I don't get it... Why is it such a big deal?!? Here at Holland we have much more nudity on the screen!!! We even have adds with nudity in it. It's not like she was totally stripping or so? If I'd compare it with the videoclip "dirrty" (Christina Aquillera) I think that videoclip is worse then this boob that was uncovered...
It's such a big deal over here because there are (generally speaking) some cultural differences that can be noted between Europe and the US. The US is much more sensitive to nudity and sex. Right or wrong, that's the way the US (speaking very generally) is. You're right when you say your regular tv is more explicit than ours; it's not as sensitive an issue over there. On the flip side, violence tends to be a much more sensitive topic on European tv. We are overwhelmed with it here and don't think twice about it. Not saying either way it right or wrong, just different.

JUICY: Beyonce's Super Bowl gig also involved a breast
FEBRUARY 5--It took almost three days, but the first lawsuit has been filed in connection with Janet Jackson's breast. A Tennessee woman yesterday filed a proposed class action lawsuit "on behalf of all Americans" who watched the Super Bowl halftime show and were somehow injured by Miss Jackson's adorned nipple. In the below federal complaint, Terri Carlin, a 47-year-old Knoxville bank employee, contends that Jackson's exposure and other "sexually explicit conduct" during halftime festivities caused viewers to "suffer outrage, anger, embarrassment and serious injury." Details of those supposed injuries were not further described in the complaint filed by attorney Wayne A. Ritchie II. Along with Jackson, Carlin has named as defendants Justin Timberlake, CBS, MTV, and Viacom. Carlin's complaint seeks compensatory and punitive damages, though an exact dollar figure is not specified. But it seems billions would be in order since Carlin notes that punitive damages should not exceed the gross revenues of all defendants for the past three years. (8 pages)
