comments: Janet Jackson is a beautiful and talented individual. The human body is beautiful, and breasts aren't sexual organs. Men have them as well and show them with no repercussions, and theirs don't even serve any purpose.
Lastly, there was a derrogatory comment made way up on this litany that wasn't touched on again about supporting same sex marriage... why, yes, I do. As does my same sex spouse. Oh my, there goes the moral fiber of the world, straying from the judeo christian roles that 'the right wing' have tried so bloodily for centuries to force on us all and obliterate the Goddess. I find it amusing to read the moral and intellectual ineptitude of those so afraid of anything that doesn't kill someone or something different from what they believe is right. Freedom means more than having the biggest bomb and bullying everyone into believing your way and marching to your drum.
Try a little peace, compassion, and equality. It'll help your blood pressure level out.
Alright people. I'm only 18 years of age..but even I see a problem w/ being able to view Janet's tit on national tv. Honestly, what is this world coming to? People just don't give a flyin f*ck anymore. I don't think any lil' kid would have flipped out about seeing it, but its just the fact that it is wrong for people to do shit like that on a "family channel"..*as you might call it..* I'm no goody-goody. So don't think that I'm just a proper lil' girl or something. Whether you believe in God or not..you might wanna start believing in evil, cuz its all around us.
Aca en Puerto Rico estamos necesitados de ver unas buenas tetas como esas. Por lo que sugerimos que en el Super Bowl del proximo aņo no tan solo sea Janet si no todas las integrantes del medio tiempo. Ademas, no solo debe ser una teta si no las dos e incluso el chocho.
Gracias por su atencion y los dejo por que me tengo que ir a masturbar...
Carli
i think that janet and justin dont even look good together man!!!!!!!!
That is my oppinion
When I was a kid, I figured that the boundaries would be pushed so far by now that performers would be completely nude - even on live television. Progress is painfully slow.
poor americans.... u always make big story of nothing.... poor bigots
Have you guys ever seen what they show on television in Europe? Just speaking from my experience in Italy, a celebrity's bare breast wouldn't even elicit a raised eyebrow.
Only because she is black you are making a lot of fuss about her tit. I donīt remember so much criticizing of the two bitches kiss (Madonna and Britney). I think that was more lascive and pornographic than the tit of that poor woman. I even think it was an accident because the red part was supposed to stay in place.
Big whoopdy doo. It was a little nipple. I really don't get what the big deal is about this. The Super Bowl is one of the biggest events there is. So there is going to be something big. Janet is a beautiful women and should be able to flaunt what she has. And really it isn't as big of deal as everyone is making it. You see pretty much the whole breast in dresses now a days anyway. So some people need to get over it.
I think most of you miss the point - it's not so much about an exposed breast, but how it all came off (pun intended). I don't want my daughter or son thinking it's ok to rip a woman's clothes off like that. It is not to far off from forced sex, rape, etc. Where do you think many (not all of course) of our youth get the idea that that sort of behavior is ok in the real world. P.S.: I'm neither a Quaker or a prude.
It's just a tit.
I don't like that shield doohicky though.
i really think yanks are making wayyyyy too much fuss about this. This seriously is crap. She showed her breast so what? CBS shows pronographic movies everynight and once a weekend. And in Europe sex appeal and sexual content in TV is like an everyday thing. Trust me i would know. You yanks think us brits are all snobby and posh...but hey here is a perfect example of the simplicity of yanks and their stupidity. Seriously i mean you get these fit cheer leaders with mini skirts and huge breasts, yet when they show a celebrites breast is like the world is on fire, and it has actually over done your terrorist attacks on your country which just shows how simple and lame yanks really are..... geez dont surprise me a single bit, i also think this ******* has gone hard on her because she is black...i mean what happened to Martin Luther king day and all the equality bull**** which just shows the stupidy in yanks.
Wonderful to see the "moral outrage".
Morals? What about alcoholism, booze, same-sex marriages, violence and other forms of nudity on TV? Freedom? Freedom does not mean being wanton. Before the puritans start flaming me, check whether if you are hypocrites. If you're really concerned about morality, you'd have done a lot about the moral death in the country by now even without the breast exposure. So cut the act. Many have seen better.
