Statement regarding the Super Bowl halftime show
www.superbowl.com ^ | February 1, 2004 | NFL

Posted on 02/01/2004 7:20:07 PM PST by Lawgvr1955

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."

Janet should sue her plastic surgeon, and whoever told her that her breast is pretty.

Really bad boob job.

I mean, plastic surgery residents all over the world will be talking this week about how bad her boob job is.

And then, her face. She was a lot prettier when she was black.

I sure do. Do they think that MEN with FAMILIES want their kids seeing crap like that?

easy. a bare breast on a body with face that looks like michael jackson.

Well half time used to be fun and good for the whole family. they should have known something like this crap would happen. We didn't watch. We knew it would be trashed for attention. You'd think Janet Jackson would try to be a little low key since her brother is in so much trouble. She really uplifted the Jacson name didn't she? My sister wrote and said how terrible it was. Well, I would venture to say that no one should be surprised. It's just a bunch of incompetents out there trying to shock everyone. No shock here...figured they would pull something like that. However, it is a disgrace and was shameful but...they'll never feel that way or they wouldn't have done it in the first place. Who the h___ are these people anyway? Good Lord. No REAL TALENT around anywhere for CBS to offer the public or did CBS just want the bucks. They can't tell me they didn't know something was up. CBS deserves the anger of the public. They have gone too far. Aplogies won't help.

I agree, I thought she was starting to break into her "mojo" stuff, but she did a nice job!

Another non-apology apology (like CBS gave). And "unlikely" doesn't mean the same as "never".

Oh dear God! Not a female breast!

What's the queer sarcasm supposed to mean?

It was pretty despicable. They already had Toby Keith and Willie Nelson there. Them and Beyonce during halftime, minus all the theatrics, would have been fine.

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, I, I, I...ME ME ME ME... All about you isnt it? How may kids do you have? Why should I now have to put them in their rooms when halftime comes on? When I was their age, Super Bowl was about the game, some halftime analysis (take a pee break). Now its Porky's Halftime.

Was Janet kept abreast of what was going to happen? Or did Timberlake take advantage of her? To me it seemed as though she seemed kind of incoherent, almost as though she had an M.J. cocktail of wine and sleeping tabs.

Using that logic there's no difference between Michelangelo and Larry Flynt. After all, they both did/do nudes.

Do you think nudity is appropriate on network TV during a sporting event that families are watching?

What's CNN got to laugh about? They hired Andrea Thompson.
