What the fu... Was that Miss Jackson's..?

[Ksyrup]

I wouldn't have ever thought of this before I was a parent, but I was a little shocked at the Van Helsing commercial they showed during the first half. Just what I'd want my pre-teen to see moments before bed time - werewolves, dracula, and other assorted life-like monsters attacking people.

I don't have any kids, but I have to say that I found that commercial much more disturbing than anything else during the broadcast, except perhaps Phil Simms.

[Ksyrup]

Lucky for me, my daughter went to sleep by 8. Maybe I'm a bit more sensitive to it because she got up last night at 3 am having had a bad dream. If she had seen that commercial, she likely would have needed therapy to get to sleep tonight.

Only if your kids have a hard time discerning between make-believe and real life.

[Draft Dodger]

I'm just intrigued by the "was it staged or was it an accident" aspect of it.

I've seen plenty of boobs. Actually, I'm on my way upstairs to see a couple more. Night all.

At 4? The idea of a werewolf is much easier to comprehend than a fat guy who delivers presents once a year.

[SFL Cat]

Definitely planned and staged, why else would she be wearing a pasty?

Depending on the age, I'd have to say a lot have this problem.

DD, I'm glad you've gotten over looking into the mirror. But you don't have to flaunt yourself.

[Pumpy Tudors]

Was the tit real or make-believe?

[SFL Cat]

Looked pretty real to me...especially from the photo on Drudge.

[yabanci]

silicone.

[Pumpy Tudors]

I hope I have swayed this discussion in a direction that I am actually comfortable with. Yay!

[Craptacular]

MTV and CBS shouldn't exist, and that was my opinion before the Super Bowl.

Wardrobe malfunction???

"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." "

[sabotai]

a "wardrobe malfunction". Is that what it's called when you grab a piece of clothing and rip it off?

Well technically her wardrobe did malfunction Does this mean it was not staged or planned?

[CamEdwards]

so he actually just meant to grab it? o-kay.

And for what it's worth, I was just as offended (if not more so) by Kid Rock's wearing of the American flag. It's a flag, dude... not a poncho.

[Ksyrup]

No, he's sorry she was wearing a pastie. That wasn't in the plan, but Janet lost her nerve.

[yabanci]

Well, I'm going to go have a wardrobe malfunction and take a shower.

[Comey]

Anyone who was questioning about Janet being real/fake, MTV.com has a picture of both Timberlake and Janet looking at her exposed boob...as part of their slideshow, entitled Super Bowl Halftime Highlights (or something like that).

I figure that confirms for me that it was staged.

It's the super bowl... beer, women, usual crappy music, and a football game.

You just watch it an enjoy the game, not sit around to piss and moan about every little thing like you are the PTA.


Unless your kids are getting online to get the 'high definition blown up enlarged' pictures, I don't think you have to worry about them being bothered... not to mention it wasn't anything in the first place.

Its not this specific event that pisses me off, it's that it gets worse and worse while the morality of the culture sinks lower and lower. In and of itself was it a horrible gut wrenching thing? No it wasn't. It's the fact that It has become standard in our culture for children to be aimed at as consumers by people selling them sex.

[Dutch]

Well,

I was embarrassed for my 8 and 9 year old kids who were basically taken aback by the whole show. Seeing men in ladies underwear, teenage boys humping old ladies, old ladies showing their boobs...rappers pulling cheerleaders skirts up....

What the heck does that have to do with the Super Bowl? It wasn't outrageous. It was out of place. I found it very controversial, however, so I'm sure it will make CBS a lot of money somehow.

[SFL Cat]

I hope the FCC slaps CBS with a huge fine.

[Wasabiak]

CBS=Can't Broadcast Sports.........Or anything else for that matter.

Boy, i wish i would have seen it live. I was over on ESPN2 watching poker.

[Craptacular]

Wait ... you wish you watched the halftime show?!?!? I wish I turned on Oxygen or something.

[Wasabiak]

Well, hindsight dude. To be honest, i don't think i have EVER seen a Superbowl halftime show. They always suck. But when tits are part of the program.......Well, it would have been funny to see is all.

Reminds me of the NHL game that Xena (whatever her name is) sang the National Anthem, and her rack fell out in the process. That was kinda cool. Is she related to the lead singer from WASP?

[Travis]

Heh, having seen a bit of, uh, proof now, that wasn't any pasty, more of a very elaborate nipple ring from the looks of things (and thanks to ye ole magnification). That and the piece covering her breast was held on with push buttons, you know, the kind easily ripped off, say, on purpose...

