NEW YORK - CBS apologized for an unexpectedly R-rated end to its Super Bowl halftime show, when singer Justin Timberlake (news) tore off part of Janet Jackson (news)'s top, exposing her breast.

The two singers were performing a flirtatious duet to end the halftime show, and at the song's finish, Timberlake reached across Jackson's leather gladiator outfit and pulled off the covering to her right breast.

The network quickly cut away from the shot, and did not mention the incident on the air.

Timberlake said he did not intend to expose Jackson's breast.

"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."

Wade said CBS officials attended rehearsals of the halftime show all week, "and there was no indication any such thing would happen. The moment did not conform to CBS' broadcast standards and we would like to apologize to anyone who was offended."

The Super Bowl halftime show, which also featured P. Diddy, Nelly and Kid Rock, was produced by MTV, CBS' corporate cousin in Viacom.

"We were extremely disappointed by elements of the MTV-produced halftime show," Joe Browne, NFL executive vice president, said. "They were totally inconsistent with assurances our office was given about the content of the show.

"It's unlikely that MTV will produce another Super Bowl halftime."

MTV issued a contrite statement, saying the incident was "unrehearsed, unplanned, completely unintentional."

Yeah, answer the question if you can. Idiot.

but if the same woman got up and performed a stripshow in a public place, people would be rightly offended and disgusted.

Bluenoses, gays, and unattractive women. Those people.

It looks like she wants him to me. But then again, maybe that's why I've been slapped so many times.

Yeah - that's the thing about sexual tension. It's hard to read!

[Jim Cane]

The question as to your paternity?

[lonevoice]

I spoke only of the need for the touch myself, expose myself, rape the girl, defile the flag crowd feels to inflict their garbage on families trying to watch a football game. Clear enough for you?

That was clear enough for anyone with a functioning brainstem. Good post!

[HairOfTheDog]

My 7-year-old son had not! Thanks MTV, NFL, and CBS.....you were able to pollute my son with your filthy images just when I least expected it, at a time when I thought my son and I were safe to enjoy a simple game of Champions.

Telling me your 7 year old paid enough comprehending attention to have been polluted by that 3 seconds of image?

This was a whole lot of nothing for a 7 year old, a couple seconds of "wha- oooh!" for a 15 year old, and a whole lot of "something to get upset about" for everyone else.

Me, I didn't see it live, but I love the carnival atmosphere here!

[Jim Cane]

You wear clothes when you leave the house I asume?

Sometimes. But often shirtless, so my nips are out in the wind. Does that make you have shameful, dirty thoughts?

Thanks for keeping us abreast of this story with this pic.

[Jim Cane]

They did him, not vice versa.

The basic facts of genital design say otherwise. The 'doer' is the penetrator. The penatratee is 'done'.

And so am I as soon as the Admin Mod gets here.

Been nice knowing ya, but I expect this particular poster's account is about to be banned. It's been fun.

[GigaDittos]

Don't look for sympathy here.

[Neever]

I hope it's a career killer for Jackson and Timberlake.

That would be just fine.

Make room for some real talent, kiddies. You know, performers who can actually sing and perform, and who don't need to show their boo boo's, pee pee's, and wee wee's to get attention.

[ffusco]

Not unless you are a pretty girl!

[AxelPaulsenJr]

You are either a liar or ignorant of Bible scripture. The Bible clearly states that the daughters got their father drunk so that he would sleep with them.

I always find it curioulsy lacking when an individual comes here to air their detailed comments about an event they claim they didn't even see. That about says it all.

And you find this thread a carnival atmoshpere?!

Have you ever heard of Mardi Gras?

[Jim Cane]

Don't look for sympathy here.

Much like the search for intelligent life, it becomes increasingly rare as the fundy mob approaches jihadist nirvana.

I said I didn't see it live~ - but I have seen the video replays a hundred times.... Just like everyone else here who is upset about it.... although maybe not pressed against the screen as close!

And you find this thread a carnival atmoshpere?! Have you ever heard of Mardi Gras?

I would find the actual event of Mardi Gras to be pretty boring.... watching people react to it is more interesting!

[GigaDittos]

Are you still here?

[Jim Cane]

You are either a liar or ignorant of Bible scripture.

Thankfully I'm not as limited by your two choices as your choice of choices is limited by your ability to conceive ideas.

The Bible clearly states that the daughters got their father drunk so that he would sleep with them.

And God clearly designed the penis in a way which requires a) erection and b) penetration, in order to INseminate.

Even if he was flat on his butt drunk and "making a mountain" of his daughters, he was still the doer. His genitals have to DO something. You yourself used the verb "sleep" to describe his 'actions'.

Men do. Lucky men do often. That's biology.

[AxelPaulsenJr]

Oh he didn't really leave, he was just off privately appreciating the picture of Janet and Justin.

[AxelPaulsenJr]

LOL, the bible also states that he was so drunk he didn't know what happened.
