You're right centrifuge -- we're beating this past incident to death, already.

There's a time and place for everything. This was neither the time nor the place.What's the bad thing about a booby appearing on TV for a few seconds, again? I'm confused. What are people afraid of?
The Super Bowl is watched by a lot of families. Insult to injury was that it was during family hour on a Sunday. Also, there was a lot of bumping and grinding going on during the number, leaving aside the nipple ring. Lastly, this is broadcast TV, not cable TV, where you actively choose to buy programming.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

Oh, yeay -- THAT was the message!
From today's VH1.com Music News newsletter...
Without the appearance of Janet's breast, that's certainly the message I would have gotten!MTV released this statement Monday night:
"MTV was as surprised and shocked as anyone last night. Janet Jackson acknowledged that we had no prior knowledge of her plans. We will continue to investigate the circumstances.
Our goal with the Super Bowl Halftime show was to produce an entertaining stage experience with a positive message about empowerment and voting. We are disappointed that this message has been overshadowed by the unfortunate incident.
MTV apologizes again to anyone who was offended."
Yeah!

She was not upset that her nine year old son, and 13 year old son saw this. And don't try to explain this away with the simplistic statement "she must be a bad mother" -- given that you do not even know her, in the first place.A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.Comment

I don't know her, so I can't say that she's not a bad mother either.
(i.e., keep your strawmen to yourself)
I know a lot of people who wouldn't want their children watching this kind of stuff. And given the time and place, they had reasonable expectation that they wouldn't be watching this kind of stuff.
Don't get me wrong, I don't mind the flesh personally. But I think we should make parents of this persuasion feel less uncomfortable raising their children in this society.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

It's bad enough that TV is being constantly dumbed-down and sleazed-down, and the SuperBowl should be one of those things that families can watch together for a change. Hopefully, people will stop watching TV altogether because of this debacle."Perhaps a new spirit is rising among us. If it is, let us trace its movements and pray that our own inner being may be sensitive to its guidance, for we are deeply in need of a new way beyond the darkness that seems so close around us." --MLK Jr.Comment

Yeah, wishful thinking, that would require people to get off of their fat rumps and find a hobby... too much work.Originally posted by Jac de Molay

...besides they would probably just start wasting their time by roaming through internet forums

Why is this significant? Do you not actively choose to a) have a television and b) turn it to a given channel? How is broadcast any more of a forced experience than cable?Originally posted by DanS

She's not that attractive, people! Now if it had been someone like Beyonce Knowles, I could understand the reaction.
