Janet Jackson's Pierced Nipple

My home, my office, computer, my posts. No kiddos allowed, dumbass!

"Why the hell are they blurring my penis on Survivor then? Let's hear all you little boys that are saying its OK to show Janet's breast raise hell about the double standard. Oh, I get it, that might seem like you promote something you're a little to uncomfortable with. Fucking hypocrites. I'll bet at least Flagpole uses the same brush to paint both pictures."

Again, why no hue and cry about this? Haven't seen one single reply.

Ok sorry, but no music artist listed on this thread is any good. No one who has performed in the superbowl half time show in my life time has been talented. And yes, that includes U2 who are god awful.

As far as, how is U2 changing the world in comparison to Janet Jackson or any of the others, Bono does trek to the White House regularly in his fight against the third world debt. So maybe he will not change the world for you, or me, but he might help change the world for some people in Africa.

"-- U2 frontman Bono was thumping the Third World debt relief drum this weekend in Philadelphia, meeting with African leaders at a trade summit there. Bono tells LAUNCH that he remains committed to the issue and to getting industrialized nations to forgive the debts of the world's underdeveloped nations, making refunds where necessary so that those countries have an infusion of funds they can begin to use to help their societies grow.

"We've got a, a struggle on our hands getting the money that the governments have agreed to, because there's complications with things like (the U.S.) Congress in America and a few other places, but we are gonna get it through," he says. "And even more than the hundred billion dollars that they have agreed to, I have a feeling that the next step is realizing that debt cancellation is only the door through to really dealing with the responsibility the developed countries have for the state of the developing nations"

Well.... I am sure Janet is out there doing her part as well...

ps. Areola -nice language, I am sure your kids greatest fear is seeing ONE tit on TV for a micro second. (I didn't approve, but nor do I approve of your nonsense.)

This is what Track and Field needs to be popular.

Nice reply, I doubt you keep your language clean off the computer either. Sounds like an all-around douche bag!!

I was disgusted by the amount of rest that those lazy NFL players get at half-time, as if they don't get any other breaks during the game.

It is totally anti-aerobic sports action that is fattening america from the elite level down to school kid football.

The huge farcical trash show called half-time is the devil!

While I might not be "that bright," I don't think I'm out of line to expect a halftime show at the Superbowl to play to the Superbowl audience--not to Janet Jackson or Justin Timberlake's audience. I'm sure the folks at CBS and the NFL felt the same.

This was not a sensual, artistic performance. This was just dropping Janet Jackson's boob into the final shot of the halftime performance (I actually liked the show up until the moment Justin and Janet started their act together).

And for those who think this should go over just fine with young kids--you don't have young kids. You do your best to prepare your kids for all the emotions they have to face in life. You understand that many of their experiences will be out of your control. But you don't expect one of those experiences to be broadcast into your living room during the Superbowl. And if you think kids don't have an innate reaction to overt sexuality--well then, once again, you don't have kids.

The question has been raised: why is the violence of the game all right but a little sex not all right? Because we parents have had a chance to talk to our children ahead of time. To explain that there is, in fact, violence in this game. To explain that there are rules which attempt to curtail this violence, but that they should expect to see instances that violate the rules. In other words, we get to prepare them. We weren't allowed that preparation with Janet.

I'm not a prude.

Anyone who knows me might suggest I'm the exact opposite.

But I'm a parent. And I know when my rights as a parent have been infringed upon.

The halftime shows are always overblown spectacles. I couldn't even make it through the first minute of Kid Rock, so I never got to see Janet. Oh well.

But this Timberlake guy...you all realize he is phenomenally untalented, right?

The human body is natural and beautiful, murder is not. Why are we ok with murder in the media but nudity is taboo?

I do have young impressionable children and I would much rather them see someone's breasts than someone being filled full or lead or stabbed repeatedly in the name of entertainment.

SoCal Pete,

If you liked that "show" up until the final money shot, you have absolutely no taste or artistic sensibility whatsoever. It was easy for me to prepare my kids for the "show" by telling them that this was shlock, the worst, classless, talentless, quasi-aerobics.

You've taken the time to explain to your kids about the violence inherent in football but haven't taken the time to explain the sexual nature of tv itself and of music?

You can also prepare children and let them know that their bodies are not something to be ashamed of and that there are times and places for nudity.

I agree that this action by Jackson and Timberlake was completely out of line but no more so than Marty McSorley laying the lumber to Donald Brashears head.

Both situations require parents to hold healthy discussions with their children.

If you can take the time to explain the violence and rules controlling it in sport you can also take the time to discuss sexuality and its place with children.

A pop icon shows a little tit at the halftime of the Super Bowl and everyone gasps "Oh my god, how could they". Find out that one of the reasons the country was taken into a pre-emptive war may have hinged on false information, a shrug of the shoulders and back to searching the web for ms. jackson's naked breast.

Hey I missed the streaker before the second half kick-off. I think he has a case here that if it goes to court. The Janet Jackson Defense. Does anybody have a way to post the picture here for court records. Also I think its LOL funny and I missed it. I sure plenty of others that posted here did to since they were so mispleased in seeing Janet that they turned their tv off. Right! Show it if you got it. As for getting ESPN coverage we will have to have the nude women's high jump for us to get the prime time showing. And believe me I would watch. Never did get a chance to buy the Calendar they put out. Anyone have pictures of that to post.

Perhaps we should have a "War on Halftime Breasts" since the "War on Terror" is getting little good press, and the "War on Performance Enhancing Drugs" hasn't blossomed yet.

Ok...if it wasn't planned...why did she wear something you could remove to expose only a breast? Justin: "I didn't mean to, I'm sorry." Bullshit...this man's gotten enough pussy to know what's gonna expose a breast. I mean, it was cool and all...I'm a huge fan of gratuitous nudity...but...don't be all full of crap about it.

Is it online or not?

The whole halftime extravaganza is a little weird. For starters, it's explosions and lip synching which does very little for me or most adults. Wow! Flavor-of-the-month pop stars gyrating in front of pyrotechnics - woohoo! It's like...Woodstock?, no...Altamont?,...TRL?

I don't think too many kids are going to be traumatized by seeing a breast but, I find it more objectionable to hear Diddy and Nelly rapping about "ass", "bastards", and "take your clothes off". Pitty the poor parents that must explain what that means to their six year old.

The NFL and CBS need to understand that the Super Bowl audience encompasses all ages, gender, ethnicity, and viewpoints on morality. You can't please everyone but, a little discretion and decorum wouldn't hurt.
