God! I'm in total agreement. How far up their ass can the banana be that they make it into such a big deal. It's total BS, I mean look at everything else that is broadcast in T.V. isn't that "offensive" and "not for children" violence, sexually oriented conversations, etc. It's tougher for some to watch a child w/ bullets riddled upon his chest during the war instead of a halftime show. Come on, they need to get their priorities straight. "There will be a further investigation", Great, how much of our tax dollars will go into this one? :mad:


The big problem I have with it is where the display was done. If I were to watch MTV or NYPD Blue, then I know exactly what I'm getting myself into. However, I don't want to watch that kind of stuff so I stay away. Now, the Super Bowl is supposed to be a rather safe, family event. One that a parent should not have to worry about. If Jackson and Timb. want to do that sort of thing, keep it over on MTV where it belongs.

As for the reaction of the NFL and CBS... They both want to appeal to the masses here. If they offend anyone who has rather conservative morals or a young child, they're losing a lot of viewers. Thus, they're going to react strongly to this type of display. In their minds, it's not about morals, it's about money.

I still have to laugh when someone calls a sport where oversized men beat the hell out of each other a "Family event"

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...

Well Dutchy, MY problem with it is that during the championship game of American football, I don't want to see some middle aged skank's tits just because shes trying to revive her career. Secondly, it used to be where EVERYONE in the U.S. could watch the Superbowl, including children of all ages. To me, it was too cheesy, too planned, too ugly and I wish she and her brother would leave the U.S. ... maybe to your country? Do you want them?

I think the worst part of this whole deal is that everyone is forgetting one of the best Superbowls in long time. Like the CBS radio announcer said after covering the whole controversy: "oh, by the way the Superbowl was won in the last four seconds by a field goal."

Is it true that President Bush accused Janet of using "Weapons of Mass Distraction"?

Don't you mean "Weapon of Mass Distraction"

No matter how u cut it a BooB is a Boob

It's a basic scientific formula

Ugly Face < Boob >Pretty Face (Boob is greater than Pretty

or Ugly Face)

Boob+Unexpected Variable= Shocking

Boob in essence is the foundation of all Scientific Knowledge. :P

George was right when he sang

"Sex is natural - sex is good
Not everybody does it
But everybody should"

Funny how there is so much outrage about her bearing her breast on TV, yet most of the major news websites are showing the picture off, which is just as easy for kids to see.

Kids are on the internet like NEVER before, and the pictures are plastered all over the place. They're seeing them everywhere. More people have probably seen it on the internet rather than during the actual half-time show.
