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."

[PattonReincarnated]

>> Well, after all, MTV stands for "My T.tties and Vagina."

These days they seem to have the T and V mixed up - the can quite figure out who is supposed to touch what. Goes doubly for queer guys.

If you're serious, go to a t*tt* bar where you can see all you want for as long as you want!

Just go to the beach and get a nice tan while you're at it.

[Lawgvr1955]

Now its Porky's Halftime.

Excellent observation!!

[raybbr]

...lot's of us have boobs, so it's just silly.

And anyway, Nelly was not really making obscene gestures from his crotch - he just had his hand there, as I have my hand on mine now.

Gee, you must have had it tough in high school gym class.

[Revolting cat!]

Let me make up my own mind. Does anyone have a pic of that tit? How did I miss it?

[breakem]

sounds like the show was a flop

[Julliardsux]

I did like climbing the rope...

LOL, didn't you come into contact with a female breast as a child? I don't see a female breast as being that unusual. Certainly not something that is ugly. It's a functional part of your anatomy- like your arm for example.

You didn't answer my question.

Trying to redefine a society's definition of sexual content? Tell you what, when they start putting mammies in the newest edition of Highlights Magazine for kids, ill take whatever you say seriously.

An arm isnt considered a sexual stimulating part of the body. Breasts are. Grow up.

[Revolting cat!]

Bettah than this?

[Howlin]

Drudge does.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

I suppose it would have been out of the question to have Norah Jones or Diana Krall or Dianne Reeves or someone who can actually carry a tune and enunciate her words as the halftime act.

[NYCVirago]

Well, to start with, I don't own a television. But to continue, nudity is common on television where I live. But graphic violence is not. I don't think there is anything ugly about a woman's breasts- if that's what you're asking.

It's not a question on whether woman's breasts are ugly -- it's a question about whether it's appropriate to have a naked breast on American broadcast TV when families are watching the game with their kids. Again, this wasn't the Spice Channel here -- this was the Super Bowl, an event that ostensibly the whole family can watch together. There was certainly no warning given that there was going to be this nudity, either.

As for the rest of your argument, I'll bet Janet Jackson defecates on a regular basis, too, but I don't particularly want to see her do that on TV either.

[Julliardsux]

I am udderly disgusted!

[Prodigal Son]

How were you exposed? At your mom's breast, or did your folks take you to topless clubs? There is a difference...

Exposed? You make the human body sound so ugly. I've never seen it that way.

[bulldogs]

Did you just take that picture?

Sounds like you may have been the victim of some incestual contact. If so, I offer my sympathy, but you need to put your anger for Almighty God on a shorter leash. And you might want to stop feeding that puppy so often. Just a word of warning from a fellow traveler.

[Julliardsux]

The arm used to be considered so.

[PLOM...NOT!]

This was a major "moment of truth" time for CBS, MTV, NFl, people are extremely po'd about this and from what I see are not going to let this slide. Watch for the s**t to hit the fan tomorrow.

It's not a question on whether woman's breasts are ugly -- it's a question about whether it's appropriate to have a naked breast on American broadcast TV

Would it be appropriate to see a naked male chest? What's the difference? I know I've seen bare chested men at football games.

It's a double standard. If anything, the naked female chest is much less offending than the naked overweight torso of some hairy football fan.
