The breast didn't offend me very much. It was the manner in which it was exposed. It was bad enough to have her standing with a bunch of leather fetish "dancers" writhing on the floor, but the manner in which Timberlake ripped off the blouse was very crude. She actually seemed offended and ashamed by it. Is that what we want to teach the kids who are watching? That women should be pushed around and then be ashamed of themselves? That it's alright to publicly grope/humiliate a woman? Even if it was planned ahead of time, she made it look like an unwelcome advance. To put that on national television is creepy. The breast and the tinfoil attached to it don't bother me much at all relative to that.
Agreed. It has all the smackings of an assault.
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.