As for protecting the kids, please. Not that we should purposefully expose them to such trash, but hiding is not the solution. Better to educate them early, rather then to deprive them of a proper understanding by keeping things under wraps. The kids deserve it. Parents owe this to them. Let this be a good opportunity to teach them about what NOT to do and WHY rather than to condemn outright.
By the way, I respect homosexuals as humans, though I have no taste for any form of gayness. Biologically, the human body was not designed for same sex unions, even if we don't talk about morals. Gay activists, please don't flame me on this. I don't despise you, just don't agree. If you want to claim that there is no absolutes barring a homosexual union you can consider being a paedophile as well.
This is like watching that damn American CNN program.They drag it out,over and over and over.Bring in 5000 different lawyers to over analyze the situation,because they didn't hear it enough.What a bunch of bible pushers you are in America,oh my goodness ,we will be struck down for seeing what is the most natural thing to a human,their body or any part of it.You bible pushers are so prudent and narrow minded, its ridiculous.Oh and brainwashed.It must have been real hard on you bible thumpers,having to hide your kids from that deadly boob,what would you say,.."The lord will strike you where you sit if you look at that dreadful thing" Then off to home and later that night you rip your old ladies top off and set your bible thumping lips right on her big erect nipple!
JTY: rot in hell you disgusting bastard. I can't stand people like you who claim to be "good little Christians" pretending to be perfect, when you're just disgusting sinners like everyone else. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. If you thing your bigoted bitch ass is getting anywhere NEAR heaven, then think again.
Sigh. Another senseless flamer. First, I never said I was a Christian. Second, I never said anything about myself being perfect. As a personal plea, please stop your senseless flames. I may laugh to death. Then again, I may want to read more mail from you purely from amusement's sake. Man, you're way about Janet Jackson. She has much to learn from you
I solemnly accept the judgment that you've passed on me that I'm nowhere near heaven. It seems like dogs and bitches are able to enter heaven as well! Thanks for the enlightenment. And yes, Reality Check, how did you know I am a bitch? Wuff! Wuff! My fellow bitches I can most certainly learn a lot from you. We lower life forms would love to enter heaven too, but then, since you're the judge, we'll never get there unless we learn from you. The Master knows the way, as always
Last one from me for now, Reality Check. If you say everyone is a sinner, what bloody right do you have to condemn JJ for her breast exposure? Before someone picks your flames apart, please don't make yourself a laughing stock
Does anybody know where I can find a picture of Janet's left breast. It's all I can think about...I need to see that tit.
Justin is such a dildo!! He's now saying how disgusted and offended and shocked he was at Janet's stunt. But immediately after the show he was interviewed and he was laughing and saying it was fun and how he enjoyed giving everybody something to talk about. Any JT fans out there, your boy is a big time loser!!
There were some earlier comments about the hostility toward Janet being racially motivated. Rather than accuse the accusers, I would ask why have CBS, MTV, and Justin hung Janet out to dry while they pretend that they were betrayed by her. I can see in Janet's face how much pain those shit heads have caused her. Now CBS has barred her from the Grammies. That's the real outrage in this circus.
To the Brit:
We Yanks don't need for you Limeys and other arrogant Europeans criticizing us for having different values and viewpoints than you. If something happens in our country which we find worthy of our attention, then just let us be. Personally, I find the royal family to be a huge yawn, but I don't disdain your tabloids or the British subjects for being completely and inexplicably obsessed.
Its about time Janet had a huge Public appearance..
America relax. It was only a tit and the nipple was covered. We need to worry about that wreckless idiot in the White House.
I don't know what seems to be the problem here. People who talk bad about janet's boob showing on national T.V. seems like their just hatin'. You just wish it was your's!
This is why God is the judge. We all suck.
This is why God is the judge. We all suck.
I am right and you are wrong bla bla bla
I'm Catholic, old man, but I like it.
Better, then be killed somewhere.
All the best AMERICA.

