    We deserve much better than that cheap a$$ halftime show! Janet should go make a soft porn Opera and leave halftime to ENTERTAINERS, and I dont mean Jessica, Puffy , Nelly or K. ROck.

    Thor that might have been "it" it was in that era. Dunno I wasnt around then, as I'm only 25. But I did in fact see the full run of the shots fired scene in my ...get this... MIDDLE school, grey matter and all. Only to be relived by the anniversary played on the history channel. lesse, nekkidness or brain.

    Just playing devil's advocate here but I'd think CBS has to claim it was an accident and not just for PR damage control. Theoretically, Janet (Ms. Jackson if you're nasty) could face public indecency charges from just about every jurisdiction the broadcast was shown. So CBS claiming an accident keeps Ms Jackson (cause I'm nasty) out of some legal binds.

    TITS!

    Still, at the same time last night, channel 11 show some guys jerking off a Bull Elephants massive, hairy cock for science. That was a bit... um... interesting`

    Everyone LOVES TITS!!

    Personally, I don't think tits are a big deal.

    Tits should not be on prime time, free telly, unless there is a parental warning however.

    Also, if we are going to see more tits personally, I want to see more wang. I love scottish movies- seeing wang is a given and Scots are hung.

    That is all.

    That halftime show was boooorrrrrrriininnggg, even with the completely staged janet-tit episode. I found way more entertainment in the new commercials.
    1. Horse cuts the chesse! Hilarious!
    2. Dog gets the family jewels! HAHAHAHAHA!

    hell, even the Chevy Aveo commercial was more entertaining.

    The comments began in an interesting vein and then a bunch of fools dragged it down into the gutter. But that appears to be where the half time show belonged. I never watch the half time show. That's the time to go to the bathroom, get another beer and let the dog out. It is always just a waste of time in the middle of the game!

    It was planned! Maybe she will be cited for indecent exposure! They needed to boost the ratings somehow! Anyways, the game was TONS more exciting!

    Holy cow... I need to turn off email notifications when people comment to my posts. When one like this explodes, 192 messages in my mailbox when I return to my computer on Monday is nuts.

    Anyway, it turns out I was right and wrong about the superbowl half-time show. It was boring. This "controversy" is a big-time joke if you ask me. I am sure MTV meant to do it. I am not so sure CBS and the NFL knew about it. Either way, I can't understand 1. Why is anyone surprised? 2. Does anyone really care? 3. Was anyone other than Kid Rock and Timberlake actually using a live microphone?

    Question number 3 should be a bigger controversy. Why are we so enthralled by the Janets and Britneys of the world who think it is good enough to show up and dance without singing their songs?

    this is so friggin ridiculous, all these people so making a big deal out of the "oh the moral fiber of the country" give me a break , it was a tit and as for the moral fabric, i think countless ads for erectile dysfunction and alcoholic beverages, which contribute heavily to thousands of deaths every year, are just as objectionable if you are gonna play the moral card, yet these ads are celebrated, puhlease people be consistent with your fake outrage,
    if people were more outraged by things that actually mattered maybe the world would be a better place, but its easier to cry about an exposed tit then it is to focus on issues that matter

    G,

    You have a good point. But I think what is at root of Janet Jackson's exposure of her boob is simple. As viewers, we were all universally exploited against our will. We were led to believe (by CBS, by MTV by the NFL) that the Super Bowl halftime show was a family show. Most families do not want their children to see seductive dancing, exposed and pierced breasts, tattoos, etc... More importantly, CBS used the Super Bowl show as a way to blatantly exploit/promote it's upcoming Grammy show and Janet Jackson. Such controversy breeds conversation, talk and eventually viewers/record sells. We can't even watch a football game anymore without producers/singers/entertainers exploiting our every waking moment, offending us, distracting us, trying to take up our time and take our money. The exposed breast was just another way that we, as viewers were violated by an ever-increasing, overwhelming, consumer-driven culture. We were morally bankrupt many years before. Now it's just being thrust at us without warning, simply because that's the only way they can. Thus, we are losing control of our personal lives by corporations without an ounce of respect for the very people/customers that keep them afloat....