That, or I can see why Britney would want to call the relationship off if that's the way Justin likes to "gently caress", I mean, just own up to the ploy already.

[BigJohn&TheLions]

Normally I don't bother with the halftime show. This time, my old lady was here and wanted to see it. Definetly staged. Viewing the closeup on drudge (i don't like him one bit) that my friends, is a breast. The "pasty" is actually a nipple ring. Look closely, you can see the bar going through the nipple.

Janet is looking a bit worn these days. Her hair covered the face for the most part, but in the stills she doesn't look good. And as far as the exposure of her breast goes, she just went even farther downhill in my book. Totally classless. And not even the best (or in the top 100) breast I have seen...

It's official: The superbowl has become a complete joke. At least the game was good, not that anyone who has anything to do with the surrounding hoopla cares about the inconsiquential game. Maybe in the future, the game itself can be moved to monday night so they can fill the rest of the time with awful music, exposed body parts, and commercials with fart jokes. May God have mercy on us all if we have sunk to this level...

[Travis]

But it's still a cool nipple ring.

[BigJohn&TheLions]

My ol' lady just hipped me to something about the song he was singing (I have no clue about pop culture or it's music, nor do I really care who he is.) Apparently, in the chorus he says "I'm gonna have you naked by the end of this song." Naa, couldn't be staged. Miss Jackson would never go with that, as well as her career is going. I mean, she did sing a hit FROM 1989!

[Suicane75]

What the hell are any of the people they had up there gonna sing? They all sang songs that were at least 3 years old for gods sakes. If they wanted anything relevant they should have just given Outkast or Beyonce Knoles 10-15 minutes to do a a few songs and get the place rockin.

[kcchief19]

I think I understand why CBS didn't want to air the MoveOn.org or PETA ad now. They don't want something that incendiary on the Super Bowl broadcast.

Wait a minute ...

Actually, and thank God I only know this because I just watched the video, not only is that in the chorus, that is what he is singing right as he is pulling off the snap off cup. An accident? A "wardrobe malfunction"*? Uh huh. Way to insult our intelligence.


*side note: What the hell? Unless that outfit had some sort of mechanical parts I'm not aware of it can't malfunction.

Maybe a cuckoo bird was supposed to pop out and let us know the 2nd half was about to begin.

[SuburbanPimp]

I don't know why everyone is getting so upset.

I wear pasties like that all the time...including right now.

Rawr.

[andy m]

i once had a quote of the moment on FOFC, it read:

"the super bowl half time show is for people who can't find porn on the internet".

even more appropriate this year.

Sure, CBS and MTV want to be "shocking," but they ought to show a little judgment considering the audience.

I see what you are saying, but I also cannot see how this changes anything about the society we live in. A bunch of women could have been out there singing and dancing with no skin showing and it would not change the way people act and dress in this country.

[Tekneek]

I don't even know who came up with the idea of 'halftime entertainment' anyway. Have people review the game up to that point, go over the stats, say what they think may happen, and then do a best of highlights segment from the entire season. It is the championship game for the NFL, and the end of its competitive season, so it would be more fitting to pay tribute to the ending season, its past, Hall of Famers, and so on, than throw cabaret acts onto the field with pyrotechnics. The halftime presentation at the stadium could be the same video montages they would run on TV, and perhaps have statistical leaders and season award winners at the 50 for an awards presentation (excluding the guys who are actually playing in the Super Bowl).

Oh, wait, I know why they have the entertainment. It draws in some viewers for those few minutes that absolutely do not care about the game and aren't watching the rest of it. It's a sell-out.

[Karim]

I guess they were worried about the Lingerie Bowl attracting too many viewers.

[Draft Dodger]

there are some pictures out today that do confirm what Big John said above - it definitely is a nipple ring, not a pasty.

SO, you'll let your children watch men violently beat the shit out of each other, curse a storm on the sidelines (trust me you can tell what they say), but you get all freaked out when a nipple comes out at halftime?

[Easy Mac]

dola, let your kid go to a PG-13 movie and they'll see the exact same things... even PG movies have everything but the nipples.

You know a lot about parenting. You should write a book.

If you replace the "God" with "Extra Cheesy Tater Tots" then I completely agree with you...

No worse than all the politicians who will be wrapping themselves up in for the next 9 months, IMNSHO.
