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."

Super Bowl XXXVIII D.

And your point is???

That's my point. What is the difference between a female breast and a male breast? None.

None.

If anything, I would always prefer to look at a naked female chest than a male one and it is perfectly acceptable to show the male one.

Trolling, trolling, trolling...

The boob tonight was really no different than what you see on commercials these days, in fact, seeing it with no covering is less titillating than when it is only slightly covered, which makes you wish you could see the whole thing. Here, there was not that longing - it was just there, and we can move on, not wondering what it looked like.

What's the outrage here?

Only sissies get "outraged."

The problem is that (a) you didn't see the show and (b) Janet Jackson's display was merely the culmination of 20+ minutes of soft porn for a family audience, and also a global audience.

It ain't about boobs, except for you.

Oh, don't get me wrong. Breasts are evil. Really evil. I don't know how I will ever recover now that I have seen Janet's mostly exposed breast. I'm traumatized... I can think of nothing worse than seeing a bare female breast.

I can think of something worse... trying to explain to my daughters (both under 10 years of age) why the man they just witnessed forcibly removing a woman's clothing exposing her breast on national TV, is not arrested on the spot.

The show had no parental advisory and they had no right to subject my family to this nonsense.

Breasts are not evil, but a woman who bares her breasts on national television, a network that permits that, a football league who hires it to be done, and the general proposition that there are no moral standards, and that whatever some juvenile entertainment mentality decides should be foisted upon us over the airways against our wills, evil or not, can be confronted as if it were evil, as it may be. The people who did this to the those of us who did not expect it, did want it and did not need it, at least some of these degenerate perps, are going to pay with their jobs or profits, I hope, and well they should. Evil or not, most of us did not like seeing some elderly woman's boob displayed during the intermission of a sporting event, and payback time is coming and coming soon, I hope.Damn the ACLU and all those responsible for turning our culture into crap. This ought to be a campaign issue, and let's here some of the candidates hum their hums about who good it is that we can be mortified by the media time and again.

We don't even have kids here, Sam, and we were blindedsided, too.

Sounds like you're raised a very centered child!

[jungleboy]

woops... abc=dnc also

[RIGHT IN LAS VEGAS]

To Joe Browne, you NFL jerk!

WE watched the titalating scene on my 450" B+W!

I had 25,000 friends over for a weenie roast.

We saw it on your broadcast.

We are all hiring attorneys tomorrow.........and other attorneys!:)

Re: It was the manner in which it was exposed.

Agreed. It has all the smackings of an assault.

[Prodigal Son]

It was the manner in which it was exposed.

What would your rather see? Janet expose her breast or a lesbian kiss? Personally, the breast exposure by Janet pales in comparison to the degradation of values that accompaniest the lesbian kiss by Madonna/B.Spears.

[Julliardsux]

"Super Bowl XXXVIII D" THAT IS HILARIOUS!!!!

[breakem]

inDeed!

[O.C. - Old Cracker]

LOL. You need to get over youself buddy. What did you eat as a baby? You didn't come out of the womb eating Kraft Macaroni and Cheese.

So much disdain for God and your fellow man? That's real emptiness. I am truly sorry.

[Julliardsux]

up and down

[angkor]

Super Bowl XXXVIII

Next year, Super Bowl XXXIX XXX.

[Prodigal Son]

Breasts are not evil

End of story.

Here, there was not that longing - it was just there, and we can move on, not wondering what it looked like.

Gosh, I don't think many of us were sitting there wondering, gee, why doesn't Justin Timberlake take off Janet Jackson's top? I had my channel on CBS to watch a football game. As for the rest of your argument, like I said earlier, it's also natural to defecate, but I don't want to see Janet do that on tv either.

[stormer]

I think not. I REALLY don't want to see her breast
