Did anyone else see if Justin Timberlake pulled off Janet Jackson's top?

Hey, was it just me, or did you notice that CBS kept showing NE cheerleaders but not the Panthers'?

What's up with that?

No taste; no class. Par for the course for CBS.

Regardless of the rhetoric around here, there's no way to be certain whether this was or wasn't an accident. Of course, there are those around here who declared it not an accident, mere moments after it happened.

None of us can say, with absolute certainty, whether it was, or wasn't.

Bullsh!t. Whatever else you care to say about it, it was most definitely NOT an accident. See posts 745 and 779 in this thread.

Where did you find that terrorist quote? Is that from a website? I would like to see the link.

Just as we have dehumanized muslims/arabs, they have dehumanized us as a group of perverted slobs. All of this makes it more acceptable to mass murder our people, and vice/versa. (Sorry, I know this has little to do with Justin and Janet....Oh well, it is more interesting anyway.)

Performers have already simulated sex on stage and in videos.

Simulating? You weren't watching very closely.

Certainly we have the technology to have a system whereby a cable subscriber can order (and be billed for) specific channels they select to come into their home.

C-Band satellite (the old-style big ugly dish) worked this way. You could subscribe to channels a la carte.

Wow, there's cognative dissonance...a religious whacko calling for a jihad against the scary and dangerous "mammary", posting a message by fellow jihadists who differ only in the name they call their god.

Excuse me, but you're way out of line here.

I was just embarrassed that Kid Rock was a defacto ambassador for the US to the world. I don't care if he's a Bush fan or not, he's a white trash POS and 1 billion people now think he is the type that supports the war and our president.

[Lord_Baltar]

In your opinion it wasn't an accident.

Plain and simple.

You weren't in the dressing room prior to the incident, nor were you onstage when it happened.

The only two who can be absolutely certain are the two involved, everyone just has an opinion, one way or the other...

Isn't this the same Justin cad who soiled and then dumped Britainy?

This guy is a public menace!!

[Luke Skyfreeper]

This thread has gone on for nearly 1000 posts, over a single boob.

No, two boobs - Janet's, and you.

That's only 500 posts per boob. :-)

I know that was a cheap shot, but you set yourself up for it royally! ;-)

Keep your doors locked and your girls inside. ;-)

You know what this is, don't you?

I don't care if Janet wants to dance nude while biting off the head of a bat - she can do it with her own kind. Why force it on conservatives?

Why are conservative parents forced to see an old hard-looking two bit whore type strip while we're watching football with our families?

Forced viewing is the new liberal "edgy" thing? How totalitarian.

I don't see anything wrong with a talk on morality, but I wouldn't force it on MTV viewers. Do you understand the difference?

Who cares, it's a boob. It's not like she was completely nude, spread eagle on stage. Her Boob popped out.

[Hildy]

This is where we disagree: The notion that two grown, well respected MARRIED actors would purposely kiss on the mouth to titallize the audience is preposterous. Douglas bent down to kiss his friend after his friend just got through saying glorious things about him, and Devito got on his tippy toes and their mouths clicked. It was totally innocent. How you can compare that with simulated sex and even assault (a man ripping a woman's shirt off)is ridiculous.

It WAS staged:

OUTRAGE AT CBS AFTER JANET BARES BREAST DURING DINNER HOUR; SUPER BOWL SHOW PUSHES LIMITS

**Exclusive**

Top CBS executives approved a musical skit where Janet Jackson would expose her breast during the MTV-produced Super Bowl half-time concert, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

"The decision to go forward went to the very top of the network," a well-placed source explained from New York.

The groundbreaking scene came during the most-watched television broadcast of the year -- and during the dinner hour for the nation's west coast viewers.

Officially, CBS drew distance from the show: "CBS deeply regrets the incident that occurred during the Super Bowl halftime show," the network said in a release. "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."

In a press release before Sunday's game, CBS's sister outlet [VIACOM's] MTV promised "Janet's Shocking Moments."

"I'll get you naked by the end of this song," sang performer Justin Timberlake, moments before he ripped off Jackson's top, exposing a bare breast -- the nipple covered by a metal 'solar' nipple medallion.

CBS's main New York switchboard was immediately bombarded with complaints about the stunt, network sources said late Sunday.

The NFL claimed outrage over the stunt:

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."

¿Suicidio cultura?

[Lord_Baltar]

Wow Luke, Somebody call Guiness. we've got a Record 3 Boobs in one room. You, Me, and the many posted photos here of Janets...

[Selene]

vice/versa????

The infidels do not have thousands of web sites and clerics calling for mass murder.

Get a clue.

[Cathryn Crawford]

¿Suicidio cultura?

Oh, yeah.

This is series. I can't understand what this country is coming to. I can't even turn on an innocent football game and watch half-naked cheerleaders flash their panties while watching commercials about bestiality and horse flatulence anymore without being bombarded with this type of thing.

This is suicidio cultura, all right. Next time, I'm just going to watch HBO.

[Polly]

Perhaps you misunderstood me. I would like to see that website. Do you have the link?

[Jim Cane]

Excuse me, but you're way out of line here.

So you think the taliban is justified in waging a jihad against the U.S. because of Janet Jackson's bosom?

I'll just put you down in the "domestic terrorist" column.
