I think we should all sue for sexual harassment.

You know,.... it wasnt even a nice breast. Why bother?

[traumer]

Let the Dogs Out....

W O O F !

[Peace will be here soon]

All I needed to hear was who was going to be in the halftime show for me to tune the whole freaking SuperBowl out. The whole thing has turned into a virtual freak show.

I pretty much gave up on the NFL years ago anyway after I got hooked on Rugby. No overpaid whiners playing that sport, that is for sure.

Go Brumbies !!!!

Great rant! I love it.

First of all, it’s not children making a big deal out of this. They probably didn’t even notice.

And therein lies the tragedy. Vulgarity is so pervasive they don't notice.

[Lijahsbubbe]

I don't approve of the decadence that's been occurring, and I don't approve of a boob like Janet(s). I reserve my right to be angry.

Here's the difference: if you go to MTV, VH1, Playboy, or an internet porn site, you know what you're going to see. But this is a show purported to be clean and wholesome, and parents encourage their children to watch.

Nudity at the bank, at church, on Sesame Street, on the Superbowl, and in the State of the Union speech is criminal.

IronJack, your ability to hit the nail dead on the head continues to astound me. Here.......let me go back and find my favorite line......

"The grossest offense is that the media elitists who concoct such rubbish thought so little of me as to think this chintzy, flashpot-spangled grind would entertain me."

Thank you.

Well-written, but I disagree. We need to get mad at both the general degeneration and this latest particular outrage. Unfortunately it often takes a prominent transgression like this to focus and motivate a somnolent public. And it's an opportunity we dare not let pass, or we will slip into further desensitization. The enemy has made a mistake, by going too far too fast. Maybe it will cause the frog in the pot to realize that the water is getting dangerously hot.

I read or heard somewhere that ER is planning Janet: The Sequel on Thursday night. Or perhaps it is to be Janet: The War of the Years since it's supposed to be a much more mature exposure on ER.

If we are going to do this, it seems to me there ought to be more exposure of a larger variety of (what have we?) melons; that is, more of a broad spectrum. For example, the article talks of broad coverage on Cosmo in the check-out lines. I always thought it more appealing to see the larger version that prevails on the covers of Cosmo, even if we need to look to some Jenny Craig "before" models. The point is, if we plan to be fair we need to expose all shapes and sizes and have an on-line poll so we can keep abreast of the most up to date American preferences.

Since Janet only exposed the one, we need to get the National Enquirer investigative reporters on the trail. For now we can only speculate. Enquiring minds want to know. Does Janet have a complete set of pins?

What have we, the NFL, ER, prime time TV...they don't call it the boob tube for nothing.

[i]Children can see that much flesh in an advertisement for Tomb Raider. Cosmopolitan has more cleavage displayed on its cover. Any child going through a grocery store line has probably seen more skin than a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon.

They see it every day in electronic games, music videos, magazine advertisements, and the hallways at school. Half-naked pre-teens are the status quo these days, now that Madonna and Britney Spears are tonsil wrestling on live TV and Bono is cussin’ like a drongo in a Belfast bar. If that’s okay, how is Janet’s mad flash wrong?[/i]

Excellent points. Using this logic, "its no big deal" if I walk into Viacom HQ with a suicide belt strapped around my waist because "everyone does it".

BTW - someone pls clue me in on the html tags here b/c they don't match the other forums I use - confusing.

Iron Jack, you are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!!

As I've said before, my buddies and I were disgusted with the halftime show and we didn't even see the boob incident. We all got up, probably at the point where Jackson started doing the 20-year old "Rhythm Nation" number & dance routine for THE 20,000,000TH TIME. THANKS MTV.

And thanks for the same old crotch-grabbing, mush-mouthed idiots rapping about ... I have no idea. And for that white-trash moron Kid Rock doing his only hit from about five years ago. Oh, and don't forget Aerosmith ...THAT was a fresh act in the pregame. What, was Bon Jovi unavailable? And where was the tribute to Biggie Smalls? Or the lifetime achievement honor for Madonna? Get with it, MTV.
