Statement by NFL Executive Vice President Joe Browne regarding the Super Bowl halftime show:

"We were extremely disappointed by elements of the MTV-produced Halftime show. They were totally inconsistent with assurances our office was given about the show. It's unlikely that MTV will produce another Super Bowl halftime."

[Howlin]

It's too late now.

[Always Right]

what happened

[Lawgvr1955]

Before the game is over the NFL is distancing itself from the "Boob Seen 'Round the World".

[xm177e2]

Timberlake ripped off Janet's blouse to expose her breast on Nat'l TV with just a pastie covering most of the nipple.

[Lawgvr1955]

what happened

Are you serious??

[Aggie Mama]

Whatever. You mean to tell me that no one from the NFL saw this during the practices?

[small voice in the wilderness]

Unlikely?? Not good enough. Not even close.

[InvisibleChurch]

but those involved at mtv will become cultural icons for sticking it in America's eye

[inkling]

Now my daughters aren't allowed to watch sporting events. Thanks a lot CBS & NFL. Idiots.

[Enterprise]

Janet Jackson exposed a breast. See a picture on the Drudge Report website. Just more pro-sports low life antics.

[mcg1969]

I'll tell you the real problem with the halftime show: it sucked.

[Lawgvr1955]

The NFL isn't going to be too happy that the game got upstaged.

[Toespi]

Yeah, and they aren't even real........

[omniscient]

Bring back Shania!

[Lawgvr1955]

I agree the show sucked and shocked. It did what MTV wanted though; got everyone talking about it and not the teams playing, etc.

[BenR2]

Who cares what they say?

The NFL is as corrupt as MTV in my book.

Message to NFL Executive Vice President Joe Browne:

Don't associate with criminals and low-lifes and this won't happen.

[ladyinred]

Thank goodness. I was so disgusted I changed the channel during the show. I am sick and tired of the half time show being trashed up with the Jackson's et al.

[jamaly]

"We were extremely disappointed by elements of the MTV-produced Halftime show"

What did those idiots expect from MTV, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir? Garbage in = garbage out.

[Zechariah11]

Yeah, and they aren't even real........

Okay. I give up! Is it me or are some posts baffling?

[Lawgvr1955]

Life after Clinton. First you couldn't let your kids watch the news or they would learn about oral sex. Now they can't watch sporting events for the nudity.

As the Russian comedian Yakov Smyrnoff said, "What a country!!!".

[Enterprise]

It doesn't so much look like a breast as it does like someone deflated a basketball and filled it with glop.

[sine_nomine]

I saw a few seconds of Kid Rock and turned the channel. I thought the "entertainment" promised to be boring and stupid, not disgusting as well. I did not like seeing KR dressed in a flag.

No talent. No entertainment. No taste. Has anyone told Janet she is just as ugly as Michael?

[Stars N Stripes]

CBS Statement on Janet Jackson--- CBS deeply regrets the incident that occured during the Super Bowl halftime show. We attended all rehearsals throughout the week and there was no indication that any such thing would happen. The moment did not conform to CBS broadcast standards and we would like to apologize to anyone who was offended.

[Enterprise]

"Has anyone told Janet she is just as ugly as Michael?"

She so ugly that she has to wear a sack over her ugly ass head so da sandman can creep up on her so she can sleep at night.

[Lawgvr1955]

What did those idiots expect from MTV, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir?

Good one.

[dinok]

To these people its all about ratings and shock value.

Pathetic...but typical.

[solitas]

Hey - if you're into watching animals (as all those things are)... {shrug}

[Enterprise]

Offensive isn't the word here. Classless fits better. The audience really deserves better.

[sine_nomine]

Good response. I will remember that one. I love your tag line.

[Lawgvr1955]

According to Drudge, CBS approved the Jackson expose'.

[dawn53]

I have a hard time believing that.

They certainly heard the song being rehearsed, and the words to the song had to do with "take your clothes off."

[commish]

Not just the esposure at the end ..but Nelly grabbing his crotch and obviously holding his "thang" throughout his performance.

[nuconvert]

LoL!

They think that's an APOLOGY????

[joesnuffy]

too late now...the apple is out of the bread bag...well actually it looked like the apple was still in the bread bag...

[gcruse]

What? Primary Areola isn't the first string place kicker?

[Humidston]

This proves the entire Jackson family, Inc, is about as sick as they come.

And MTV can stuff it!
So can Joe Browne and CBS!

[RicocheT]

The whole MTV halftime show was dreck. No wonder the Islamic militants call us the "Great Satan." Putting any of the Jacksons up on that stage guaranteed a new low in TV entertainment.

It was the one part of the game I was able to take a long rest break and be sure not to miss football or a good product commercial.

[mewzilla]

How and when did Janet Jackson get this gig anyway? Inquiring minds want to know...

[Lawgvr1955]

Primary Areola isn't the first string place kicker?

Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode about the woman whose named rhymed with a part of the female anatomy.

[looois]

Ugliest breast I ever saw. Looks bloated.

CBS should be fined. And the NFL should ban CBS from televising Super Bowls for at least fifteen years.

[Prodigal Son]

Timberlake ripped off Janet's blouse to expose her breast on Nat'l TV with just a pastie covering most of the nipple.

Oh dear God! Not a female breast!

[gridlock]

I did not like seeing KR dressed in a flag.

I must have gone out for a beer just as the "Boob Seen 'Round the World" made it's appearance. I saw the title of this tread, and I was hoping the the NFL was going to deplore the way Kid Rock made a poncho out of an actual American Flag, and then removed it and had one of his handlers throw it on the ground...

I mean, at least he didn't pee on it, so I guess that counts for respecting the flag in Kid-Rock-Land.

No such luck. The NFL doesn't care about the flag. They're all upset by Janet's boobs.

[Blessed]

I agree.If they really wanted to apoligize they would have read it during the award ceremony or on the broadcast.

[Enterprise]

It's an old insult I remembered from by youth. There are some good ones out there. I am indebted to Howard the "Duck" Dean for my tag line. After he officially drops out I will have to get another one.

[PattonReincarnated]

What idiots!!!! Ever stop on MTV when you are channel surfing ... if you haven't, it usually only takes a few seconds to see something objectionable. The NFL should have known better.

[BIGZ]

Janet can't expose her breast but the Black guy can play with his d--k for five minutes.

CBS is CBS what did they expect from MTV.A bunch of liberal anti-moral crap.

[AlbertWang]

Of course they resorted to shock. None of their half time acts have any talent or have sold albums since 1999. I'm surprised they didn't have The Artest Formerly Known as Prince and Rupert Holmes as their main acts.

[Monty22]

"What? Primary Areola isn't the first string place kicker?"

LOL!
