The singer who brought us Nipplegate feels that she’s the victim of “a plot by conservative forces” in the U.S. according to the Sunday Express of London. “I was used just to take the attention off what was really going on in the world,” Jackson told the paper. “A lot of things that actually happened, the after-effects, all that was already on the desk but everyone’s trying to point the finger, ‘See what you did, see what you did.’ I didn’t do anything. It was going to happen at some point with someone, it just so happened to be me. They made something out of nothing. ... Everybody’s got their underwear in a knot in America.”

From the insane uproar it caused, it's obvious that she has the most powerful boob in the entire universe.

We'd better be nice, lest she unleash it again.

Oh, shut-up, Janet and GROW UP!!

See, I knew that boob-exposing stunt was PLANNED! Duh! She had the thing all dressed up! Now she wishes to blame someone else for the heat she got. Well, Ms. Jackson, you thought folks wanted to see your boobs. You found out they didn't.

GET OVER IT!

"Everybody’s got their underwear in a knot in America."

At least - for the most part - America's underwear remains concealed and in one piece.

I guess when millions didn't agree with her. LOL.

“I was used just to take the attention off what was really going on in the world,” Jackson told the paper.

So, in her wag the dog senerio, she was the dog being wagged, then.

It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye.

Exactly!

Ok, that makes sense. I was wondering who snuck backstage before the halftime show and sabotaged the breast part of her costume and then hypnotized Timberlake to grab her breast and pull at the part of her garment covering it while singing about having her naked by the end of the song, all after hypnotizing Janet into putting an elaborate piece of jewelry over her nipple even though it wasn't supposed to be exposed. Now I know. It was the vast right wing conspiracy. We strike again.

What would she know about underwear?

[LadyShallott]

It's amazing what we can do isn't it? :)

Her next publicity stunt will be she is caught with a 12 year old in bed.

[My Favorite Headache]

Just like a typical liberal and just like her brother...trying to pin her own doings on someone else.

[RandallFlagg]

Juggy Janet didn't blame FR?

I'm SO depressed.
