OUTRAGE AT CBS AFTER JANET BARES BREAST DURING DINNER HOUR; SUPER BOWL SHOW PUSHES LIMITS
**Exclusive**
Top CBS executives approved a musical skit where Janet Jackson would expose her breast during the MTV-produced Super Bowl half-time concert, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
"The decision to go forward went to the very top of the network," a well-placed source explained from New York.
The groundbreaking scene came during the most-watched television broadcast of the year -- and during the dinner hour for the nation's west coast viewers.
In a press release before Sunday's game, CBS's sister outlet. [VIACOM's] MTV promised "Janet's Shocking Moments."
"I'll get you naked by the end of this song," sang performer Justin Timberlake, moments before he ripped off Jackson's top, exposing a bare breast -- the nipple covered by a tassel.
CBS's main New York switchboard was immediately bombarded with complaints about the stunt, netowrk sources said late Sunday.

If CBS successfully renegotiates, the NFL can punish CBS by stripping their turn, not allowing them another Super Bowl until XLIII in 2009

Alright, Michael Powell. Big fines, and I mean BIG FINES for CBS, NFL & VIACOM for clear violation of standards and practices.
Nothing less will do.
No discussion, no hearing, no lawyers. That's why Congress sets up commissions.

With CBS, you KNOW the "C" don't stand for class (probably Castro).
For those who missed it, here are da perps seconds AFTER the exposure.
See DRUDGE for the full exposure.

Thank goodness Rick Lazio didn't pull that trick in the debate in 2000.

Yikes -- Jacksonville and Detroit! Sheesh, I'd be one disappointed reporterman. Neither's making my list of places to go on expense account. Whatever happened to the unofficial Super Bowl rotation of Bourbon Street-South Beach-SoCal? Houston to North Florida to Decay, Michigan just ain't getting it done. That said, Jake'll be in JAX next year. Jake Plummer, that is!

Why should the photo be banned? It's on Drudgereport.com for the whole world to see. A place for everything, and everything in it's place.
Drudge may be an ally on many fronts, but I certainly don't share his fascination for the world of celebrity. Let him host the photo. It's widely available there, and should anyone who missed the moment on tv care to judge for themselves the site is only a click away.

I must have hit close to home. That kind of fake sincerity is always a dead give away.

Who bleeding cares about Janet Jackson's breast. What an ego this woman has if she thinks anybody gives a crap about her boob. The Jacksons are the wierdest, most screwed up people in America. I wish they would all dry up and blow away.
To: Diogenesis
To supplement the discussion and spare you the sight. What in the world is this women thinking? She's old.

The performers at half time were hot- about 10 years ago. I'm surprised that Janet wasn't in a wheel chair or using a walker. Middle aged women flashing is just gross.
And P-Diddly Daddy? I thought he was working Branson.
Thats okay. People your age flashing tribalistic tattoos and piercings strike me as gross, but I chalk it up to permanent evidence of temporary insanity.
Did you know that todays hottest acts are stealing styles, riffs and inspiration from Parliament/Funkadelic, Queen and the Rolling Stones? As the Olympic hero says: its true, its damn true. Everything you like has been done before just as the Led Zeppelin, Clapton and others my 41 year old mummified ears enjoyed during their youth actually came from Robert Johnsons real Delta blues and Frank Sinatras mastery of timing and arrangement.
Im not getting on your case. Im just saying be cool about whats cool and expand beyond the boundaries set by pony-tailed music business executives only interested in your wallet. My town (Nashville) is full of these guys and they love to brag about how they have the youth and their money in thrall. SOBs are good at running fast when we get tired of their crap; Ill hand them that.
