FCC launches investigation into halftime show

AP ^ | 2/2/04

MTV is lying. They wanted to push filth on us.

Next year, when it's the cheerleaders stripping, do we have to skip football altogether so liberals can flaunt their values on national TV?

There's soft porn on cable 24 hours a day. Isn't that enough?

Why's it important for liberals to push porn during football games?

Don't liberals have cable? Can't they watch liberal sleaze anytime they want?

MTV's still on round the clock. Right? What am I missing here?

I'm not saying liberals can't watch what they want - I'm saying I don't want it forced down my throat. Is that too much?

Would MTV approve of conservatives breaking into their soft porn TV shows with messages about family morality? If not, why not? Or, are there two standards? One for liberals who want to push gutter values, one for conservatives when we want to push ours?

I "get" the turn the channel thing. Would a liberal accept the same? Would liberals be happily willing to turn the channel every time a conservative wanted to force our views on their channels?

Penalize MTV, CBS, Jackson and Timberlake and anyone else in H'weirdville involved in this porno.

"I am sorry that anyone was offended by the wardrobe malfunction during the halftime performance of the Super Bowl," Timberlake said in a statement. "It was not intentional and is regrettable."

Are you sure Justin Timberlake said that, it sounds more like a Lanny Davis quote.

It's all marketing. Jackson and Thimblebrain's record sales will be up significantly by day's end.

"wardrobe malfunction,"

Isn't the english language a wonderful thing?

Let's hope the FCC addresses the simulated violence against women, a prelude to rape, that was displayed by Timberlake.

You are right!

It was MTV's chance to do something on a network broadcast and they blew it big time. I wonder if their references to MTV's website which hints at Janet's "shocking moments" is posted this morning.

"I am sorry that anyone was offended by the wardrobe malfunction during the halftime performance of the Super Bowl," Timberlake said in a statement. "It was not intentional and is regrettable."

Someone needs to ask him what the intended result of what he was doing was, if it was an "accident." I pretty much saw him reach over, grab the cup, yank it off, and leave it at that. If that wasn't supposed to happen, what was?

[BlueNgold]

My voyuerism got the best of me... I looked over the frame by frame on a British News site ... no way it was unintentional...

[Agnes Heep]

Evidently anyone who watched that halftime show got a lot more degradation than simply a naked breast.

[camle]

i agree, why isn't the da's office investigating this if it is sexual battery?

[sirshackleton]

Actually, the more I think about it, the more I think it was an accident. Timberlake thought that was Michael Jackson he was dancing with.

[YaYa123]

Don't blame it on language. Blame it on the world as we know it, after Clinton. Celebrities and cretins learned from their master. Look you in the eye, lie, and expect full vindication. Their arrogance astounds me! Like the Clintons, they think we are fool enough to believe their lying explanations for all manner of crimes, misdemeanors, and assaults on our sensibilities.

[caisson71]

I don't know why anyone would be surprised. What else could the combination of CBS and MTV produce? The whole halftime performance not the typical class act for the super bowl.

wardrobe malfunction

I just LOVE that phrase! Do they think we're all about six years old?

When posting those pictures, please do so as a link.

"Inappropriate and unsuitable left upper limb appendage auto-reactive response..." Justin said, trying to explain his actions.

[kimoajax]

Just in the nip of time. It must just be something with the Jacksons...cause the next thing I expect to hear is how Janet has started having juice drinks with little girls.
