Don't put it on the tube and then tell me I should turn it off or change the channel after you've already run the segment or program.

    sex sells, and so does scaring/shocking the viewer.

    What if at the beginning of half time they would have warned you onscreen. "at the end of Janet's duet with Justin... he will rip off her leather top and expose her breast" would YOU change the channel? most straight males wouldn't i know that for sure.

    Al,

    Believe it or not, I do not now or in the future want to see that scanky JJ's breast, actually I don't even want to see her face!!! A man has to have standards. People have to have standards and that whole halftime circus lacked any class at all.

    Jesse,

    I don't disagree with you at all on this. I was just making a point. yes on the news we do warn viewers. " the video you're about to see is graphic" it may distrub some viewers.. that gives people time to change the channel or stick around and see just how graphic it is..

    this really goes back to looky lews or rubber neckers... everyone stares when driving by a car accident.. i know i do. and I've covered some of the worst accidents you could ever imagine.

    your point is well taken though... Janet is a has been.. the only way for her to get any air time is to do something shocking. kinda like big sister LaToya Jackson. Lets face it.. the whole damn family are freaks. ;)

    I can understand people being PO'd a Kid Rocks flag shirt, but the man has been very vocally supportive of the troops, and America in general from day one, so I did over look that. I don't think he intended to piss people off, he was just showing his "colors".

    you're right about kid rock. he had gone over to Iraq and supports the troops. he has made some very harsh statements the music\hollywood crowd would mostly never make. i didn't see his performance, but i'm sure he's getting a bad wrap he doesn't deserve.

    he's pretty close with ted nugent, ect. he's from detroit and isn't some anti-american a-hole.

    I didn't like Kid Rock wearing the American flag like that but I did notice that when he threw the flag off into the air someone was there to grab the flag before it hit the ground...

    Janet Makes History

    February 4, 2004

    Janet Jackson exposing her breast during the Super Bowl halftime show on Sunday night has proved to be the most-searched event in the history of the Internet.

    On Monday, Janet Jackson and the halftime show received 60 times as many searches as the Paris Hilton sex tape and 80 times as many searches as Britney Spears.

    seems like nudity is ok over in europe, while violence is shunned.

    the opposite is true here.

    Why should we feel ashamed about our bodies? We're too uptight about the human body. It's just a ****, everyone's got one or wants one.

    Your kids will see more on the beach today than what we saw during the half-time show. With the internet I'm certain they've already seen a whole lot more than you know.

    If we aspired to be more like the french we'd all be hailing hitler's son right now and speaking german.

    ...and the first lawsuit hits.

    http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/entertainment/7883797.htm
    Tenn. Woman Files Suit Over Super Bowl
    Associated Press

    KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - Terri Carlin wants to make Janet Jackson's bare breast into a federal case.

    Carlin filed a proposed class action lawsuit in U.S. District Court Wednesday against Jackson, singer Justin Timberlake, broadcasters MTV and CBS and their parent company, Viacom.

    Carlin alleges that she and others who watched the halftime show during Sunday's Super Bowl were injured by the performers' lewd actions when Timberlake ripped off part of Jackson's costume, exposing her breast.

    In the lawsuit, Carlin charges that the exposure and "sexually explicit conduct" by other performers during the show injured viewers.

    "As a direct and proximate result of the broadcast of the acts, (Carlin) and millions of others saw the acts and were caused to suffer outrage, anger, embarrassment and serious injury," the lawsuit says.

    But Carlin, who works in a bank, doesn't specify the type of injury allegedly suffered.

    "All of the defendants knew that the Super Bowl, the pre-eminent sports event in the United States, would be watched by millions of families and children," says the lawsuit filed by Knoxville attorney Wayne A. Ritchie II. "Nevertheless, (they) included in the halftime show sexually explicit acts solely designed to garner publicity and, ultimately, to increase profits for themselves."

    The lawsuit charges that the broadcast companies and the two singers violated an "implied" contract with viewers not to subject them to lewd actions.

    "Families have an expectation that they can trust companies and individuals such as the defendants not to expose families to sexually explicit conduct during broadcasts of prime time events such as the Super Bowl," the lawsuit says.

    Jackson has apologized for the incident, saying a red lace garment was supposed to remain over her breast when an outer garment was ripped away. She denied that the NFL, CBS, or MTV, which produced the halftime show for CBS, knew of her plans, and those entities all have condemned the performance.

    The lawsuit says the broadcasters should have had a "sufficient broadcast delay" to censor the acts, even if they didn't know what Jackson and Timberlake planned to do on stage.

    Carlin's lawsuit seeks billions of dollars in compensatory and punitive damages.


    Peace Out~:D

    Do people not realize how fragile they must be to actually be "harmed" by something like this? Geez. And in terms of Europe... no, they don't generally have the sexual hangups America has. Ever looked at a German magazine? Bare **** are all over the ads.

    I wish they'd get rid of the Superbowl halftime shows all together. Growing up, the thing I loved most about Monday night football was the halftime recap of all the Sunday games... that classic "Monday night football" music... I'd prefer a Superbowl halftime "show" of something like a recap of the playoffs, or a "best of season" show with clips of great catches, drives, etc. Every time a sporting event goes from being a sporting event into a television production, it suffers.

    I like boobies, though.