    And email I just gotten... from cassadysm@netzero.com... Good thing netzero bounced the message. I'll be sure to still send ya a nice message with an attachment :)

    You're an idiot. How do you think Sodom and Gomorroh came to be. Everybody trying to push the envelope. People become desensitized and soon everything is acceptable. It's sad that you can't see that. Makes it easier for you to rationalize the stack of adult magazines on your nightstand, huh? And the fact that you base your argument on what others are doing. What a follower you are. Try taking the high road some time. You might like it and yourself a little bit more.

    Heres ya response jackass

    You go out of your way to drop me an email about something about censorship and what my opinion is on it in America, and I'm the idiot?? My question is this, why do you immediately run to sexual issues when a naked member is aired on television? Perhaps your over sensitized? After all America AND the Canada are the only countries with this hang-up. And based on the fact of you judging me, I have no problem sending you this email even though I was trying not to email anyone until the virus on my computer was removed. Have a nice day. Now I'm off with my wife to look at the stack of magazines on our nightstand. Fucking moron.....

    ok, why was ward so offended that her DAUGHTER saw a BOOB! shes a female for christ sakes! she will see her own boobs in no time, unless for some reason ward is an alien or some other species where the female doesnt grow boobs.

    how many of us saw a boob b4 we were sexually "active"? its a normal human thing, and like someone else previously stated, we are born naked, so why is it shunned so much?

    if it werent for this "modern" world we live in, there would be no such thing as clothes, and we would be naked like the rest of the animals out there... and believe it or not... yes, we are animals.

    Well said Chris Wilson.
    Personally Janet should have done video a la "Paris Hilton" style. ( made a video and release it just before the show airs creating curiosity and a buzz.)
    Viewers would have had more control and everyone would have been satisfied.

  • 204 - Mac Diva

    Feb 02, 2004 at 5:29 pm

    You are entitled to your opinion, but Chris Wilson's remarks seem silly to me. Professional (and college) football epitomizes a shallow, market-driven society. And, he turns around and criticizes an unscripted moment in a halftime show? The very same criticisms apply, even moreso, to what he is defending -- the money machine known as professional (and college) sports. His cluelessness is just what I expect from somewhat who thinks Ayn Rand was an intellectual.

    Barger, I know you are opposed to doing research on the grounds Ayn Rand never did, but believe you should at least post the correct ages of the participants. Jackson is 38. Justin Timberlake is 23. She would have needed to start pretty early to be his mother.

    Well, someone needs to distinguish between this incident and real examples of immorality. Today's sport news leads with stories about basketball and football programs at colleges using sex parties to recruit student athletes. And, let us not forget the tragic murder of young basketball player Patrick Dennehy, lured to a college program by illicit payments. His coach tried to get the other players to claim he was a drug dealer after his death for 'the good of the program.' That is corruption that deserves to be condemned at the loudest volume. A peek at some woman's mammary gland isn't.

    It is as if Right Wingers like Chris Wilson live in some Never Never Land instead of the real world. Sports are as about as pure as sewer water.

    ok whats the deal people! my god i come to one of my fav web pages to read about the super bowl and find bickering like two little kids. yes it was a bad thing for janets bare breast to be exposed but my good look at eveything out there its everywhere now there are worse things on the discovery chanel arnt there? i agree it shouldnt of happined but come on should people really argue about that?

  • 208 - mike

    Forget the quality and quantity of Jackson's boob. One of the things that seems to be missed in this controversy about Timberlake's ripping Jackson's boob covering off is that kids - and society - are watching their 'heros' do things they shouldn't be doing. The action of ripping off a woman's clothing is never an action that can be condoned in any way. Nothing justifies it. And kids watching the halftime show saw famous people doing just that with nothing to indicate it was an 'accident'. How do you 'accidentally reach over and pull on someone's clothes in that manner. In our society we don't pull on other's clothing like that. It's a precursor to rape and it sets an extremely poor example for, and example of, our society.

    The showing Janet Jackson's BREAST is the best thing to happen on CBSTBS and all other stations for high ratings.
    This sort of thing is just what the public needed to see to buy the DVD when it will be issued. I really wish
    her breast was not censored on tv.
    She is a beautiful woman with a beautiful concpet(her and her breast).
    Now say with me her breast are beautiful. Thanks Justin!!!!
    From a true Janet fan supported buy other fans in the whole United Sates.

