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."

Refresh my memory, but what was last year's Super Bowl entertainment, anyway?
To: Paleo Conservative
Shoot the NFL and college football should be viewable by the whole family. I'm embarrassed to watch football in front of my 89 year old grandmother, because of the advertizing among other things.Absolutely. And geez, I thought no commercials could be more embarrassing to see in mixed company than ads for feminine hygiene products. But that was before Viagra and Levitra ads came on the air!

While I appreciate the anatomy lesson, I fail to see how your argument justifies my young daughters seeing Janet's floppy udder during the dinner hour. I enjoy watching sports with my family and am more than a little annoyed that I may have to avoid that now. This is a terrific post. You get extra points for using the phrase "floppy udder"!
To: cherry
frankly, I am tired of your type telling me that I have to change the channel....
YOU change YOUR channel....
YOU want the filth.....then go watch it on one of the many, many filthy channels that exist already for YOUR perverted pleasure..... I am tired of it, too. And I'm also appalled at how many freepers are defending having this trash on broadcast television during a family show. Geez, I thought at least conservatives would agree on this issue!

MTV does not deny. Looks like it was planned.
Janet Jackson Got Nasty at the MTV-Produced Super Bowl Halftime Show Jaws across the country hit the carpet at exactly the same time. You know what we're talking about...Janet Jackson, Justin Timberlake and a kinky finale that rocked the Super Bowl to its core. P. Diddy, Kid Rock, & Nelly rounded out the halftime show in the midst of the greatest game on earth. MTV was Super Bowl central, so armchair quarterbacks, fair weather fanatics and fans of Janet Jackson and her pasties were definitely in the right place. So strap on those pads, keep your head down and get the full recap of The AOL Super Bowl XXXVIII Halftime Show produced by MTV.

And geez, call me a prude, but I really didn't need to see anything remotely resembling "kinky" during a football game, nor did I have a need for a halftime show that "rocked the Super Bowl to its core."

Don't leave us all in suspense. What does Augustine's work have to say about Janet Jackson's boob in a halftime show? Insomnia again.
No Cliff Notes available on the subject. Do you always ask others to do your work? If you're truly interested then you will read Augustine's 'The City of God'. Do you think you're up to the task? Somehow, I think your attention span would cower at the task.

Wow, what are you all going to do when the girls get old enough to look in a mirror, or have to dress themselves? Wow! How clever. People defecate too. It's perfectly natural. But they don't do it on stage.

They also should make sure it doesn't fall into the hands of the CBS again.

The following are Viacom owned companies. A conservative parent's worst nightmare.
Remember Simon & Schuster who paid Hillary $8 million for her book & CBS did that lovely hatchet job on President Reagan with Mr. Streisand. |
It all makes sense. |

"Refresh my memory, but what was last year's Super Bowl entertainment, anyway?" I forget what it was about. I guess it was so bad it wasn't worth remembering.

"I don't think there is anything ugly about a woman's breasts- if that's what you're asking." You lead a sheltered life.

How and when did Janet Jackson get this gig anyway? Probably the only one that desperate for attention, she's pretty much a has-been and they seem more willing to do anything to get in front of cameras.

OK. What's worse. Timberlake's breasts or Janet's? Or pop star fans that admire anything their favorite celebrities do in their desperate bids for attention?

It may be generational --- some people have grown up with MTV and have never seen much of anything else. They actually believe Timberlake is one of the greatest talents ever. Pop music sucks.

If anyone thinks Justin Timberlake is great , they also must be a fan of Castor Oil! YUK!

Perhaps some musical training has given you some nuances of appreciation that the general public doesn't have; I found the whole thing tailored to 17 year old hip-hop fans and little else.
The boob exposure, obviously intentional, was an anticlimactic culmination to a truly tasteless 25 minutes geared for an audience that isn't really watching this particular halftime.
The NFL, however, should have known what it would get with CBS and, its bad-boy brother, MTV in control. The NFL, furthermore, has set the general tone with allowing the commercials, which the general public does accept, to degenerate into one-upsmanship toilet humor.
A once grand sporting contest culminating game is now little more than an ear ring on the television culture of titillation.
