CBS Apologizes for Jackson's Exposure

AP ^ | Feb. 1 2004

[Jackson Brown]

It was unclear whether Timberlake intended to expose Jackson's breast.

BS!

She had a "tassle" over her nipple, that was planned.

At least the NFL came out and send that MTV will NEVER produce another Superbowl halftime. Let's hold them to that.

They said it was "unlikely" that MTV would produce another halftime show. There's wiggle room there, sorry to say.

Stop talking about it, stop writing about, stop commenting about it...

The more press this gets, the more Janet Jackson and MTV get exactly what they were aiming for in the first place.

Sheesh.

[Unknown Freeper]

gotcha.

[peteram]

She's got four threads running now and it just happened at half time.

Gotta love the immediacy of the Internet.

[noutopia]

Try and e-mail CBS. I tried and tried but no success.Liberal as@holes.

"It was unclear whether Timberlake intended to expose Jackson's breast."

Also, it was unclear why shy Janet Jackson was wearing a cheap pasty, in the event Timberlake might to decideto expose said saggy orb.

[BIGZ]

Janet cant bare her breast but it's ok for the Black guy to play with his Dick for five minutes.

You wonder what the problem is with our children, educate them on MTV and what you see is what you get.

I have often wondered why Teachers, Democratic Candidates, NOW, Black leaders, Jessie Jackson, Harry Belafonte, etc. condone this crap.

[Terry Mross]

This is bs. The emails and phone calls made them change their story. According to Drudge the CBS brass approved this stunt. If heads don't role at CBS ....

They are both owned by VIACOM.

It's like a rapist pointing with his right hand toward his left and scolding it for doing a bad thing.

That's the truth. What is the name of the watchdog agency that's supposed to fine broadcasters? They should take away CBS's license.

[Howie66]

cbs can take their "apology" and stuff it where the sun won't shine.

I'm writing a letter to the Commissioner of the National Football League, Mr. Paul Tagliabu and letting him know just what I think about this garbage that is supposed to pass for half-time entertainment.

cbs should stick to what they know best, Bush Bashing and soaps.

[Leroy S. Mort]

Stop talking about it, stop writing about, stop commenting about it...

If a boob falls in the forest and there's no one commenting on it, does it make a sound?

[illiac]

Just another liberal stunt....as Bill Clinton...it was "just sex"

[trustandobey]

It is time to file complaints!

[angkor]

Wade said CBS officials attended rehearsals of the halftime show all week,

Then they are lying.

The entire show was a soft porn production from start to finish.

[Political Junkie Too]

So, let me see if I understand this right. CBS refused to air a Moveon.org commercial during the Super Bowl because they claimed they don't run "convroversy ads," and yet they do this during the Super Bowl?

What's up with that?

[Terry Mross]

Like I said on another thread: the streaker gets hauled off by the cops while another set of cops escort Janet to her limo. In court the streaker should claim it was all part of the show.

[LisaMalia]

I think it's called "damage control"...aka..."trying to save your arse in the midst of a major pr blunder"

[harpo11]

I hope FCC fines CBS, MTV, VIACOM, big big time.

[illiac]

Totally agree. I was wondering if there was anything to "play with for 5 minutes". The super bowl (small case letters) is becoming an extension of what we don't want our kids to become....