HOW in the world did a boob become political fodder? For God's sake...I just love when other countries bash the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA but the truth is you all need US....and as far as the comment about the 'wreckless idiot in the White House', I am proud to be aggressive towards the middle east...THEY are wreckless....seems Sept 11th is forgotten, and I thank GOD that fool Gore was not put in the white house to deal with it....If Clinton had properly dealt with the terrorism in '93, (ie: cut communications, cut funding, and especially NOT selling weapons) perhaps the towers would have never come down....so who's wreckless????
And to get back on suject, I think it is completely wrong to ban Janet and not that whiny, little rich boy, who always gets his way....I hope he gets boo'd off the stage when he show's his stupid face.
What's amazing to me is this isn't beyond Janet. Am I the only one who owns a DVD of her concert? The strip tease is well within the means of Janet's boundary. TEASE - keyword here. She definitely didn't mean to expose the entire breast. It was shock tactic that went horribly wrong.
BTW If anyone really believes MTV didnt know or coerce her into doing it, well zip me up and call me lefty. =)
If you want to see more pictures of Janet, go to http://www.absolutenow.com/music/artists/janet_jackson/links.html
I missed the whole thing.
But from what I hear. it was a
cheap shot.
Look, this was a publicity stunt. People thought that Madonna was ending her career when she released the book 'Sex.' Look at Madonna now. This is just a long line of publicity stunts in the history of the business. Don't believe me? Think this is going to ruin Janet? Read more about Publicity Stunts in this article I posted at Confession: Struggling Screen Actor. There's also a link from the article to a small animated video of the whole Super Bowl incident for those of you who waren't sure if it was staged or not (however, Janet has already admitted that it was staged).
Once again the problem with the stunt was that it was aired on a family event. The preformers shouldn't have focused so much on "sex" but "good" entertainment. Ratings are given for other shows aired on networks so if it is a nasty or a dirty show parents will know. Of course the human body is a beautiful thing, when shown in an artistic way and not an exotict way. Im reading people say that it was art at what the two of them did. Nothing of their performance was art but pure lust. The reason why there is so much controversy on this issue is because they showed errotic behavior in front of children which is something that parents fight to keep there children from seeing. Of course art galleries have nude pictures, but it isn't of pure lust and x rated scenes - like that of porn or something. Don't compare this event to a mother breast feeding there is a big difference! Once again people thats what ratings are for.
purple you soft hearted bitch stfu! all of you stfu! i think you are all making a big deal out of nothing! this is just totally great let her show her breast shit... you guys wished you had those sexy juicy warm breasts...and BTW it hink you are all old women who had 4 kids and are fat white women! stfu and dont hate!!
I am totally OUTRAGED by the way you people continue to use the words "tit" and "boob" to refer to part of the female anatomy. Please refrain from using these demeaning terms, and call them what God intended them to be called --- "hooters." Thank you. ("Jugs" is OK, too...uh...thanks again...)
I would offer "rack," but that would imply the full set - "half-rack" seems too unwieldy and is also too reminiscent of Tony Roma's.
Janet Jackson's boob did not bring about the end of the world anymore than me showing some neighbor kids my testicles! Only difference is that I would be in jail bout now...........So much for free speech, art, humanity, or whatever else you want to call it!
I guess "free speech" "art" and a bit of "humanity" can only be applied to some and not others!
Would it be the end of the world if Janet went to jail.....just like you or I would?
You god damn Americans,its a fuckin tit,a piece of blubber with a nipple on it.Big god damn deal.You teach your kids that when they see two dogs screwing that its natural,but when you see a womans tit,its immoral and dirty,or filthy sex.You yanks are so god damn hipocritical and stupid its a joke.All over a fuckin tit,what a joke your country is.
Its gettin' hot in hurr..
Titty! titty! titty!...way to go gurl. Why shud a sista go to jail for showin' the world a bit ov flesh??..Its cool. Let the poor lady be, and screw the rest of y'all
Stunned....does that mean I can show my nuts to your kids coming out of school? We have laws here....don't worry about it.....I'm sure your country has enough problems of their own!
