How many of you caught her nipple exposure on the halftime show finale?
Justin Timberlake ripped off one half of her leather bustier to expose her right breast. |

Hey, give Janet a break, that wasn't a pierced nipple but a staple. With all the plastic surgery on her, sometimes parts fall off with all that wigglin. |

I'm shocked at the R-rated TV commercials that ran at the very beginning of the Super Bowl. There I was bonding with my 2 boys (8 and 5), looking forward to some fun football-watchin'. One of the first commercials was for some assinine CBS show that depicted 9 different gun scenes, and a threat to shoot someone - - - in the head!
Sheesh!
Soon after, there was an ad for a movie featuring werewolves, vampires, and zombies, which I suppose is not the worst thing ever, but it was pretty scary, and certainly NOT viewing for 5-year-olds.
The CSI commercials continued the trend of adult content. Mysterious vampiric cults, cadavers with gaping neck wounds - ugghh.
I was appalled at the adult content of the commercials of what I expected to be a family show.
I was pleased to see something kid-friendly, like a woman's breast at half time.

The question is, was this just a horrible accident or planned to titilate? 
IMHO the NFL is becoming more and more like the failed XFL. |

dytunck- I wholeheartedly agree with you. I don't remember last year's superbowl having commercials as adult as those last night. I was watching with my 11 year old but I can just imagine there were many families like yours watching with younger kids. Sunday at 6pm is most definitely a family time, Superbowl or not.

bobk.. the best thing for the NFL this week was Tagliabu's announcement that that crap in the endzone a la pulling out the sharpie and signing the ball, taking a cell phone and making a call was not going to be tolerated AT ALL. Thats the garbage that makes it most like the XFL. The half-time shows have always appealed to the beer and babes crowd, likely always will.

Duncan,
I'll agree that the recent trend is to appeal to the demographic group that is "the beer and babes crowd", which is a shame, but in the past, some Super Bowl halftime performers wouldnt necessarily appeal to such a group...
Super Bowl 4 and 6..Carol Channing (not enough beer in the world to make me think she's a babe)
Super Bowl 10, 14, 16, 20..Up With People (I never knew they would be so hot when they performed at my Catholic grammar school)
Super Bowl 27..Michael Jackson and 3500 kids (Im sure he was happy)
Super Bowl 24... Pete Fountain and a salute to Snoopy's 40th birthday party (the censors nervously had their fingers on the button during that one I bet!)
Super Bowl 15..Helen O'Connell (she might have been something else before electricity..to steal a line)
Super Bowl 32...40th Anniversary Tribute to Motown...probably didnt keep the desired demographic group to swithing over to see what Fox was showing at halftime.

Superbowl Sunday all boils down to a violent game, gas guzzeling SUV's, & beer, with some Black Hawk choppers buzzing around, so why not throw a little sex into the mix? It completes the image of our culture today, so theoretically, we shouldn't be ashamed. |

Wow, llama you've got it all figured out. How'd you get so smart?
I suppose you'd rather everyone sit around tossing platitudes around so a not to hurt anyone's feelings. Then they could all pile into their Hybrids and drive off to the nearest whole foods store to buy veggie burgers and tofu?
The game was great. The halftime show was a disaster in more ways than one. What demographic were they trying to appeal to anyway? Reminds me of the time that Destiny's Child performed "Booty-licious" during half time of one of the NBA finals and were booed very loudly. They would have been better off letting the college bands do their thing.
And just curious how many of you can really say that this was the first time you've seen JJ's boob?

It's not how smart I am, it's how dumb I'm not. Actually I was more offended by the Black Hawks at a sporting event, which are more of a symbol of the failings of humanity, than a life-supporting mammary gland, that many up-tight American grown-ups seem not able to handle but the war's collateral damage is way outside thier scope. Nudity wouldn't be such a big deal, or taboo to our children in this country if not for the fuss made by all the war mongering patriotic beer drinking SUV driving right to life NRA morons who view things in such a hopelessly distorted and twisted manner and have no real connection to reality and the world outside thier bubble. I can only imagine the damage this must have done to thier children! I need a glass of milk. |

Oh, did anybody watch the pregame entertainment with that astronaut planting the American flag on the "moon"? Ewww.
It reminded me of the scene in "Spinal Tap" where the Stonehenge models are lowered to the stage floor, and dwarf dressed as a leprachaun (sp) dances around them. |

i can't believe i missed it! come to think of it i don't think any of the 40 plus people at the party i went to even saw it. at least nobody was talking about it while i was there. driving home was another story. that's when we heard 'something' happened. even the news was somewhat vauge when the 'apology' was read. at least i had a tape running at home to tape survivor! i'm going to watch it tomorrow. |

Curb,
Sounds gamey! Hope your SUV wasn't too badly damaged and that your kids weren't too traumatized by the halftime show. |

Hey, the women in Cabaret drag gyrating all over, and Justin T all but mating with Janet were even more interesting to my 12 year old son than a quick shot of her boob. At least he has the good taste to think the music was pretty bad and lip-synched. |

When you have nothing substantive to offer, sell sex. It's not the oldest profession for nothing. Madonna's based an entire career on it (too bad about that "film" career tho). These two manufactured pop stars are just following the guide book.
What would have been really shocking, is if these two would have come up with anything worthwhile.

This was the most brilliant PR move made by anyone in a long time, possibly in history. Face it--it's all we're talking about this week, and you've likely heard the reports that this event is the most ever searched topic on Internet search engines EVER--even more than 9/11.
She just created a buzz that will effect her new album sales by more than 10% above whatever is would have done normally. WIth the Billion Plus people watching around the globe, it might even be greater.
I don't agree with the stunt, but as far as PR goes: Brava, Ms. Jackson. |

Jury Trial Demanded?!?! Where are they going to find 12 people who a- are not in agreement with the litigant and want to send Ms. Jackson et.al. a message or b- don't think this is a ridiculously frivilous lawsuit? Middle ground? Not so much. Then again... do they need 12 for this type of case? |

I didn't watch the game, but as soon as I heard about this incident it occurred to me that it was a great way to deflect the media away from her brother for a bit. Whatever, it was so obviously planned. People's costumes don't just rip apart like that unless they're prepared ahead of time. R |

I think everyone of the replies have some merit to say the least. But, the point is, it was just plain inappropriate. A breast is just a breast. Nothing more. If Timberlake wants to take out his three piece set, let him. However, it just should not be done on a nationally televised "family" event like the Super Bowl, unless we're willing to start giving sports events R-17 ratings. Then at least the Bible thumpers and the parents and the beer/babe crowd and the self-righteous and 'who gives a hoot' can make an informed choice.
