February 6, 2004 -- For Janet Jackson, it was the breast of times, but for one Tennessee woman it was so bad that she is filing a federal lawsuit demanding billions of dollars in damages.

Bank worker Terri Carlin wants compensation for herself and millions of viewers "injured" by the lewd behavior of Jackson and fellow performer Justin Timberlake during Sunday's Super Bowl coverage.

I'm willing to go in on the class action suit. I was watching while I freeped.

This has got to pay better than the class action suit against the CD manufacturers who were caught price fixing.

[Clock King]

Tort reform now!

[IronJack]

Overkill.

[Fenris6]

Its the only thing these Viacom slime will understand.

Count me in. You can throw whatever winnings over to your fav charity.

So that's why Janet Jackass "apologized" and said CBS and the NFL didn't know about her peel act......no doubt, she probably was forced to say that, to give them all deniability, and cover for lawsuits.

[George W. Bush]

Not too bad.

It'll get tossed out of court. But if she named them all, they'll have to respond. Keeps the heat on them.

Wonder if ACLJ might be behind this.

[IronJack]

Exactly what "injury" did you receive as the result of seeing Janet Jackson's tata?

[IronJack]

Better to sue the FCC, which is tasked with "protecting" the public from just these kinds of things. Then maybe that leftist featherbed will get a little too uncomfortable for complacency.

[alisasny]

WOW, I am stunned to know that this was the first offensive thing this "reclusive" woman has witnessed. Where has she been the past 30 years.

[alisasny]

If she is a conservative she would see that this suit would be bogus and is a believer in tort refrom which leads me to believe she is a feminist Clinton lover : )

Oh the hypocrisy of it all...LOL

[Destructor]

Makin' the breast of a bad situation...

[Fenris6]

Exactly what "injury" did you receive as the result of seeing Janet Jackson's tata? We were all injured. Unless you ripping off a woman's bodice in front of millions of impressionable young males will have no consequenes. My own solution is to napalm Hollywood. Nice object lesson to the pervs. Filing a lawsuit is a good compromise, yes? :)

[new cruelty]

Makin' the breast of a bad situation...

This gives new meaning to tit-for-tat litigation. It sounds like she is making a mountain out of a mole hill.

:)

There ought to be some way to sue these people under some civil equivalent to contributing to the delinquency of a minor. I don't think there is but there should be.

[cid89]

Can someone explain to me why Janet keeps saying that no one at CBS or MTV knew about something that was not supposed to happen. She keeps stating that her top was not supposed to be ripped off but then states no one at CBS or MTV knew about it. Only if it was planned would there be a concern about who knew about it.

[Drawsing]

It is not cool to object to any lewd behavior. The proper response is to adopt a 'I am so sophisticated, I have seen it all, welcome to reality you poor uptight, prudish, churchlady. We of the sophisticated set are not affected in the least by any sensory input....don't you know...(sniff).'

[Saundra Duffy]

I was at Church when it happened so I guess I can't cash in.

[Fenris6]

// sorry I was rushed and mistyped - should read:

Unless you think ripping off a woman's bodice in front of millions of impressionable young males will have no consequences to society.

[Fenris6]

"She keeps stating that her top was not supposed to be ripped off but then states no one at CBS or MTV knew about it"

The whole "we only meant to reveal her bra" line is really hysterical. Like some gang-bangers saying "we only pointed the gun at him to scare him, didn't know it was loaded" after a murder.