When American's can decide what is right or wrong for you and your fellow countrymen....you can have a voice regarding our laws! K
And Brava.....she should'nt go to jail ....anymore than i should by whipping out my bag in front of one of your little sista's face! lol
It was an accident--why? Her nipple was showing on national network Television for goodness sake. Viacom owns MTV, BET, and several other media outlets that represent a significant portion of her audience. DO you REALLY believe she would willing piss them off when she has a new album on it's way? Janet Jackson didn't stay in the business this long for nothing. She's no idiot, even if the rest of us are. She's never flashed her tities before, but when Britany Speaks flashes her butcheeks on Stuff or Maxim mag, it's no big deal right? Newsflash-- your children are more likely to buy Spears' next album rather than Janet's.
And the Superbowl--A Family show? For whom--The Mansons? Some of you parents need to come down of your moral high horse. Afterall, you are permitting your kids to watch a violent sport and delusionally refer to it as 'wholesome family entertainment' in the same breath. Nothing brings a family closer together than the sound of necks breaking, blood spurting, and shoulders popping out of sockets I guess.
WAKE UP AND GET OVER THIS. An episode of CSI could be considered tamer by the Superbowl's standards, and half of you let your children watch that too. You can't turn on the TV today and not expect your child to be influenced in someway, no matter what programming is on. Seriously watch a half hour of the Justice League, or Sponge Bob, and you'll know where your real problem lies. That's the stuff you need to worry about. We live in the MTV generation-- so Janet Jackson's titty is not going to make your child a sociopath. Chances are, it's that Blink 182 video that will earn him or her that distinction. Besides, Andy Sipowitz flashes his ass on NYPD Blue every week, and no one cries foul on that one. Though I really wish some of you would. Eww...
>>Nothing brings a family closer together than the sound of necks breaking, blood spurting, and shoulders popping out of sockets I guess<<
I admit football can be quite a rough sport but......WoW missp! What game were you watching! How many died? ARe you sure this was a football game you are describing.....
The moral high horse you speak of.....may not actually be high at all! Relatively speaking......anything above ground level could be seen as such!
People will get over it!
Just seems that there is a double standard regarding the law....that's all!
It kinda seems unfair to send a common person to jail for the same stuff....ya know?
Yet, I am also kinda glad that common people can get in some legal headaches for showing themselves to kids....at school, or in the park or whatever!
I don't want to hang them or cry out "HELP , THE SKY IS FALLING"! Like some assert.....I just want fairness and to live in a society where parents do not have to worry about other people deciding for their children when the appropriate time is for a child to be exposed to total strangers boobs, testicles, penises and such! I want that to remain in a parent's control! Yet you have no problem deciding that kids other than your own....should not be watching football in the first place!
It is your right to decide that for your OWN KIDS! What happened here was NO ONE HAD A CHOICE! People are saying "If you were watching football and did'nt expect some nudity....tough shit...Get over it! Nice....
I assure you.....if football becomes anything remotely like you described....I will ask the broadcaster to at least give some previous warning about it! I can't believe I even had to say this......lol! Respect anyone....
Relax....take a deep breath....find a happy place!
Stunned....who said it was dirty or immoral?
That is not the issue! Doh...
Read previous obviousness...lol
Was it necessary to hide her nipples by coyly placing a star? I mean when u gotta show, just show...dont do half measures. In any case, the whole thing is laughable....hardly worth anyone's time
Yes or No:
Is it OK for people to now expose themselves publicly to whomever even if the other person objects and without consent?
Should we all be able to do so?
Should our Indecent Exposure Laws be removed?
Amended....to say what?
Anyone afraid to answer these?
Anyone afraid of the answers? lol yikes
Am I afraid to ask? That would be affirmative...
Moral "HIGH HORSE" measurement commences...........
omg, what a bunch of jackasses. it's embarassing to be an "american".
the TIT was artistic, within the context of the song/performance, and if there were any parents out there with half a brain, they would explain that to their kids. they are supposed to teach them about the world, not shelter them from it. the morons on this posting who think it sends some kind of message for everyone to expose themself whenever and wherever are insufferable.
leave janet`s boob alone. All these ole grannies that are complainin here wish they had summin like dat instead of they wrinkly shit.so stfu and peace out to all the dawgs who feel me YO.
Hey simpleton......keep in mind...You are American by choice!