    Stop being a priss janet jackson did a show with justin timberlake and her top ripped things do happen ladies and gentlemen I don't think she wanted you to see it anyway if she did she would have been in Playboy magazine. You guys are too uptight because of an incident trust me if she wanted to let you see it she wouldn't be covering up her breast thank you. And she didn't spice up the half time because of a breast showing either. It was an accident they do things on videos that your kids see so what's the difference. Janet was a great dancer as always just say oops and go on with your lives damn! Ebani

  • 213 - curious

    Feb 02, 2004 at 8:37 pm

    The ripping of her clothes is quite suggestive of rape. What do ya'll think about that aspect of the issue?

  • 214 - Ebani Dawson

    Feb 02, 2004 at 8:44 pm

    I disagree about Janet jackson's performance. Everybody was up in arms about it. It was not that bad a piece of her clothing her top was ripped it was an accident. You guys are such priss if she wanted to show her breasts she could've done Playboy magazine I don't think she really wanted to reveal her her chest on tv she has better things to do. Not only that videos have been made with dancing and the kids seem to watch it so why are you having a hard time that it happened. get over yourselves it was not that bad. Get a life get a grip damn prisses. Ebani

    What is the big deal about a breast. Most kids have seen worst. The thing that people need to be upset about is the fact that Kid Rock was wearing the
    American Flag as a shirt. That is not right by any means.

    They say that Janet's spokeswoman, Jennifer Holiner, said a red lace garment was supposed to remain when Timberlake tore off the outer covering of her bustier... but I think that is completely false. Reason being, if you take a close look, the piece that Justin took off shows to the camera the inner side of the piece (the part that was in contact with her breast). You will see that the red lace does not extend throughout the whole leathered piece. A way you can tell it is the inner side is by how Justin ripped it off (four fingers having to have grabbed the inner side) and the other side of the buttons to clasp onto the bustier is seen, and where the red lace begins at the top you see no silver decors. The link below shows the picture in which I am referring to.

    Hopefully this link works:

    Mac Diva,

    What we are discussing here are not my own political views - which might surprise you - or the condition of sports in our society. It is whether or not the stunt Janet Jackson pulled during the Super Bowl halftime show was offensive. I am not offended by nudity. What I am offended by is a blatant, crass attempt by Jackson and CBS to purposely create a controversy all for the sake of selling records and promoting a television show. Whether you realize it or not, we were exploited and played. Our children were exploited and played. The Super Bowl, for better or worse, has become a huge cultural event in American society. When someone is given the honor of performing during that event, much like the honor of performing the Star Spangled Banner, one does not take advantage of such a situation simply to promote their own self interests. MTV and CBS both took advantage of such a situation to exploit us, promoting their brand of mediocrity. Madonna has utilized such shock tactics over the years to pomote herself and her unmemorable music. Britney has done the same and now Janet is following suit. While such stunts before took place in the realm of cable TV, this stunt was on regular TV, CBS, during the halftime of the Super Bowl. CBS is as much to blame as anyone, as they have been frothing at the mouth for the youth market for years. Our society today is driven by such a youth market, and thus we are force-fed poor music, poor films and the kind of deplorable halftime show we had to uncomfortably sit through on Sunday. It has angered many Americans and rightfully so. We were not warned, and thus we were taken advantage of.

    Corruption in sports has been around forever, well hell, since the Black Sox Scandal in the early 20th century. So you are beating a dead horse there my friend. MTV, CBS and Janet Jackson took advantage of us to promote their own self interests. They did so in a crass and offensive way, during a program that was intended for the entire family. Their's a bad smell that taints the entire affair, and it has nothing to do with sports corruption, Baylor basketball or collegiate sex parties - which frankly take place in more places than just the athletic dorm.......

  • 225 - Mark Saleski

    in a crass and offensive way

    not unlike the promotion of that stupid survivor telecast that they managed to shoehorn in during every single 15 second 'downtime' slot.

    exploited? c'mon. the superbowl on tv is capitalism on steroids....and we all knew that before turning it on.
