It's not the newest thing, it's been around for quite some time. I'm seeing two girls that have both nipples done and I have both of mine done, too. And they do hurt really bad when you first get them and their a pain to clean. On an athletic person they are aesthetically pleasing, however.

"What game? ..what..Let me guess. The Celtics got a home run in the last period?"

Sounds like something Les Nessman would say.

[Porterville]

Oh the horror, the horror of the evil female breast... bad breast!!! How dare Americans be exposed to breast.... Tom Robbins wrote a book about a ranch of Lesbians ran by some crazy rich guy.... he thought women's bodies were evil too... bad, bad, women's body...

[Dante3]

What does that nerd Tagliabue have to say?

[KansasConservative1]

What about Kid Rock with a flag torn in the middle and wearing it like a poncho...

That kind of pissed me off as well.

[Sloth]

Notice the fact she has a red lace bra underneath her outfit's left breast and not underneath the outfit's right breast.

Nope... look in Justin's left hand. It was tear-away as well. All planned.

Bu** *&it!

That's all I can say! I'm not watching another CBS program all year! I'm sitting there w/ my 3 year old and this happens. Meanwhile, what we get from CBS is...

""CBS deeply regrets the incident that occurred during the Super Bowl halftime show," the statement said. "We attended all rehearsals throughout the week and there was no indication that any such thing would happen. The moment did not conform to CBS broadcast standards, and we would like to apologize to anyone who was offended."

Yeah, well I regret too that I'm not gonna be watching any of their programming for the rest of the year either and that it's gonna be one big hassle in my life making sure that I'm always paying attention what network I'm watching.

Both companies are owned by Viacom and if they wanted CBS to have known then they would have known. TV has generated into a soft porn pit of sh&$ even on primetime. It's frustrating, aggravating, irritating, etc., etc., etc., that what's supposed to be a family program turns into a piece of filth.

And we wonder why contries of non-christian religious bases, yet with strong moralities in these areas think we're a pompous nation! It has little if anything to do with standing up for ourselves and everything to do with the liberal CRAP spewing forth from the mouths and brains of the same people crying foul the loudest, the liberals!

And CBS people, if you really think that the nation is stupid enough to not see through your bogus attempt "hiding behind the different companies" under Viacom, then you're ten times as stupid as those that you think are. Here's a clue, try helping the execs at your network to go find their balls since they apparently either lost them or simply never had any!

If anyone was offended by this, don't EVER watch Wild On! Goodness!

I never heard of Wild On --- and wasn't going to watch it or let my kids watch it --- it's one thing for people to turn on their cable tv's to intentionally watch strip shows or whatever gets their attention --- but some of us want our kids watching wholesome shows --- and we thought the Superbowl might be one.

[Chewbacca]

I won't even get into the different words for cars with a broken taillight. OK, OK, I will. It's either "padungle" or "paduncle."


In my family a car with a missing/broke tail light was called a "diddlepit".

[mel]

They don't look very happy what is this physicial sexual abuse trying to popularize now. Oh well, after Britney/Madonna Timberlake had to do something to outdo that, he said he wanted to create a buzz. Aside from that I didn't see it my tv is bad, the show was terrible. Gee

[FITZ]

What is also disgusting are the lies.

The lies and the desperation. Pop music is so lame --- Justin Timberlake??? It's about the most talentless generation of pop music ever. They apparently can't get viewers to come watch MTV so have to bring their crap and force it on us.

[RayChuang88]

MTV and CBS should SUE these two. Janet and Justin won't be able to survive their legal fees defending this one.

I expect the FCC to chime in on this and expect a multi-million dollar fine against Viacom (which owns both CBS and MTV Networks) for that stunt. It will also guarantee that we'll have a lot more tamer halftime shows at the Super Bowl from now on.

[Jim Cane]

There's no such thing as a fun, wholesome pop entertainment that people of all ages can enjoy.

There's nothing move enjoyable and wholesome as women's breasts whether you're a small babies or a skeletal Nicole Smith sugar daddy. They are round, warm, inviting, comforting, necessary to the survival of the species, and their appeal, eternal.

[FReepaholic]

>>...But I really enjoyed it and didn't think it lasted LONG enough...<<

I think they should do away with the halftime shows altogether.

They're too long, they're not very well produced and they try to cram too much into the shows. Plus all the fireworks create tons of smoke that hangs around and ruins the view of the game.

[Jaded]

flirtatious duet to end the halftime show

IMO, that understates it just a bit.

2 thoughts:

Perhaps Janet had considered donning a bejeweled single glove on her right hand to show solidarity with her brother, then thought, "Hey....I could get back at CBS for ditching his special by donning a bejeweled pasty instead..."
AND
I'm no 5th Avenue whizkid advertiser/marketer, but why in the world would the same television event have a half-time show designed to appeal to my kid's generation (who has NO SPENDABLE MONEY to speak of) while the advertising was designed and booked to people of my generation and the Boomers (Mitsubishi, Erectile dysfunctiond drugs, etc.)?

[varon]

then next year we might actually see something with a little class?

Is there any "class", with few exceptions, still left in the entertainment industry?

[Dante3]

You used the right word -- desperation.

[Winston Smith Jr.]

The network quickly cut away from the shot

They wouldn't show the streaker who apparently ran on the field just before the second-half kickoff, either. (I think that would have been pretty funny.)

[petitfour]

Flirtatious?

What a disgrace to our nation that half-time show was!