"they are supposed to teach them about the world, not shelter them from it. the morons on this posting who think it sends some kind of message for everyone to expose themself whenever and wherever are insufferable."
Thanks for the parental advice and words of "wisdom"!
Apparently only "artists" can do it! Whatever that is? I think artistic expression should be available to all.
I am not surprised that simple avoided that question entirely. He would have to say it is ok for Janet but not for others in order to look like he had any sense! By doing so, he only further promotes inequality in society.
Seems the high horse is not at all high.
Oh well, best wishes.
What is insufferable are people who point out the moral decay in society and by doing so expose those who suffer from it!
If i say that this was wrong or immoral in any way I am told to shut up and take that shit to church with you.
But, if I say it was only a tit and apart of nature I am welcomed and embraced by the world!
Just as Jesus has faced the rejection of "the world," so will his followers (15:18-24). The world will treat the disciples of Jesus with such hostility because the world does not know the Father (15:21). Jesus has made the world aware of its sinful rebellion against God, and those who are part of that world refuse to accept the truth (15:22-24). In addition, Jesus has chosen his disciples out of that world system, so they no longer belong to it (15:19).
The reality of the world's hostility calls for disciples to live faithfully, despite the opposition. Jesus alerts his followers to this truth so they will not be led astray (16:1). He does not guarantee immunity from the world's opposition. In fact, he promises such hostility will come. However, he assures his disciples the world's opposition has not defeated him and will not defeat them, either. He affirms, "In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world" (16:33).
Surgeon, you are correct!
Watch the responses carefully to this....they will only further prove this to be true!
Has anyone forgotten about Lil Kim's outfit at (i think) the VMA's or something like that a while back? Her little starfish on the breast thing? Yea, that was worse because that was all she had for the ENTIRE night, so....
I only had to bring up Lil Kim because everyone acts like Janet's stunt is the end of the world and all of the children who saw it are traumatized. Little Timmy will just have to learn about sex ed (and body piercings, and anatomy) a bit early, big damned deal. Plus, any parent who knows the least about the Superbowl knows that the halftime show will ALWAYS be quite risque. Whether people enjoy it or not, these types of shows are going to get worse and worse in how revealing they are. Those who don't like it should just not watch it and not let their kids watch it. Seriously, let other people have their sick fun instead of trying to turn our society back in time to the days when a bare arm was inappropriate.
whatever! get over it already!!!!!!
I missed the half-time show cause I was watching the Cheerleader Slumber Party Pillow Fight half-time show on FOX.
>>Seriously, let other people have their sick fun instead of trying to turn our society back in time to the days when a bare arm was inappropriate.<<
"if" we don't allow this we will "then" be turning back time?
Would that be like saying "if" we do allow it we will "then" someday we will have a society where nothing is inappropriate, Just in reverse?
Slippery Slope Argument: A slippery slope argument is an argument that carries the conclusion to the point of ridiculousness by a series of absurd consequences. Slippery slope misuses the conditional operator "if . . . then".
Tip: When confronted with an "if . . . then" operator identify the outcome of the series of consequences and make sure it is a logical outcome of the proposition being argued against. If not, then show that the outcome need not be a consequence of the assertion being argued against.
America going to Iraq is not the end of the world! George Bush being President has not brought about the end the world either! Can you think of anything else that has not brought the end about? lol
I love logic!
Many things do not bring about the end of the world! That does not prevent people from speaking out against it. Does it?
get over telling others to get over it!?
We have better things to worry about! Remember?
Janet Jacksons booby
The first thing that came to mind about Janet's lame-o stunt was how cruel Father Time had been to her. I've seen many good looking 38+ year old women with bodies to rival those 10 to 15 years younger . . . Janet ain't one of them.
all people are acting like they have never seen tits in their life. Just relax and go on people. big deal!!!!
