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.

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 tassel.

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

I have no problem with exposed breasts, unless they are attached to a Jackson.

What the 'F' did they expect?

The commissioner is clearly out of touch with the sheeple. Someone should have known what to expect with this lineup of trash. Maybe they did, and thought: "Let's give the morons what they want." If I was told that Nelly ("so take off all yo clothes") Janet Jackass ("shakin' that thang...nice package") Kid Rock ("hoes...sex...heroes in the methadone clinic) and the rest would be in my halftime show, I would have fired the Ivy League educated, snotnosed little shits in charge, and ordered a new show with real talent.

They could have put Toby and Willie on at the half, but that probably wouldn't be enough to keep the attention of the humanoids that they think make up the majority of the prime (18-35) demographic.

Tagliabue and the NFL should be ashamed of themselves. The fact that the NFL even thought of asking MTV to produce the show earns them loud jeers.

Next year, just show the f*ck!ng game, and skip the stuff for the ladies and the queer guys, OK? Is that too much to ask?

Next year. Justin Timberlake will expose himself.

Earlier today I mused that the Superbowl is a monument to pagan decadence, and wondered when bare breasts will start appearing. Turns out it's now.

I'm banning CBS from my TVs. It's now blocked on my satellite and my children are not allowed to watch that network (not that they were interesting anyway).

Anyone for emailing CBS? I am.

Great minds think alike! I emailed CBS and pretty much told them the same thing. They are now banned from my DirecTV system.

severely disfunctional sibling rivalry...

More likely, her act was co-ordinated with Michael's defense team. How can he now be convicted of flopping his out in front of one kid, after millions of kids, have watched her flop hers out?

I live in Houston and very few Houstonians were even given the chance to attend. The Super Bowl is for the wealthy and connected. It's that simple. And it's getting more decadent every year. No wonder all the Muslim extremist want us dead. They believe God wants us dead and I'm not so sure they're not right about that.

If you are talking about the hoopla and not the game itself, I'd have to say your comment is quite apt.
