First I went to Drudge and found this statement:
Press Release Source: MTV
MTV Statement on Super Bowl XXXVIII Halftime Incident Sunday February 1, 11:03 pm ET
HOUSTON, Feb. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- The tearing of Janet Jackson's costume was unrehearsed, unplanned, completely unintentional and was inconsistent with assurances we had about the content of the performance. MTV regrets this incident occurred and we apologize to anyone who was offended by it.
Then I went to MTV's website and lo and behold this was right there on the homepage:
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.
It is easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission.

Was this an example of "pushing the envelope" or was it "reflecting society?"

Run this country? No. Run it into the ground? Yes. MTV has become the video equivalent of a 36" diameter sewer pipe pumping raw effluent into the homes of America.