Just one thing to add. Parents who use their children as excuses should be shot. Plus, the world is not going to get any better I 100 percent gaurantee that. If you want to protect your children from "immoral acts" then i hope you have a bomb shelter with a lock on the door. That will be the only way to "protect" them from this worlds "evilness" LOL. You people make me sick. You try to "over-protect" your children and in the long run they will suffer from it and be a lot worse off trust me I see it happen all the time. Also, the violence and guns and war issues? Wake up people I gaurantee 100 percent that that part of the world will never change for the better either trust me. This is all just the beginning of the world going to the crapper and there is NOT anything anyone will be able to do about it so get over your crying about it cause no one wants to hear it AND it won't stop any of the "evil" from coming. P.S. All the bible thumpers out there should remember one thing "We were never given the right to judge ANYBODY and we will never have that right!" That is for GOD himself and he will never give that right to us so stop doing it.
OMG. I hate reading comments from people who are concerned about their kids.
Daily news of murder, death, war, killings, theft, drugs. People are dying in big numbers, many starve to death because they have no food.
And you are concerned about a tit? How do you teach that to your kids? Don't they ever see momy naked? What kind of values do you teach?
Nakedness is bad? Nipples are deadly? But USA on war is fine? Military is cool?
USA, land of the free? I tell you what: Teach your children to have sex (at the right age, to prevent any misundrestandings here!!!), that sex is great, helps relieve stress, is a natural thing. Look at the porn web sites of pseudo reality, twisted minds of so called teens ... don't you see that all this has something to do with the values you teach your children?
Your country should think about the society it is creating when showing precise missile attacks on buildings as if it was a video game but rant about a nipple slip ...
Think, think , think, think, think, think, think.
THINK!
First off, there was nothing "titilating" or "sexy" about Janet Jackson's sagging tit . . . The only things offended are my eyes.
Somebody said something about Janet's "should-never-be-shown-to-the-public-without-being-forewarned" tit being purchased ... If that's the case, the woman needs to demand a refund or better yet take the people she purchased her tit from to court, cuz she got ripped off big time!
It's not nudity that I'm hung up on, its the TYPE of people who engage in public nudity . . . in situations where nudity is allowed, the first people to take their clothes off are the ones who NEED to KEEP THEM ON! If I have a big sagging gut and have the muscle tone of a beetle grub, you can best believe I won't be strutting up and down the beach with a pair of speedos!
Back to Janet . . . Janet looks like Michael after a sex change operation. I guess this little hullabaloo will breathe some life (although ephemeral) into her pretty much dead career.
Janet Jackson has been around for thirty years and she still looks better than Brit(ho)ney, Mad(old)onna, J. Ho and Christina Ho-ga-dirty-lera. I will be buying four copies of the single and four copies of the cd, one for my scrap book, one to play, one I will never open and one for a friend. People like me will make sure she debuts at number one. Peace.
I love how some people think they can tell me what is appropriate for my kids!
Do you think any of these people give a rat's ass about my kids...or anyone else's?
Nope! Use your "insightful knowledge" on your own kids thanks! If you don't like the idea of total strangers telling you or your kids between "right" or "wrong" ...... keep it to yourself as well!
Quit cryig over a tit. This is a body part that is commonly seen by children in other countries. This is far from corrupting the youth. 90% of the stuff kids learn is either at home with their hypocritical parents(that means you with your weed and secret porn stash that's not so secret. I wish eveyone would make this much out-cry against every child molesting priest and pervert. That far out weighs this petty whining that you (Beaver Cleaver)mothers are doing Janet Jackson. Get off of your damn moral pedastal and do something to really help our children you cowards! If you focused this much on these sick child molesters and killers maybe that innocent girl in Sarasota FL would still be running around laughing. Do something real!!!
janet couldn't stand her brother getting all the hype right now... i think justin was as much to blame. enough said.
>>If you focused this much on these sick child molesters and killers maybe that innocent girl in Sarasota FL would still be running around laughing. Do something real!!!<<
.......like you?
>>90% of the stuff kids learn is either at home with their hypocritical parents(that means you with your weed and secret porn stash that's not so secret.<<
........were you referring to yourself or your own parents....or both?
....so sad
I know this may seem like an unbelievable, fantastic claim but, not ALL parents have secret stashes of porn and pot!



I just got back from the bowl - I was on the sideline. I guess the networks cut it out, but after Janet's breast was exposed she tore the other breast covering off, got on all fours, and moo'd like a cow.
What a great show...
